Holly Willoughby 'jealous' of any women about to go into labour as she loved it

Holly Willoughby has admitted that she's 'jealous' of any people who are about to go into labour.

The 40-year-old TV presenter shares three children with her husband Dan Baldwin and loved giving birth.

During Monday's This Morning, Holly and her co-host Phillip Schofield asked viewers to call in and share their exciting Christmas plans.

One woman they spoke to was keen to tell them about the imminent birth of her first child.

Towards the end of the call, Holly commented: "Well that's so exciting! Can I just say, really enjoy it because I know that when it's your first, you're always quite nervous about what it's gonna be like and if it's all gonna be okay...

"But I loved all three of my labours and they were all completely different and some of them weren't straightforward but I really enjoyed it."

Holly continued: "It's a very magical, special thing you're about to go through and I'm really jealous of anybody that's about to go into labour coz it's the best thing, it's the best experience ever!"

The blonde TV star is notoriously private about her personal life and never shares Harry, Belle, or Chester's faces in photos that she posts on social media.

Back in October Holly revealed that people think she loves her career more than she loves her children.

The This Morning presenter revealed she has regularly missed taking her kids - Harry, 12, Belle, 10, and Chester, seven - to school in the mornings, because she has to work and she struggles with mum guilt as a result.

However, she knows it is something a lot of other working mums experience too.

Speaking on The One Show, she said: "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?

"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."

Holly explained that her guilt actually comes from worrying what others think of her parenting, rather than her own feelings.

"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," she added.

This Morning airs weekdays at 10am on ITV and ITV Hub.
