During a recent episode of Good Morning Britain (May 6), host Richard Arnold was quick to offer his congratulations to guest Sam Battle, known as Look Mum No Computer, on the birth of his son. The musician, who is set to represent the United Kingdom at the Eurovision Song Contest, appeared on the show to discuss his upcoming performance but soon found himself celebrating his new role as a father.
New Dad Joins the Show
Sam Battle, better known by his stage name Look Mum No Computer, appeared on Wednesday's Good Morning Britain to speak with presenters Ed Balls, Kate Garraway, and Richard Arnold. As the conversation turned to his personal life, Richard was quick to mention the musician's recent fatherhood. "Congratulations because you're a dad very recently!" Richard exclaimed. Sam replied, "Yeah, I know! Just over three weeks." Ed and Richard both corrected him, noting it was four weeks, while Kate added, "You're in that first month blur, we can forgive you for that, it all blurs into day and night."
Baby News on Instagram
The singer had announced the arrival of his son Max on Instagram at the beginning of April, sharing a photo of the newborn wrapped in a blanket and wearing a yellow hat. His caption read: "Speak soon, everyone. Max born today, happy healthy. Back on it soon. Take care." The post was met with an outpouring of congratulations from fans and followers. One commenter wrote: "Congratulations, Sam and fam." Another said: "Aww Max!!!!! Congratulations guys." A third added: "OMG!!! He's beautiful! Congratulations xxx" while another shared: "Congratulations from the UK Eurovision fan club."
Eurovision Hopes
Sam Battle will be representing the UK at this year's Eurovision Song Contest, performing his song Eins, Zwei, Drei. BBC viewers will watch him take the stage next week in hopes of securing a win for the nation. During his Good Morning Britain appearance, Sam teased that the staging would be memorable, hinting at a risky move. "I can't give away too much, but there's an element of risk that's a bit risky, and if I miss the points, then I might have very bruised shins," he said. When Ed asked if there was any gymnastics involved, Sam hinted at some movement, adding: "I've got two left feet, but they've trained my feet to be a little bit less left-footed, but not too much dancing!"
Good Morning Britain airs on ITVX, and the first Eurovision Song Contest semi-final will be broadcast on Tuesday, May 12 at 8pm on BBC One.
