What a woman.

Holly Willoughby is a very busy woman.

She balances her major television career with being a wife and a mum to three gorgeous kiddos.

So naturally, we’re all a bit curious as to how she does it.

“It’s not easy and there is no perfect recipe,” Holly told HELLO! recently.

“There really isn’t. I think that I’m really lucky that I can sort of pull back when things feel too much so I know that I’m very blessed for that reason.”

She continued:

“I’m quite strict with myself so when I’m at work, they are my work hours and I get a lot achieved in a small amount of time, like ‘go go go, get it done, get it done’ and then it’s like ‘bang home time – bye everyone!’ and then the phone goes off and everything shuts down and I’m a mum.”

“So I’m really strict, to the point where I probably drive everyone completely mad, but that’s the way it has to be otherwise you don’t have a work/life balance.”

Holly is the proud mum of three gorgeous children: Chester, Harry and Belle.

She’s also currently working on I’m A Celeb, alongside Dec Donnelly!
