Holly Willoughby, 38, was joined on the ITV daytime sofa by Vanessa Feltz, 57, during a segment where they speak to viewers about issues in their lives. A caller, who went by the name of “Karen”, asked whether she was being unreasonable by offering her partner an ultimatum over their three-month-old. She said her partner had been ignoring her calls and not regularly seeing the child. The caller asked: "Am I being unreasonable in telling my partner to step up and be a dad or get out of my life? We live apart, have a three-month-old baby.

I just get on with it. Am I being unfair giving him an ultimatum?" But Vanessa insisted that she should give her partner “a chance to be a parent”. She said: “Well the baby's only three-months-old so there are dads and mums that find it very hard to bond with a new baby. "But once the child's a little bit older they really do get into much more of a relaxed gig.” She finished: “Lots of people of all sexes say 'I don't very much like new babies'. So I'd give a longer chance." Holly and co-star Phillip Schofield, 57, were seemingly left shocked after the agony guru's advice.
