This Morning's Holly Willoughby hits out at the 'mummy-shamers'

Holly Willoughby is known for keeping her family life very private.

But in rare glimpses, the This Morning star has let fans in on life as a mum-of-three.

This time, Holly has hit back at the 'mummy brigade' who criticise her for working full-time and having a nanny to look after her children - Harry, ten, Belle, eight, and Chester, five - who she shares with her husband Dan Baldwin.

Speaking to Closer magazine, the 38-year-old said: "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."

The presenter also had some advice for other women who are constantly judged over the choices they make.

Holly added: "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.

"You just have to do what’s right for you and not listen to what the mummy brigade say."

The telly star was even quizzed on the possibility of expanding her brood to which she replied: "'I don't know. Sometimes I think, 'Why not?' and sometimes I think, 'No way!'. My husband Dan changes his mind, too."

Fans went into a bit of a frenzy last month when Holly teased some 'big news' on her Instagram page.

Many thought that she was about to announce that she was expecting her fourth child but it was in fact just the release of a new bedding collection with Dunelm.
