Holly then confessed to feeling guilty about this.

“I feel guilty about everything. It’s totally normal. But what I would say is – and this is what I really have to focus on – where’s the guilt coming from?”

‘I love my kids more than anything on this planet’

She continued: “Because I think the problem with working mums is that I’m feeling guilty because I’m not there to drop my kids off in the morning, because I have to go to work.

“What I’m feeling guilty about, is that in some way I’m telling myself that I clearly don’t love my kids because I love my career more than my children, which is why I’m choosing to do this.”

Holly then said that this was absolutely not the case.

“I know I love my kids more than anything on this planet. So why am I thinking like that? And it’s because I believe that’s what everyone else is thinking.

“You just have to re-evaluate whose opinions you’re living by. Are they yours or someone else’s?”

What else is taking up Holly’s time?

One of Holly’s extra-curricular business interests on top of her TV work has been launching her new wellness book.

Launching Reflections, she took to TikTok and shocked fans with a new look.
