As the camera cut to The Morning Show, host Larry Emdur made a hilarious quip about Liam’s baby joy. 

‘[I’m] very upset,’ he told viewers.

‘He [Liam] did say he was going to name the baby Kylie so whatever,’ Larry joked, referencing his co-host Kylie Gillies. 

In May, Sunrise said goodbye to beloved weatherman Sam Mac after he decided to take some time away from television to focus on fatherhood.

The TV regular, 42, took to Instagram to share that he will be on leave from Sunrise.

Posting a picture with his nine month old baby Mabel, the dad-of-two went on to express how excited he was to spend some quality time with his young children.

‘This guy is officially on “Dad Leave”‘ Sam, who welcomed his second child with fiancée Rebecca James last year, captioned the post.

‘So ridiculously excited to have some uninterrupted time with our darling Mabel. I did the same when Margot was a baby and have vivid memories of being there as she took her first steps.

‘Now to have more time with her as a toddler is an added bonus (albeit a slightly terrifying one)’ he added.

He went on to say that he loves his job but it can definitely take its ‘toll’, especially when missing milestone moments with his children.

‘Since becoming a Dad, saying goodbye to my girls every week gets harder and harder. So this is actually win / win / win!’ he revealed.

‘Bec is free to jump back into work full time and get a few well deserved breathers,’ he said, adding: ‘Sunrise viewers get to wake up to the wonderful Katie Brown and Mabel gets 24-7 entertainment from Daddy Mac, aka “The Temu Wiggle.”‘

He finished off the post: ‘I’m eternally grateful to our team at 7 being so supportive of new Dads and in turn, new Mums. It means the world and I’ll see you all back on Sunrise soon.’
