This Morning viewers in a frenzy as expert appears to hint Holly Willoughby is pregnant weeks after Trinny Woodall’s on-air gaffe

Journalist Simon Calder's choice of words while discussing the Zika virus caused viewers to speculate
Speculation that Holly Willoughby is pregnant continues to grow after travel expert Simon Calder failed to mention her while answering a question on the Zika virus.
When a viewer called the show asking for advice on tropical destinations that are free of the virus, Simon began by explaining that non-pregnant people shouldn't worry about the illness.
He said: "Zika is a nasty, mosquito-born disease. For people like me and Phillip it doesn't matter at all – we might feel lousy for a few days.
"But anyone who is pregnant or thinking of becoming pregnant it can be quite serious."
Some viewers took his omission of Holly's name to signify that the 36-year-old is in fact expecting a fourth baby.
Taking to Twitter, one wrote: "#ThisMorning @thismorning 'me and Phil are okay, but people who are pregnant or trying' Holly? 🙈😂"
While another posted: "Didn't include Holly in his comment about Zika but said it affects people who are pregnant or thinking of getting pregnant #ThisMorning"
SunOnline has contacted a representative for Holly for comment.
Last month, viewers suggested Holly was pregnant after she refused to eat cheese during the show, however, the star insisted it was because she didn't want to eat "mouldy food" in the morning.
And on another occasion, fashion expert Trinny Woodall appeared to catch Holly off guard when presenting a heavily pregnant woman during her segment.
She said: "Because Lucy has a very similar shape to me, she has a long body, and when you do, your bump doesn't show so quickly."
Addressing Holly, she added: "Your bump might show quickly because you have very long legs."
The host looked momentarily flustered before Phillip Schofield led the conversation in another direction.
Holly already has Harry, seven, Belle, five and Chester, two, with husband Dan Baldwin.
