This Morning guest appears to lets slip that Holly Willoughby is pregnant live on TV

A guest on This Morning appeared to accidentally lets slip that Holly Willoughby is pregnant live on television.

During today’s morning episode of the daily show, co-hosts Holly, 37, and Phillip Schofield, 56, were busy smashing up unicorn pinatas during an arts and crafts segment with Sophie Prescott.

As Holly was bashing away at the unicorn, much to everyone in the studio’s delight, Sophie appeared to say something that sounded a lot like: ‘Don’t mess with a pregnant woman!’

Sharp viewers at home couldn’t quite believe what they’d just heard, so were hitting their rewind buttons to get to the bottom of it.

Naturally, they then took to Twitter to see if they’d really heard what they thought they had – and it turns out that a lot of people were thinking the same thing.

But some people then came to the aid of those who were shocked by the alleged reveal to suggest a different turn of events.

In truth, it might appear a bit strange that Sophie would know about any such pregnancy in the first place – especially if Holly were keeping it under wraps, so to speak.

The blonde presenter has been married to Dan Baldwin for a decade, with the pair having three children together – Harry, 9, Belle, 7, and Chester, 3.

Catch This Morning weekdays, from 10.30am, on ITV1.
