Holly Willoughby suffers unfortunate 'predictive text' blunder in Instagram post

Holly Willoughby was caught out by her own phone as she tried to correct a mistake in one of her latest Instagram posts. The This Morning host took to the social media platform as usual before Tuesday's show to share a look at her outfit.

The TV star looked like she was hoping for continued brighter weather as she donned a floral mini-dress, showcasing her long tanned legs, with three-quarter length sleeve detail. She toned down the busy, but beautiful, look with a pair of nude court heels and kept her make-up light and simple.

As usual, she shared the snap of herself posing backstage at the ITV studio alongside a little teaser of what was to come on the ITV daytime show she hosts alongside Phillip Schofield - but she suffered an error.

The 41-year-old wrote: "Morning Tuesday… great line up today, (we) talk to Michael Bible and from what I hear it’s fantastic ... see you on @thismorning at 10am… #hwstyle @nobodyschild," and people were quickly pointing out she had got Michael's name wrong, writing 'bible' instead of 'Buble'.

"Love Michael Bible," @ klaskey1 laughed. @rhea.ku said: "Good old michael bible lol."

"'Michael Bible'…. Autocorrect at its best," @no1carrasco commented.

@nicdobson85 echoed: "Michael Bible good old autocorrect at its finest." "Holy moly Micheal ‘son of a preacher man’ Bible bloomin predictive text," @reflexfootcare added.

As she tried to correct her error, things only for worse - and a bit more x-rated. Writing in the comments, the mum-of-three said; " Bloody predicative t**s! Buble not Bible."

But fans were once again laughing at her 'hilarious' predictive text blunder after she managed to correct her original mistake in the photo's caption.

"Must be a word often used on your phone," @ deanos82 joked. @jo.rance said: "@hollywilloughby predicative t**s! Hilarious!"

Michael Buble was on the ITV show on Tuesday (ITV)

Holly was, of course, trying to talk about Canadian singer Michael Buble who appeared in the ITV studio to chat to Phillip and Alison Hammond while Holly was off work after testing positive for coronavirus.

The pre-recorded interview aired on Tuesday's show and saw them chat about everything from Michael's new album, Higher, to his family life after he and his wife announced they were expecting their fourth child.

It also saw all three of them then entered into a joint rendition of Nat King Cole’s L-O-V-E with Phillip kicking it all off. But it ended up being Michael who made a blunder during the track, forgetting how to spell 'LOVE' and Phil having to help him out before he picked the lyrics back up a few seconds later.
