Holly Willoughby has joked Russell Brand kept her “calm” while she gave birth to daughter Belle.

Russell replied: “That is a beautiful way to bring life into the world!”

Holly cheekily quipped: “I heard your dulcet tones in my head as it was happening and I’m not sure what was more painful!”

Russell responded: “How is the child developing?”

Holly answered: “She is beautiful! She got a good start in life! You kept me very calm, it was very entertaining.”

Get Him To The Greek, released in 2010, is a spinoff to comedy movie Forgetting Sarah Marshall.

It follows the chaotic attempts of a record label employee (played by Jonah Hill) to get rock star Aldous Snow (Russell) to a concert at The Greek Theatre.

Holly and her husband Dan Baldwin have three children: Belle, six, and sons Harry, eight, and Chester, three.

The This Morning presenter has spoken about being torn whether to have a fourth child.

In an interview with ITV’s Lorraine last year, she said: “I love being pregnant. I loved giving birth, weirdly, I loved all of that. So the thought of it being over – it’s like not being able to wear a wedding dress again.

“Maybe one day, I don’t know, but we’re very happy as we are. We feel complete. Three feels good for us.

“Two children was lovely but two felt like everybody was waiting for a baby.

“Chester sort of cemented us.”

In a separate chat with The Sun’s Fabulous magazine in September, she said: “When you look around the table and you’ve got these little people you’ve made together who are just so funny, that’s when you think, ‘Maybe we should have more’.

“But that’s not a reason to have more! That’s what I keep telling myself. No, no, no! I think I’m really, definitely done. I think.

“Well, I’m as certain as I can be.”
