Holly Willoughby branded an 'incredible mum' as she shares unaired moment with children at ITV This Morning

Holly Willoughby has been told she is an 'incredible mum' after being seen in a rare moment with her children. The This Morning star is fiercely private when it comes to her family life with very little known about her life away from the camera.

The 42-year-old also doesn't share photos with her children, who she shares with her husband Dan Baldwin, on social media or when she does, she never shows her children's faces. and has previously explained the reason why.

Previously sharing why on an episode of This Morning last year, Holly said: "I choose not to put my children’s faces on Instagram, because I know once they’re out there, they’re for public consumption." And sticking to her rules, the mum-of-three took to her social media page on Friday (March 31) to share a sweet moment she shared with Harry, Belle and Chester on her last day on This Morning for weeks.

"Favourite interview of the week…" Holly penned to her millions of followers alongside a photo showing her sat on the famous ITV daytime sofa on Thursday (March 30) with three very special guests alongside her. "The kids popped into @thismorning as they have broken up from school, Soooo lovely having them there. They have grown so much since the last time they were here," she went on.

The blonde beauty added: "So that’s me for two weeks… I’m off to be with them and see if I can break the record for the most chocolate eggs consumed in 24 hours… wish me luck!

And fans were rushing to comment. @dotties.journey said: "This is so lovely. Have the most amazing Easter making memories." @stephanieh_21 commented: "That smile just shows how incredible of a Mum you are… they’re lucky kids. Hope you have the best time off."

@steviegadsby posted: "Awww this is so lovely! Enjoy your Easter." @hoblouise replied: "Precious! Enjoy your break & Easter eggs xx." @debra.frost shared: "Love this. Have a fabulous break." @emmabradburn added: "Have a lovely Easter. What a lovely photo."

It comes after This Morning viewers flooded the show with praise as they made a fresh observation about Holly. The presenter was left flying solo by her usual co-host on the ITV daytime show Phillip Schofield before she was kept company by Alison Hammond. The latest week's worth of shows was kicked off with the female duo before a new yet familiar face stepped in.

Joel Dommett was welcomed to the programme on Wednesday and Thursday as he made his This Morning presenting debut after being a guest on the famous sofa on multiple occasions. And with Joel on the show, This Morning viewers were quick to take to social media as they spotted a change in Holly. @daviesfamile tweeted: "#thismorning Holly blossoms without [Phillip]," to which @Maria30457324 replied: "Agree." @BarbaraToner6 posted: "#ThisMorning anyone else thinks Holly is so much more relaxed with the different co presenters this week without Philip??"

But at the end of Thursday's show, Holly thanked Joel for hosting with her for a couple of days while he appeared more than thrilled with the opportunity and thanked her for helping him through. Holly then waved to the camera as she confirmed she'll be absent from the programme for a couple of weeks for her annual Easter break.
