Holly Willoughby has spoken out against 'mummy-shamers' as she revealed she has hired a nanny.
The This Morning presenter has three children; Harry, 10, Belle, eight, and Chester, five, with her husband Dan Baldwin.
As well as being a mum, Holly has an extremely busy lifestyle - presenting the ITV show every weekday morning to doing brand partnerships with Dunelm and M&S.
So as a helping hand, Holly revealed she has hired a nanny - something which has sparked controversy in the past.
She told Closer: "I do have a nanny, otherwise the kids would have to walk themselves to school.
"A good work-life balance is, for me, the most important thing - and the biggest challenge I have. I'm lucky I do a job that allows me to do school pick-up, so I feel quite blessed to have that."
She also argued mothers are judged whether they stay home or work, so she tries not to listen to trolls who judge her parenting, reports the Mirror.
Holly said: "I don't think women can win.
"Working mums and stay-at-home mums get a tough time. You're damned if you do and damned if you don't."
She urged people not to 'listen to the mummy brigade', saying: "You just have to do what's right for you and not listen to what the mummy brigade say."
Holly also addressed the rumours her and Phillip were feuding, and their friendly on-air demeanours were fake.
She laughed off the claims, saying her chemistry and giggles with Phillip would be impossible to fake, and that she is not good that good an actress.
