Holly Willoughby was left more than a little red-faced on Wednesday’s edition of This Morning, when the doting mum accidentally revealed when her son Chester was conceived in a hilarious on air blunder.
The candid confession came when the 42 year old star was taking part in a conversation about more babies being born on 27 September than at any other day in the calendar, largely due to parents having made the most of the long Winter months by getting intimate.
During the segment, Matthew Wright explained: “You have the combination of Christmas and the cold. My dad used to say the best thing you can do in the winter is cuddle up and you always get more babies in the autumn.”
To which Holly quickly commented: “It’s actually Chester’s birthday on Friday.”
As the studio erupted with laughter, Holly cheekily defended her comment as she added: “The heating hadn’t gone on that winter.”
Her co-host this week, Ben Shephard then weighed in as he added: “Happy Birthday to Chester. He’ll be thrilled we are talking about Christmas…”
Before Matthew chimed in: “Is there any truth to it?”
Leaving a red-faced Holly to blush profusely as she replied: “I couldn’t possibly say.”
The admission comes just two days before Chester’s ninth birthday on Friday, with the youngster being the youngest of Holly’s three children with husband Dan Baldwin.
In addition to Chester, Holly and Dan are also the proud parents to Harry, 13, and Belle, 11 – although all three of the star’s children are often kept out of the limelight to preserve their privacy.
In an interview with The One Show, Holly previously opened up about the struggle of juggling parenthood with her busy work schedule as she admitted she suffered from a lot of “mum guilt” at not spending enough time with her growing children.
“I feel guilty about everything." she said "It's totally normal. But what I would say is – and this is what I really have to focus on – where's the guilt coming from?
“Because I think the problem with working mums is that I'm feeling guilty because I'm not there to drop my kids off in the morning because I have to go to work."
Holly then continued: "What I'm feeling guilty about, is that in some way I'm telling myself that I clearly don't love my kids because I love my career more than my children, which is why I'm choosing to do this.
"And of course, that's not the case. I know that's not the case because I know I love my kids more than anything on this planet.
"So why am I thinking like that? And it's because I believe that's what everyone else is thinking."
