Recently, the TV presenter made an accidental risqué confession on an episode of This Morning, leaving her mortified.
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.
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.”
