Harry Styles stepped in to cover James Corden on The Late Late Show at the last minute.
The talk show host was unable to host the show after his wife, Julia Corden, went into labour before giving birth to their daughter. Styles took the reins instead with apparently only 2 and a half hours notice. He addressed the situation in his monologue, saying:
“No, your eyes do not deceive you – I am not James Corden. I am Harry Styles. You may be wondering why I’m hosting tonight – and, yes, you are right: Donald Trump finally got sick of James’ jokes and deported him back to England.
I am of course kidding. Just half an hour ago, James and his wife Jules had a beautiful baby girl. In fact, I was at the hospital just before coming over here, and she looks a lot like James – mainly because James looks like a giant baby.”
Corden later tweeted his joy at becoming a father for the third time and thanking Styles for stepping in.
Today we welcomed a beautiful baby daughter into the world. Both she and her mother are doing great. We can’t stop smiling. Thank you Harry for stepping in to host the show at 2 and a half hours notice! x x x
