Fans of Holly Willoughby were left puzzled after the TV presenter didn’t make it to the Ant McPartlin wedding yesterday but did appear on BBC show Take Off.

Supporters couldn’t appear to work out how Holly was able to make it to her presenting gig with Bradley Walsh over Ant’s nuptials.

However, it turns out they may have had the wrong end of the stick, even though Holly’s absence appeared to take many by surprise.

In the post, Holly previewed the David Koma dress and Gina shoes she wore during last night’s instalment.

However, it seems some of Holly’s Insta followers may have thought the holiday gameshow airs live.

Why couldn’t Holly juggle her commitments?

One fan questioned why Holly couldn’t juggle her commitments after having “all day” to be at Ant’s do.

Insisting she “still could have gone”, others defended Holly’s “no-show”, explaining more information was needed.

One respondent said firmly: “Just leave her alone, it’s not a big deal.

She’s on holidays.

“She’s on holidays and she would have to isolate anyways so just get over it honestly.”

A second person interjected: “She may have chosen not to go for reasons we don’t know. None of our business is it?”

And another person clarified about Take Off: “This was recorded before COVID last year.”

Was Holly Willoughby at the Ant McPartlin wedding?

As the chat degenerated, another commenter noted how they believed it was Amanda Holden who was unable to attend due to her being on holiday.

However, it seems that was also the case for Holly – even though her most recent social media posts were about her Saturday job.
