Holly Willoughby was left blushing as she was questioned about the start of her relationship with her husband Dan Baldwin. The presenter was back fronting This Morning on Thursday (June 29) when Craig Doyle cheekily asked his co-star whether TV producer Dan had a chat-up line back when they met.
Holly, 42, and Craig, 52, were discussing the latest news headlines with Nicola Thorp and Nick Ferarri they turned to lighter topics, specifically "the return of the cheesy chat-up line".
It comes after a poll of single Brits found that the chat-up line is making a resurgence with youngsters being the most likely to use the old-fashioned dating ice-breaker according to insights agency Perspectus Global which carried out the research.

The group then spoke about their own experiences of how they found love, with former Coronation Street star Nicola revealing her fiance simply asked her out for dinner through a direct message on social media.
As they tested out some of the cheese chat-up lines, Holly said: "I think they've got to be funny, if you're going to do a chat-up line, if you're taking it seriously... then it's a no. But I think if you're both going to laugh with it... that is alright."
It then led to co-host Craig turning and asking her: "Can you remember Dan's first line, his opening gambit...." But a giggling Holly didn't appear to want to divulge the personal detail and replied: "I actually do... but I will not share it," before adding that it is "not for morning telly!"
As her co-stars laughed with their minds racing to guess what it could have been, a slightly red-faced Holly threw her hands up and clarified: "No, it wasn't like rude. It wasn't like really really rude but it was still... a little bit naughty..." She then quickly moved things along and moved on to the next task at hand, getting out of sharing what happened.
Holly met Dan when she hosted Ministry of Mayhem with fellow ITV star Stephen Mulhern back in 2004. Dan was one of the show's producers and he has also been behind many other top show's, using his production company Hungry Bear Media which he co-founded in 2014 with Juliet Denison.
Three years after meeting, Holly and Dan tied the knot in a star-studded ceremony at St Michael's Church on the South Downs in West Sussex and now share three children together - Harry, Belle, and Chester.
Ahead of Valentine's Day earlier this year, the blonde beauty appeared in a video on the Instagram account for her spiritual and lifestyle brand, Wylde Moon. In the clip, the mum-of-three could be seen keeping warm in a dark teddy fleece coat and beige jumper.
