Holly Willoughby shares rare photo of poorly youngest child

It's not often we see pictures of Holly's three young children

Holly Willoughby usually keeps her three young children far away from the glare of the spotlight.

So fans were surprised on Wednesday morning when the TV presenter shared a rare photo of her youngest child, Chester.

Although, keeping true to her form, This Morning’s Holly declined to show her son’s face, instead posting a close-up shot of his little hand entwined with her own hand.

Aww!

Holly, 36, told fans that Chester, three, was feeling poorly, which had meant a long night for her as she stayed up to care for him.

She wrote alongside the snap: “Downside of a little one with a cough and cold is the lack of sleep… the upside is waking up to this.”

Fans were quick to gush over the intimate mummy-son moment and share their own experiences of being up all night with an ill child.

One told her: “My little one is the same and we had this situation last night too! Let’s pray for a good night’s sleep tonight.”

Another said: “I remember those days bless, a mother’s heart is the weakest when kids are poorly.”

A third added: “Just been there done that! A lot going around. The snuggles are priceless.”

And a fourth wrote: “Hated my children been poorly but the plus side was these special moments, beautiful.”

Holly and her TV producer husband Dan Baldwin are also parents to son Harry, eight, and six-year-old daughter Belle.

So, will there ever be a baby number four?!

Chatting to Fabulous magazine last month, Holly said she and Dan hadn’t ruled out another child, but equally it wasn’t something they had decided to go for either.

She said: “When you look around the table and you’ve got these little people you’ve made together who are just so funny, that’s when you think: ‘Maybe we should have more…’

“But that’s not a reason to have more! That’s what I keep telling myself. No, no, no! I think I’m really, definitely done. I think.

“Well, I’m as certain as I can be.”

Holly certainly has her hands full with three young children and a busy career.

As well as her weekly duties on This Morning and Celebrity Juice, she’s just started work on the new series of Dancing On Ice, which she’ll co-host with BFF Phillip Schofield next year.
