Storm Huntley shows off newborn son Otis in his TV debut as she speaks about labour

Storm Huntley had the Jeremy Vine Show in tears today as she debuted her new baby Otis while sharing details about his birth.

The Scottish presenter, 35, only gave birth a week ago, but looked radiant as she appeared from her home via video link.

Holding her bundle of joy, the raven-haired beauty told the panel the tot loves sleeping as she held little Otis up to the camera.

The adorable scene was all too bit much for panellist Gemma Forte, with Jeremy telling his pal: "Well you've already made Gemma cry."

"Well done Storm, he's so beautiful," Gemma gushed as guest Iain Dale also got the feels, admitting: "Even I'm emotional and I don't even like babies.

Otis was delivered by C-section last Monday after Storm opted for the procedure due to her gestational diabetes.

Jeremy asked his colleague whether she bonded immediately with her son as soon as he made an appearance.

But Storm teased: "Well, no, I was on an operating table, which isn't the best place for a bonding scenario."

Unusually, the star ended up going into labour the morning of her C-section, revealing she was having contractions five minutes apart as I she walking in to the operating theatre.

When asked if there was a possibility to change her birthing plan at the last minute, Storm explained that the thought of giving birth naturally suddenly 'terrified' her.

"They said do you want to do it naturally and I thought I'm here now, I'm about 20 mins from meeting my baby let's go for it, I've got my head around it - so we went for the C-section."

Storm is married to LaFontaine frontman Kerr Okan, who is apparently taking to fatherhood like a "duck to water".

The rocker is also taking care of his wife following her operation, including emptying catheters and giving her injections to stop blood clots.

When asked how the couple came up with their son's name, some of the panel wondered whether it was because of the character Otis in Sex Education.

However Storm said they didn't watch the show and arrived at the name after vetoing each other's previous decisions.

Little Otis looked just like his mum with a mop of black hair, however Storm said he didn't look like the baby she first imagined when he was born.

"He looked like an old boxer that had been in too many fights," she joked.

"He was wrinkly and angry, but within five minutes I was in love and we were in the recovery room and it was just such a magical time."

Storm is breastfeeding Otis, but admitted it was "very, very difficult".

As the star signed off, she promised she would bring the baby onto the show soon.

"Or you can come," she said to which Jeremy replied: "Ooh yes, I might just bring the whole Vine family round."
