Taking to X, viewers were quick to question if Holly had dropped the F-bomb.
Later in the show, Holly addressed the incident and said: “Now a little bit earlier on, Stephen may have made me jump and I think it might have sounded like a naughty word slipped out.”
“But I don’t think I did, but I’m sorry if that’s what you thought you might of heard but I don’t think I did. I’ll watch it back on ITV player.”
