Pregnant Holly Willoughby got her dream come true on This Morning on Thursday, December 2nd when stand-in co-host Ben Shepherd arranged for her to become a dog owner for the day. Weeks ago, the 29-year-old got in an argument with regular co-host Philip Schofield when she said she’d like the show to have its own dog. Where  she was all for the idea — 48-year-old Philip was not — calling it “impractical.”

But today Holly’s wish came true when she was joined by 9-week old labrador Dougal — a puppy she fell in love with from a picture that was sent in by a viewer.

She was so excited to see the pup that she soon became filled with emotion saying:

‘This is so amazing, I think I’m actually going to cry! I know I can’t keep him forever – but it’s the best ever ‘show present’ I’ve ever had.
