Holly Willoughby was left mortified by her accidental confession live on TV.
Hosting ITV’s This Morning with Ben Shephard, they were chatting to journalist Matthew Wright and Vanessa Feltz about babies.

In the UK, 26 September is National Baby Day as more babies are born on average on this date than any other day of the year.
And it doesn’t take too much of a fool to work out why.
This rise in births is typically due to parents getting more intimate over the Christmas and New Year period.
But host Holly gave a cheeky confession, which left her a little red faced.
The TV star shares three children with her husband Dan Baldwin: Harry, 14, Belle, 12, and Chester, eight.
Matthew began discussing the baby topic as he said: “You have the combination of Christmas and the cold. My dad used to say the best thing you could do in the winter was cuddle up but you always get more babies in the autumn.”
Holly then added: “It’s actually Chester’s birthday on Friday,” as the group burst into laughter.
Ben joked: “It struck you as we were talking about this didn’t it?”
The star even quipped: “The heating hadn’t gone on that week.”
They all laughed as Vanessa gave a quick ‘merry Christmas’ and Ben said that Chester would be ‘thrilled’ they were talking about that.
Holly looked a little cringed as she giggled off the confession.
This was the first time Ben has hosted This Morning in six years as he usually appears on Good Morning Britain.
Since Phillip Schofield exited the show earlier this year, Holly has been joined by a range of stand-in hosts including Friday favourites Alison Hammond and Dermot O’Leary.
But viewers reckon Ben is the perfect fit, as they gush over him on X during his appearances.
One asked: “Love Ben Shephard as presenter please can he stay on a permanent role??”
Others said the combination is ‘100% percent’ and say they ‘hope he’s for keeps’.
Another wrote: "Loving Ben Shepperd on #ThisMorning works well with Holly."
Starting off the show, Ben said: “What a lovely treat Holly, thank you for inviting me. I’m on my best behaviour.”
And although Holly told him not to be ‘too well behaved’, he added: “They've [the bosses] told me I've got to behave, I've got to tidy up after myself and make sure I leave the place clean and tidy.”
