Laura Whitmore and Iain Stirling recently became parents as they welcomed their first child - a daughter - to the world.

Laura and Iain also haven’t announced what they have chosen to name their baby girl - but fans thought Laura’s Celeb Juice co-star Keith Lemon might have let it slip during an appearance on This Morning this week. Keith said on the show:

We've got lovely Laura Whitmore as well who's at home watching this with her child. So hello to Emily and Laura!

Did Keith Lemon reveal Laura Whitmore’s baby name?

This understandably got lots of fans thinking Emily was the name of Laura’s little girl. One fan tweeted:

Did @lemontwittor just announce @thewhitmore’s baby’s name on @thismorning? #Emily #thismorning.

However, another jumped in to suggest he was probably referring toEmily Atack.

Laura herself then jumped in to confirm, saying:

Ha ha yes he was! [crying laughing emoji] Emily and I are team captains. It’s a gorgeous name but would get confusing x.

So at least we know for certain that Laura and Iain’s little girl is NOT called Emily! Ultimately, it’s up to Laura and Iain if and when they choose to share their daughter’s name with the world.
