Lorraine Star Reveals Heartfelt Tears in Emotional Baby Announcement

Former Strictly Come Dancing contestant Tyler West shared a touching moment on ITV’s show Tuesday as he celebrated a new addition to his family. Host Ranvir Singh, filling in for the week, quickly brought up the exciting news, saying, “Now, Tyler. Congratulations. I know you’re here for loads of showbiz, but congratulations, Uncle Tyler!”

Tyler, visibly moved, responded, “I’ve been crying my eyes out. I feel like I’ve had the baby!” He then revealed that his brother and sister-in-law recently welcomed a baby boy named Blake, marking Tyler’s first time as an uncle. He admitted, “I’ve never held a baby! I’m actually an uncle, and I’ve never held a baby that young as well—literally less than 24 hours old!”

When Ranvir asked if he was nervous, Tyler joked that he was worried about “breaking” the newborn due to his tiny size. He confessed, “I was properly shaking! Do you know what happens as well when a newborn comes? Everybody goes, ‘You’re next.’ I’m like, ‘Chill out!’” When Ranvir teased him about his relationship status, Tyler laughed and quickly dismissed the idea, saying, “No way!”

Tyler’s personal life has been under the spotlight since he began dating EastEnders actress and fellow Strictly Come Dancing alum Molly Rainford. The couple met during the BBC dance show in 2022, but it wasn’t until a year later, while on the Strictly tour, that their relationship blossomed, reported OK! Magazine.

Speaking fondly about his new nephew, Tyler said, “Blake is just the most beautiful little boy. He’s so loved, and our family is just overjoyed at the moment.” When Ranvir commented on the transformative nature of becoming an uncle, saying, “Your heart just opens up in a new way,” Tyler agreed, admitting that he already had plans to spoil baby Blake.

The 28-year-old couldn’t contain his happiness, grinning from ear to ear as he shared more details about the moment he held his nephew for the first time. Tyler later posted a series of heartwarming photos on social media, capturing the special day at the hospital. In the post, he expressed his joy, writing, “Never known a feeling like it. Blake West, welcome to the world, our beautiful nephew. We love you so much already. Couldn’t be prouder @lewiswest91 @yasmin__west.”

The candid moment between Tyler and Ranvir gave viewers a glimpse into the softer side of the former Strictly star, showcasing his excitement and joy in this new role as an uncle. Tyler’s heartfelt confession and the sweet family photos have delighted fans, who’ve watched him grow both on-screen and off, making this family milestone all the more meaningful.
