Holly's slow burn for hubby

PREGNANT HOLLY WILLOUGHBY has confessed she didn't fancy her husband until long after their first meeting.

The gorgeous X Factor host worked on kid's show Ministry of Mayhem for three months before she fell for DAN BALDWIN, who produced the programme.

But 27-year-old Holly revealed: "Neither of us thought about each other like that at all.

"We were just really good friends and then suddenly I just thought 'Oh, my God! I think I actually fancy Dan.

"This is weird, it's Dan. He's my friend.' It was definitely a bit of a slow burn."

Last month, Holly confirmed that she is expecting her first child with Baldwin.

But judges SIMON COWELL and LOUIS WALSH let the cat out of the bag early by blurting out she was pregnant live on the show.

Her jaw dropped as Simon said: "Congratulations to you." Cheeky Louis added: "On the pregnancy."

Holly stuttered back: "I'm feeling emotional already tonight, let's move on."

Husband Dan is also a boss of the company that makes the X Factor.

But later she calmed down and joked with pop star Will Young on ITV2: "I can't have a beer, I'm pregnant!"

She added: "Dan and I are both over the moon about the news and I am hugely excited about next year."
