The 41-year-old, who gave birth to her second son in March, tweeted a photo of her baby with the caption: “Well it’s time. See you at #abc730 tonight. Saying goodbye to this delicious little ball of fluff.”

Sarah Ferguson, who filled in for the respected presenter while she was on maternity leave, has received critical acclaim for her hard-hitting interview style on the current affairs show.
