HOLLY Willoughby confused This Morning fans with a cryptic Instagram post about the "start of the week".

The presenter, 39, shared a photo of two hands coming out of the covers in bed as they clasp a blue ball.

The ball is resting on the pillows, with the duvet set sporting a floral print.

Holly captioned the image: "Starting this week as I mean to go on… ✨"

However, she left fans confused with the cryptic message, with many people trying to guess what it's about.

One person asked: "Are you pregnant? Is that a size comparison of how big the baby is xxx"

Another suggested: "Armed with a juggling ball? ?"

A third asked: "Is this a world ? ball ? Got the whole world in your hands x"

Some fans seemed to have cracked it – saying Holly is holding a crystal used for meditation.

One person said: "it's a crystal, looks like labradorite or tourmaline. She's meditating."

A second added: "It's a crystal ball and she's meditating for anyone confused ?"

Holly returned to This Morning last week – and had to begin homeschooling her kids at the same time.

The 39-year-old star sparked concern after she missed the first two episodes of the ITV show of the year, with co-host Phillip Schofield revealing that it was due to "childcare issues".

Phil was also forced to explain her absence earlier in the week, saying Holly needed to spend "a couple of extra days with the family".

He added on Tuesday: "She's dealing with her childcare issues at the moment and she will be back tomorrow."

Holly is mum to 11-year-old Harry, nine-year-old Belle, and six-year-old Chester, who she shares with husband Dan Baldwin.
