Holly Willoughby has opened up about the scariest incident in her life and it’s quite disturbing.
The TV personality, 41, and her co-host Philip Schofield are regularly joined on This Morning by money experts who warn of scammers trying to extort money from people.
And, during Monday’s episode of the show, the blonde beauty teased that she was almost tricked into giving out her bank details by a text scammer.
The presenter recalled the terrifying incident, admitting that it was only when she clicked through and was asked for her bank details that she realized it was a scam.
During a segment on text messages from the scandal, Holly told viewers: ‘We talk about it every so often and I did the other day.
‘It was a text about a delivery that needed to be re-delivered. And I thought, “Oh yeah, I probably need to pay delivery again.”
‘It was only when I clicked and saw you had to enter your bank details and I thought, ‘Oh my God, don’t do that’ and deleted it. We talk about it all the time though.’
Phillip added that Holly had taken ‘a long time’ to fill in the information requested by the fraudsters, before realizing the truth, to which she admitted: ‘I did, I did, I did. did.’
Asked what made her believe it was a scam, Holly replied: ‘When I saw the bank details I thought, “Oh right, I’ve got it”. .
Holly’s admission comes after Strictly star Helen Skelton revealed how she lost her £70k life savings in an internet banking scam.
