Mum guilt
Earlier this month, Holly admitted she was “riddled with guilt” at missing school drop-offs to present This Morning.
She told Red magazine: “Becoming a mum was the only thing I knew I definitely wanted when I was growing up, but the image I had never involved me being a working mum. That’s the biggest challenge.
“I’ve been riddled with guilt about getting that part wrong. You love them so much and you don’t want to mess them up.”
She added: “I didn’t do the drop-off because I was working.
“I hate that I wasn’t there because those memories you can’t get back.”

Meanwhile, the presenter also recently said she’s was having an “important conversation” with her kids about racism following the murder of George Floyd.
She shared a poem which read: “We need to end racism. Start by healing it in your own family… start by having the first conversation at your own kitchen table.”
Holly said: “For me it’s the responsibility I have as a parent that my children understand the importance of these words said so poignantly by @cleowade.

“I know they do already, however these are important conversations to have. Conversations that can never be had and emphasised enough.”
Earlier this year, Holly quit her role on ITV2’s Celebrity Juice to spend more time with her family.
After 12 years of being a Team Captain, she decided to step away.
