Jeremy Kyle could be getting an incredible Christmas present this year - his sixth child.
He revealed his pregnant wife Vicky Burton may well give birth on December 25 even though the TalkTV host says their baby isn't expected until very early next year. Jeremy knows there's a chance the little one could make an early appearance and they may not be getting turkey at all on Monday week.
This will be the second child for Jeremy and Vicky, who tied the knot in 2021 and welcomed their son Oliver the year before. Jeremy also has four other children from previous marriages. He is also dad to Alice, 18, Ava, 16, and 12-year-old Henry with ex-wife Carla Germaine. Vicky worked as their nanny before the star's marriage fell apart.

Christmas could be turned upside down if Vicky, 40, goes into labour early (Roland Leon Daily Mirror)When asked about his Christmas plans, he told The Sun: "At home. New house on the coast, with the in-laws and my heavily pregnant wife." He jokingly added: "What could go wrong? Nothing at all unless she goes into labour on Christmas day." And it wouldn't be the first time his family has celebrated a festive arrival; his daughter Alice was born on New Year's Eve.
Despite this exciting possibility, don't expect Jeremy to be putting together any complex toys come Christmas morning, as he admitted: "I can't do anything practical at all. To the point where I'm told to go away." Jeremy and Vicky said they are thrilled to be expecting a daughter, following the birth of their first child together, Oliver.

In a heartbreaking revelation last October, Jeremy shared that his wife Vicky had suffered a miscarriage earlier in the year before falling pregnant with their second child. Vicky opened up about the devastating experience, telling the Mirror: "It was devastating. People say, 'It's so early, it's just a bunch of cells', but as a woman you can't help but get attached to what's going on in your body,"
This was the second miscarriage for the couple, who also lost a baby at nine weeks, before conceiving their son Oliver, now three, in 2019. Jeremy reflected on the emotional journey, saying: "The second miscarriage was the hardest for Vic. Because we'd had one before, we tried not to get excited. It was an emotional rollercoaster." Jeremy was diagnosed with testicular cancer in 2012, and underwent treatment including the removal of the affected testicle.
Earlier this year, the TV host joyfully announced the news of his wife's pregnancy to The Sun, joking: "Vic says I need to set up a side business by bottling it because I'm 58 and I've only got one testicle, but everyone knows that anyway. It's a baby girl, she's due early next year, and we're over the moon as our family is complete."
