Holly Willoughby Is Reportedly Furious Over Her Pictures Being Used To Promote Weight Loss Pills

You've probably come across rogue internet pop-ups that claim "these pills made me lose five stone in two days!", while showing a picture of two completely different people as a before and after example.

There are also a number of other similar adverts which try to lure you in with money making schemes, getting shredded, or, on the contrary to the previously mentioned weight loss benefaction, offering to grow particular body parts.

Usually though, given the ridiculousness of the photos used to promote the products, we rarely click on them thinking we'll give them a go.

This is a prime example.

A company who sells weight loss supplements has addressed that, and has started using pictures of This Morning host Holly Willoughby, claiming their product is the reason for her recent weight loss.

Articles began circulating about ULTRApur, who offer Wild Raspberry Ketone pills, with the articles including pictures of Holly.

"Without a doubt, Holly Willoughby looks as fantastic as ever, and ULTRApur Wild Raspberry Ketone was the key," one of the blog posts said.

The presenter is reportedly furious over the use of her pictures promoting the product, which she didn't use.

A spokesman told the Mirror: "We're aware of a number of scam websites using images of Holly, along with other celebrities, to sell weight loss products and are liaising with our lawyers about possible legal action."

Sources close to Holly are insistent that the ITV host didn't use the pills, with elsewhere reporting she had the help of fitness instructor Lynne Robinson for her weight loss.

Despite being reportedly enraged, there's very little chance it'll stop her having fun on various TV shows, most likely This Morning with Phillip Schofield.

They've had plenty of them in the past, but one of their latest nudge-nudge-wink-wink moments was at the expense of Holly, as Phil tried to embarrass her by bringing up her first appearance on the show, when she said she'll never get used to saying 'vagina' on television. All seemed well, initially...

"I know what you're going to say. Yes, and I said: 'I'm not sure I'll ever get used to saying the word vagina on telly,'" grinned Holly.

After Phil asked her how she felt saying it today, she added: "Yeah, fine, just normal. Just rolls off the tongue."

On this occasion even the crew couldn't hold in their laughter, and you can hear their laughter building from behind the camera. The two presenters struggle to contain themselves, which inevitably leads to the giggles.

They wheeze their way through it, before Holly states she's 'not going there'.
