‘We have some huge plans for when I return, so make sure you’re tuned in.

The This Morning star wrote: ‘The reality of my morning: I was so excited to be live on @capitalofficial breakfast at 8am to announce that I will be back on the show September 2nd, however to make that happen I had to start at 6am preparing for it!
‘From rocking Ruby with my foot whilst I ate my cereal, to sterilising bottles in the microwave whilst I dashed for a wee, it was a mission!
‘At one point I was doing my mascara with one hand, whilst holding a bottle in another – feeding Ruby moments before going live so she wouldn’t cry when I was on air!
‘Long story short, in the rush of finding a clean top to wear and changing another wet nappy I didn’t have time to put any trousers on and so this is me, live on FaceTime, to the nation…in my pants.’
In July, Sian sweetly said that becoming a mother is the ‘best thing she’s ever done’ as she made her first remote TV appearance after welcoming daughter Ruby.
The This Morning presenter spoke to her co-stars Cat Deeley and Ben Shephard on the daytime TV show a few days after becoming a mother where she admitted she was ‘deliriously tired’ following an emergency C-section.
She said: ‘I am tired, delirious, but is the best thing I have ever done. I am absolutely over the moon.
‘I am loving every second despite it being carnage at times. Jake was actually filming me at the time when I held her and I said: ”I can’t believe I’m meeting you it feels like a dream!”
She went on to reveal that she ended up having an emergency c-section after initially planning a water birth.

Sian explained: ‘I said I will do whatever is the safest delivery for the baby.
‘I was planning a water birth but ended up having an emergency c-section. I felt so safe I was in amazing hands. The midwives are actually incredible but obviously I’m feeling quite sore.’
On her supportive partner Jake she added: ‘He is such a natural – you do fall in love with your partner all over again. He has taken over when he needed to.
‘He has supported me when I needed to and supported me when I was emotional.’
Announcing her joyful baby news on Instagram alongside a slew of adorable snaps, Sian wrote: ‘Our little Ruby [love heart emojis]’.
Sian posted a picture of her little girl wearing a beige knitted cardigan revealing her name.
