PHILLIP Schofield and Holly Willoughby have questioned why The One Show didn't quiz Cheryl about ongoing pregnancy rumours.
Former X Factor judge Cheryl appeared on the BBC show in an elegant black outfit, but failed to address ongoing speculation she's expecting a baby with Liam Payne.
Now, while discussing the appearance, ITV's This Morning host Phil admitted today that he can be "naughty" sometimes on air, and ask questions he shouldn't.
Phillip said: "The surprising thing was that she wasn't asked. And we know from our job here, every so often someone comes in, and I'm not saying that's the case here, and says under no circumstances can you ask be about whatever," he admitted.
"But that leads me to wonder why they might have said that... Normally we will do as we're told, but sometimes we are naughty."
As Holly replied: "She might not even be pregnant."
Phillip added: "They are very good on that show, so they must have been told not to ask.
"I'm not sure I understand the intricacies of it all, but maybe she's enjoying the intricacies of it all. Maybe she's just enjoying the fun surrounding it all."
Her appearance in the studio was her first televised interview in months after keeping a low profile amid the pregnancy rumours, even missing the Pride Of Britain Awards on Monday night.
Speaking about the charity, she said: “Kids just don’t have the courage to talk to someone.
“I was just a general worrier, it’s in my nature, I would worry about the world, I’d worry sick if I saw something on the news. I was quite a depressed teenager to be honest, I didn’t enjoy them at all. Worried about exams, everything. I worried I was going to be failure.”
Cheryl was appeared on the sofa alongside Olympic champion Sir Chris Hoy and Dame Esther Rantzen DBE, who launched the charity in 1986.
She added that she could “completely relate to how [the children] are feeling”: “Newcastle is my heart, it’s where I’m from. I want to help young people, the next generation, to have hope, have opportunity. I have a centre that is going to help 4000 people per year.”
The singer said: “It breaks my heart to think that you’re in that much pain that you turn to harming yourself as a release. It’s a massive, massive problem.”
