Holly Willoughby reveals 'wild' nights out when she was a children's TV presenter

Holly Willoughby has revealed that things got a bit "too wild" off-screen during her time as a children's TV presenter.

The This Morning star started her successful telly career on CITV, landing her first major gig on Saturday morning show Ministry of Mayhem.

But Holly has been discussing what really went on off-air.

Speaking to Live magazine, the 38-year-old said: "There were times when we went straight from the hotel bar to going live on air.

"Everyone in children’s TV drinks until 5am. If you mess up, no one cares...

"It got a bit too wild when my breast popped out of my dress."

Holly also went on to joke that the bonkers games that the presenters had to carry out on the show didn't help the morning after the night before.

She continued: "It doesn't help when you read the script and you’ve got to drink anchovies in custard with some eight year old...

"No matter how hard you scrub in the shower, you can’t get the smell of custard pie off your skin."

The mum-of-three presented the popular programme alongside Stephen Mulhern in 2004.

It was then re branded as Holly And Stephen's Saturday Showdown before being axed in 2006.
