Holly Willougby has revealed that she will be back on set for this summer’s Xtra Factor show, even if it means taking her new baby on set.

Holly is due to give birth to her first child this May and rumours had been circulating that she was planning to leave the X Factor spinoff show.

Holly said: “I am going back to do all of X Factor. I’ll be bringing the baby with me wherever I go. There aren’t that many female TV presenters out there, so I can understand why there would be speculation about someone taking over the role. But I’ll be going back. I really love the show.

“It’s two days here, two days there, so there are breaks. My mum will be coming to help, and Dan’s mum.”

The Dancing On Ice co-host also revealed she is biased towards finalist Ray Quinn.

She confessed: “It’s really unprofessional of me to say, but I do think Ray. He’s so good, and he’s never set foot on the ice before – people think he must have, but he really hasn’t. He works so hard.

“But then again, Jessica (Taylor) is great as well and Donal (MacIntyre) is just fabulous, so who knows?”

Holly was launching her Holly Willoughby Maternity collection in collaboration with Littlewoods Direct at London’s Claridges hotel.
