Holly Willoughby gave fans a rare insight into the saucy repartee that sparked her initial romance with husband Dan Baldwin as she co-hosted the latest edition of This Morning. 

The presenter originally dated TV producer Baldwin while working on chaotic Saturday morning children’s show Ministry Of Mayhem, before exchanging vows in 2007.

Now parents to children Harry, Belle and Chester, the couple maintain a low profile away from work, but Holly, 42, hinted at the flirty banter that originally sparked her interest in Baldwin while presenting Thursday’s show alongside Craig Doyle.

Co-hosting a debate about the return of cheesy chat-up lines, Doyle gamely asked if Holly remembered Baldwin’s first romantic endeavours.

‘I actually do, but it’s not for morning telly,’ she admitted as guests Nick Ferrari and Nicola Thorp burst into fits of laughter.

She added: ‘It wasn’t really rude, but it was a little bit naughty, so not for morning telly.’

The admission comes after Holly struggled to protect her modesty on Wednesday as she took part in a fitness segment.

The presenter was perhaps inappropriately attired in a green floral dress and heels as she joined Doyle and fitness influencer Shakira Akabusi for the exercise session in which they tried out the 3-2-8 fitness trend.

As Shakira put the pair through their paces, Holly was forced to sit out of some moves as it showed too much flesh, with the star seen covering her chest with her hand.

But the star was less successful at covering up when they came to doing glute bridges, with Craig, 52, seeing more than he bargained for as he remarked: ‘I can’t unsee that!’

The trio started off well, with Holly and Craig successfully doing knee-to-standing and reverse lunge moves.

However, when it came to doing a modified plank into a press-up, Holly began to have difficult as she moaned ‘Oh God!’ while using her hand to cover herself.

Kneeling over, she then ruled herself out of the move as she declared ‘I might not be able to do that one! Just suddenly realised, I’ll watch this one, I’ll spectate!’

Shakira then guided the trio into their next move which involved them lying on their backs with one foot on a block, with Holly then ruling herself out of this exercise too.

But Craig then suggested she could do the exercise facing away from the camera and facing the way instead.

As they were instructed to then lift one leg into the air, Holly squealed and gripped onto her skirt, as Craig, lying opposite her, quipped: ‘I can’t look to my left right now!’

The group then got up from the move with Craig then noting, ‘I can’t unsee that!’ as a red-faced Holly giggled: ‘Sorry, I apologise!’
