Anyone else a little envious of celeb mums like Holly Willoughby?

I know I am being totally irrational and unreasonable but does anyone else think like this? Holly seems to have the ideal life. Great job, great working hours. Husband who earns well. Beautiful, healthy children. Can afford a great house, good child care, close to her sister, turns her hand to most things and makes good money from her ventures blah blah.. Same with Louise Redknapp, great lifestyle business she runs with a friend, beautiful husband , lovely home, supportive extended family. It's not like they are awesomely great at what they do.. I just feel a little envious that's all. Daft isn't it!

That celebs are actually normal people, that they go through normal everyday issues and are not a 'perfect human

But why should celebs publish their every day domestic issues? This is why fame sounds so shit to me, if you talk about personal stuff you're attention seeking, if you don't you're a bad role model… bah! nah, I'll leave the fame to them thanks!

I don't envy her. I do like her though.

I have read some things about her and her husbands relationship which made me feel a bit sad for her actually.

No I would hate the constant attention and judging from strangers

but I do often practise my Oscar/Pulitzer Prize/BAFTA/Grammy award speech where I receive the longest ever standing ovation for such original outstanding work and for being so utterly fabulous

Gaaahhh, ooh what username do you think she posts under. ? If she is on MN, Hi Holly, would you like to covertly tell us how you really are like the rest of us mere mortals :-)
Wonder if her Nanny is on here too..

Not jealous, no. Who wants to live in the limelight, be scrutinised and criticised constantly? And probably cheated on. Nope. Not me.

I don't understand why you would think that they weren't normal people with normal problems? Having a job that means people recognise you in the street is not a magic shield against all the shit that happens in life is it? OK, so they might not have money problems to the same extent as us but it won't stop them getting ill for example.

Getting away from this the point, i don't think This Morning is the right programme for her. She always looks out of her depth, it's like she got the job for her looks. Hmm Can't stand Phil either.

I'd hate to be a rich celebrity. I'd much rather be the wife of a Russian billionaire say and swan about with gazillions of staff and 53 properties and 6 boats and a private jet and.... I'd better stop before I start drooling.

I read this thread late last night and had a horrific nightmare about an evil man who tried to sexually blackmail me - you tell anyone and I'll release this picture etc. In my dream we weren't in a relationship but it did make me think about this thread and what power your partner would have over you if you were a celebrity and they had pictures or information about you. It's all very well and good wishing our celebrities were more "human" but another thing when your intimate private life is revealed without your consent. Scary thoughts.

The nanny hit the child?! Shock That's awful. Surely that would make them somewhat wary of all future nannies? Thing is, she needs one doesn't she, to be able to do the work she does, she has no choice.

She seems to have a squeaky clean image & a lovely life. Good luck to her, she seems genuinely nice as a person. I much prefer Ruth & Eamon on this morning though.

A lot of things are bulk taped though arent they? So that dating show she probably films 2-3 a day, taking up max one week. Four days (ok probs full days) TM then the odd afternoon for a photoshoot or mag interview. Play To The Whistle and Celeb Juice are seasonal.
