Holly Willoughby talks about the one thing her husband does that enrages her

Holly Willoughby opened up about the one thing her husband does that makes her blood boil with rage, when he criticises what she watches on telly.

The This Morning presenter revealed that she takes criticism unusually personally, especially when her husband of 14 years Dan Baldwin asks her what 's**t' she's watching on TV.

However, Holly, 40, acknowledges this is likely due to the fact that she considers herself something of a control freak.

Despite this Holly still gushes about fancying her husband loads after 14 years of marriage.

Speaking to The Sun on Sunday, Holly said: “If I’m watching something on TV and my husband suddenly asks, ‘Why are you watching this s***?’, it’ll spark something deep inside and I will get disproportionately angry about it.

“But actually I’m angry because I subconsciously feel as though someone’s trying to control what I’m doing.

“My husband absolutely isn’t trying to control me, but I’m getting a really strong reaction, so maybe I’m worried about control in my life.

“Maybe that’s a sign that I still need to address the issue of control.”

Despite the remote issue, Holly gushed earlier in the weekend about how the love they share is very much alive.

Speaking on Zoe Ball's Radio 2 show Holly said: "I have a very happy relationship with my husband. I love him, I still fancy him - which is fantastic."

"I'm very blessed in many, many ways."

Last week, Holly sat down for a chat with her old friend Fearne Cotton where she discussed other aspects of her family and home life.

Speaking on the Happy Place podcast, Holly explained how she has battled ‘mum guilt’ due to the fact she works for a living.

She said: “I had to challenge the set of beliefs I was living by.

“I’m feeling mega guilty now. Why? What’s making me feel guilty? Is it that I’m working too much? Like the whole working mum thing, for example, is like ‘Oh my God, I’m a working mum, I can’t drop my kids off at school in the morning because i’m always at work.’”

“What I boiled it to is - people must think people don’t love my kids because I go to work,” she continued. “If I actually break that down to what I’m telling myself - that’s mad, because of course I love my kids. I love my kids with every ounce of my being.

“So why am I feeling guilty? Because I know I’m going to work because I enjoy going to work and it’s got no correlation to how much I love my kids, those two things shouldn’t even be in the same sentence.

“But I’m believing a set of beliefs that I think other people are feeling.

“It’s kind of like snipping at strings of balloons filled with beliefs that don’t belong to me.”
