'So, my partner Ricky tells everybody and so does his family, so does my family. Everybody tells everybody so it doesn't matter where I go, everybody knows.'
On how she got the job, Jess explained: 'I was being weighed at the hospital. Apparently, I was a crybaby at the time.
'The only way my mum could settle me was to take me to the hospital for the midwives, and that was the furthest point in the village, so that's where she took me. And the producer had been in the same day and asked to forward any baby names.
'So, that's what happened and I believe it was a mini audition and then, yeah, got the part.'
Hosts Josie Gibson and Craig Doyle then asked if Poppy might take on the gig for the upcoming reboot.
She replied: 'We'd absolutely go for it. Absolutely. It would be so nice to see her on my role from when I was little. Just to take over my legacy.'
Viewers couldn't believe that Jess now had a baby of her own, with one penning: 'The sun baby is all grown up and has a baby of her own. I feel ancient';
'The baby had a baby now I feel old';
'You can't tell that woman was the Tellytubby baby at all'

She welcomed her first child in mid-January, though she didn't mention the baby's name or gender in her Instagram post.
Just days later, she shared that her child is a daughter, named Poppy Rae Latham, with the middle name a possible nod to a 'ray' of sunshine from her Sun Baby role.
'Family day out visiting nanny, Ollie and Arlo,' Smith captioned the snap of her, Latham and their daughter.
Smith announced she was expecting back in October, when she shared an image of her sonogram.
'When two becomes three,' she captioned the post, where she tagged her longtime boyfriend Ricky Latham.
Then on January 15 she shared a snap of her baby Poppy's hand wrapped around her finger, which she captioned, 'One whole week of you,' indicating the child was born January 8.
She shared another snap on January 20 of Latham carrying their child in a car seat, which she captioned, ' 12 days in our lives, 7 days at home, 2 very lucky parents. Please welcome Poppy Rae Latham.'
Smith shared another snap of her and her daughter in mid-February, which she captioned, 'Mummy and baby cuddles. 'Smile and Be Kind.' Does anyone else just lose hours of their day with baby cuddles?'
A few days later she share another snap of her and Ricky, who was holding the seemingly-sleeping child, captioned, 'My little family.'

Smith was just nine months old when she became the Sun Baby, revealing in a BBC interview that it happened by chance.
'I was being weighed at the hospital. My mum took me and it just happened to be the same time that the producer of the old series had come in and wanted the hospital to get in contact with them if they'd seen any smiley babies,' she said.
She revealed her father would sit behind the cameras playing toys and cars to make her do her famous giggle heard on the show.
It wasn't until 2015 that she revealed her identity after previously preferring to keep it a secret.
'I used to hide it but after a lot of encouragement from my friends at university, I've gained the confidence to come out with it,' she said.
'I am the sun from the Teletubbies. Everyone says they can see the likeness between my face now and me as a baby. I still have a baby face. I haven't changed much either. I am still giggly,' she admitted.
