Holly Willoughby will take her mum on the road with her during filming of Xtra Factor, according to tabloid reports.

The pregnant TV presenter is expected to give birth next month, but will not pull out of her commitments as the host of the ITV2 X Factor spinoff.

Willoughby will still appear at the auditions in June, but she is apparently taking her mother along to look after her child.

"Holly loves doing the show which offers up some extremely funny auditions," a source told The Sun.

"So she is going to bring her mum and possibly a nanny to help. We're really pleased to have her on board and hope everything goes smoothly."
