Davina McCall has hit back at critics of her new show.

The sexy presenter, whose new BBC show 'He's Having A Baby' has suffered in a ratings war against ITV1's 'The X-Factor', has defended the programme and urged more viewers to tune in.

She told Britain's Heat magazine: "I am 100 per cent behind it. If anybody hasn't watched it, which I think is quite a lot of you, you should give it a go because it's a very good show."

Davina blames the poor viewing figures on the fact that the show was going head to head with the second series of 'The X Factor', which sees Simon Cowell, Sharon Osbourne and Louis Walsh hunt for new pop talent.

She explained: "None of us knew we were going to be up against 'The X Factor'. It was the worst slot."

'He's Having A Baby' has now been moved to an earlier time slot on Saturday nights in a bid to improve the ratings.
