Among the songs on the list was Guy Sebastian’s 2003 hit Angels Brought Me Here.
Guy himself called into the show to send his well wishes, revealing that he had been informed of the birth after an unknown man stopped him in the street to share the news.
Baby Otto’s uncle Chris Sandilands also called into the show to share his joy.

‘This child was born in luxury. What a small fortune! he joked.
