What has Holly Willoughby said about her husband Dan ‘angering’ her?

Holly wrote about TV producer Dan’s complaints: “If I’m watching something on TV and my husband suddenly asks: ‘Why are you watching this [blank]?’, it’ll spark something deep inside and I will get disproportionately angry about it.

“But actually I’m angry because I subconsciously feel as though someone’s trying to control what I’m doing.

“My husband absolutely isn’t trying to control me, but I’m getting a really strong reaction, so maybe I’m worried about control in my life.

“Maybe that’s a sign that I still need to address the issue of control.”

Dan urges Holly to ‘back away’ from hobby

It was also recently reported that Holly was encouraged to give meditation a rest after it wound her up.

She explained on Virgin Radio last Friday (November 5) that the spiritual practice helped her explore strong emotions.

The mum-of-three said: “I love anger… I never used to. Once I started to look into it I thought I’m not sure this is going to work because I began to feel angry.

I subconsciously feel as though someone’s trying to control what I’m doing.

“My husband was like: ‘You need to back away from the meditation because you’re one angry woman!’

“I was experiencing strong emotions, instead of being in this middle ground. I was feeling strong emotions for the first time.”

Holly continued: “It was a really powerful way to find out what was behind my feelings. Anger can pull you forward.”
