HOLLY Willoughby is off sick with a bug after she missed This Morning for a second straight day - despite fans being convinced she was pregnant.

Holly had sparked rumours after pulling out of Monday's show because she was feeling ill and "threw up on her cat", but the TV presenter is actually just off with a stomach bug - and her whole family have it too.

Phillip Schofield explained on This Morning: "Holly was texting this morning to say there is a bug in the Willoughby-Baldwin household.

"It's gone round once and apparently it's going round again and now Belle's got it back again.

He added: "So poor Holly is not well and having to cope with poorly children as well so it's all gone horribly wrong."

Fans had taken to Twitter to speculate whether Holly's absence was due to another pregnancy as one tweeted: "I am convinced Holly Willoughby is pregnant."

Another added: "#thismorning yes Holly has the vomiting bug... OTHERWISE KNOWN AS MORNING SICKNESS???"

A source confirmed to The Sun Online: “Holly is still unwell. It’s just a sickness bug and today’s show will be hosted by Phillip and Sarah.”

Tuesday’s show was presented by Phillip and Sarah Greene, as they reunited following their fame together on Going Live!

Sarah previously hosted Going Live! with Phil 24 years ago, and they reunited for the first time on TV on This Morning last week.

Mum-of-three Holly first pulled out of work yesterday after calling in sick with a bug and was replaced by Rylan Clark-Neal.

Phillip announced the news that Holly was sick and told This Morning viewers: “Holly’s not very well today so I’ve been given the most unlikely partner. I can’t wait for this.”

He later added: “Get well soon. She text me this morning and said she got up and threw up all over the cat.”
