Holly – who rarely shares pictures of her children on social media – is also mum to daughter Belle, seven, and three-year-old son Chester with TV producer husband Dan Baldwin.
Prior to the game, Holly had shared a throwback photo of her with England’s captain Harry Kane, saying: “Thinking of this man and his teammates…. weight of a nation on his shoulders… come on boys… you got this! #england #itscominghome.”
Thursday’s episode of This Morning opened with a dejected Holly flicking through newspapers, all of which had headlines about the game.
Her co-host Phillip Schofield said he was “devastated” but very proud of the team.
Holly said: “I was watching it with my nine-year-old son and his best friend. They were watching the TV and I didn’t anticipate how bad it would get at the end.
“I had two little boys in tears last night. They had to go out to the garden and walk it off. It was their first World Cup and one they will never forget.”
