A biography for Holly Willoughbyhasn’t been written yet.
“I love cooking and having people over and it means you don't have to get a babysitter.”
“I love being pregnant, I love giving birth, I love all that, it's like wearing a wedding dress, I don't want that all to be over.”
“For me, I had just come from kids telly, 'Dancing on Ice' was the first grown-up telly I had ever done.”
“Being a mum can be utterly overwhelming.”
“I love an elasticated waistband on holiday. I look like the before photo of a makeover. I don't care and no one can see me.”
“Being a child growing up in the 80s, my mum experimented with dressing me in quite a lot of day-glo.”
“I'd fantasised about being married since I was a little girl and dressed up in my mum's wedding dress.”
“Everybody knows what leads to a healthy lifestyle, but it's not up to me to give you a blow-by-blow account of what I've eaten that day. It's not helpful, and it's not what's important.”
“I love the dresses I wear, I think they are beautiful and until I think differently, I'll carry on.”
“Wear clothes that fit. It's the most important thing. Don't just see something you like and automatically pick up a size 12 because that's what you think you are. Try on the sizes bigger and smaller than what you expect to be, and buy what genuinely fits and feels most comfortable.”
“Loads of my jewellery was my mum's.”
“There was no other training ground like kids' telly for becoming a TV presenter.”
“You wouldn't expect it to look at him, but in a life-threatening situation you should always turn to Phillip Schofield. On a desert island he would be perfect. Phil is very practical and would build you an amazing shack as well as keep you entertained with all his hundreds of stories.”
“All my labours were very different, but that moment when you look in your child's eyes for the first time and that feeling of love wooshes into every part of your being was the same for all of them.”
“I like an eyeshadow stick because I can just wallop it on, smudge it in and you're done!”
“You can take the stress out of Christmas by trying to be as organised as you possibly can.”
“There was a time where I wouldn't go out of the house without at least putting mascara on.”
“I was an imaginative kid. My sister needed entertaining, whereas I was the one under the table playing with a bit of fluff on the carpet. I was the sort of child who would spend time rolling up balls of all different kinds of fluff and that would be my little family.”
“That's what a family is, isn't it? Making space and time for one another.”
“A good work-life balance is, for me, the most important thing - and the biggest challenge I have.”
