Holly Willoughby says boobs are round her knees and face is sagging - but she's okay

Holly Willoughby 's brutally honest review of her ageing body is something most women out there will be able to identify with.

The This Morning presenter, 40, has opened up about the way her looks are changing as she gets older.

The mum-of-three says her boobs are around her knees, she's getting wrinkles and that her hair is changing too.

But Holly defiantly said she doesn't care about looking older because she's proud of what her body has achieved.

Speaking on the Happy Place podcast, she said: "Particularly as you're getting older, and I think when you hit your forties things change quite rapidly actually - we're heading towards that kind of menopausal time, skin is changing, hair is changing, body's changing, even having had a baby - your shape of your body completely changes.

"I think that it's really important in those moments to kind of, rather than look down and go 'oh, my god, look at everything that's changing, I'm getting older, I'm getting more wrinkles, my t**s are around my knees', instead of looking down, you've sort of got to look up with it and go 'god, my body was able to carry a baby and my boobs breastfed three children, and they were fine'.

"Well two and a half - Chester was useless, I was useless, couldn't quite do it - and then you've got to kind of go 'you know, yes, my face is starting to sag, and my eyes are bloodshot, and the rest of it, but you know, I'm healthy and I'm OK and getting older is like a privilege because not everybody else gets to be here'.

"Having a daughter, I'm very aware of the example I set now in this stage because Belle's ten, so she's old enough now to be watching me, and I want to conduct myself in a way that when she gets to this stage, it's like I'm clearing the pathway for her.

"That's how I feel about many things, not just about outward image. I feel like I have a responsibility there, to do this in a way that is a positive experience for all of us."

Holly shares kids Harry, 12, Belle, 10, and Chester, seven, with husband Dan Baldwin.
