The ITV show didn't get off to the best of starts for Holly yesterday as she faced disagreement from her own presenting team after she previewed the female hurdles race.
Holly thought it was "unfair" that hurdles aren't made smaller for shorter athletes competing in hurdle races, so she asked why athletics authorities don't change their format.
Unfortunately for Holly, former athletics champion Denise didn't agree with her co-star.
Denise is a former track and field athlete who specialised in the heptathlon, which involves the 100m hurdles.
The iconic athlete bagged gold at the 2000 Sydney Olympics, won two World Championships and became the 1998 European Champion.
Holly admitted she wasn't best qualified to comment, but it didn't stop her from airing her views to Denise and her co-host Freddie Flintoff.

She said: "It's fair to say I'm not a sporting expert in any way, shape or form, but I was watching them do the hurdles earlier and it's slightly unfair. If you are taller, right?"
She went on: "Is it fair? Do you think people that are shorter should have shorter hurdles? Because they do it in horse racing with weights. They do it in boxing, they have different things..."
