Strictly Come Dancing fans have urged bosses to give Will Best a week of paternity leave after welcoming his first child at the weekend.
The presenter, 41, returned to rehearsals alongside his professional partner Diane Buswell just days after his fiancée Tobi Rose gave birth to their son Sonny on Sunday.
Will, who got engaged to Tobi in 2024, admitted on Wednesday that he 'hasn't slept in days'.
Yet it appears his work life is not slowing down anytime soon as he jumped back into practice ahead of Saturday's live show.
Will also presents the weekly live Big Brother eviction every Friday alongside AJ Odudu.
Strictly fans have demanded Will to have a small break away from work to settle into life with a newborn.

Users penned in the comments: 'Give him a break to get to know his little one and be there for Mama,'
'I'm ten months postpartum and this whole thing is giving me the ick. Give him the week off and a bye to next week. It's not that deep,'
'Please give Will and his wife and baby some paternity leave!!!!' 'Good grief give the guy a week off and a bye to next week,'
'He should definitely be given a weeks grace after Saturdays show to be at home,'
'Surely they can give him a week off to be with his child. Ridiculous'.
Speaking about his newborn son during rehearsals, Will said: 'My beautiful fiancée and I have got a baby now.
'Sunday morning he arrived and he's amazing. Tobs is doing well, it's the most surreal, wonderful thing. I haven't slept for a couple of days'.
His partner Diane said: 'No sleep and a Jive... we just have to do it don't we? We just have to crack on.'

Will turned to Diane: 'Well, you're also incredibly tired so together we are just functioning.'
Diane added: 'We're trying to just crack on and do it. We're trying to condense everything down but still put on a show.'
'And listen, he's arrived on Icons Week, what does that make him? An Icon.' Will laughed.
Will kept the pregnancy announcement low-key as he shared a casual photo of Tobi and her baby bump in a photo dump on Instagram last month.
The Big Brother presenter looked happier than ever as Will placed a loving hand on stylist Tobi's bare bump. He wrote: 'Baby, Will?!'
Another photo showed Tobi helping Will with his suit as he placed a hand on her bump and a third snap showed an adorable pair of baby shoes.
Will got engaged to his girlfriend of over a decade, Tobi Rose, in July 2024.
The presenter whisked Tobi off to Tuscany in Italy for a romantic holiday before getting down on one knee to pop the question.
In March 2023, Will shared a snap of Tobi – where he gushed over her for their 12th anniversary and posted a screenshot of her commenting that she would 'never leave' him.
The couple, who got engaged in 2024, gushed that they are so 'lucky' and 'tired' and revealed their baby boy's name
He wrote: '12 years ago today I met this truly one in a 7.88 billion human being. She was even my first ever insta post.
'And if you scroll right you’ll see that, as well as being the love of my life, she's also frighteningly true to her word. ❤️.'
Will's first TV job was on music channel Viva, where he fronted chat show Suck My Pop and the MTV Top 20 chart show.
Between 2011 and 2012, Will had a spot on T4 – a weekend segment between morning shows on Channel 4 with Dermot O'Leary, Vernon Kay and Jameela Jamil before being axed.
Remaining with Channel 4 for another year, he went on to present the iTunes festival, The Crush and Love Shaft on the network's various channels.
But his primetime break came on ITV in 2017 when he presented the talent show Dance Dance Dance with Britain's Got Talent's Alesha Dixon. The show was not recommissioned for a second series.
Will was also a regular contributor to Big Brother's Bit On The Side from 2013 to 2014 before going on to host the new series with AJ Odudu.
Will and AJ were announced as the show's new double-act in April 2023, following in the footsteps of Davina McCall and Emma Willis.
