To be jealous of holly willoughby

She looks good, has a great career with plenty of holidays, from the face of it has a fantastic husband and marriage. And most importantly she comes across like she is a fantastic mother. So patient and calm. Im jealous but admire her too in equal measures. AIBU??????

I love her wardrobe but it’s her stylist Angie Smith who picks the clothes , she does always look terrific though.

It’s true that no one knows what any celeb’s life is really like behind their front door.

Remember Instagram and sm is all illusion and 90% bollocks.

BrieAndChilli · 28/01/2018 19:57

Most people if they had a stylistX hair dresser, personal trainer, make up artist, shops throwing free clothes at you, several nannies, a rich husband (who can help get you good jobs) a cleaner, a driver, probably a food meal delivery service, money to spend on beauty treatments etc etc would have a similar life to Holly.
She is attractive but she wouldn’t be as attractive if she was married to a us driver and had no money to buy more than basic moisturiser and rimmel make up!!

She gets paid to present herself a particular way.

What she's like off-camera, in her personal life is something entirely separate. She may be the same; she may be completely different.

Plumes · 28/01/2018 19:58

Her style has certainly improved. She used to be overly fond of these awful polka dot frocks.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 28/01/2018 19:59

Does she she smoke.Shock.

What's the big deal.Confused

SlideAway82 · 28/01/2018 20:00

Something like that JaneEyre70......but I've read in numerous places the truth behind it!

She's very very fake, in my opinion. No one can maintain being that fluffy 24/7.

Scabbersley · 28/01/2018 20:01

Really? I think she comes across as a complete airhead. I have a friend who keeps sharing clips of her and Philip schofield in Facebook. Usually her making some obviously scripted double entendre. It makes me cringe.

Fosterdog123 · 28/01/2018 20:02

Why is everyone saying SHE'S got a nanny? The children have 2 parents, who are equally responsible, so it should be THEY'VE got a nanny.

SlideAway82 · 28/01/2018 20:03

Although I have stood next to her in person at Glasgow Airport and she is very pretty and looks even thinner in real life. But the grin looked like it was painted on.

I held my nose in the air and pretended I didn't even notice her......haha!

twattymctwatterson · 28/01/2018 20:03

She smiles so much that I think her face must hurt by the end of the day. She's always simpering.

OOOOOOOOOOO · 28/01/2018 20:04

Her Mum is really pretty. Good genes!

SpongeBobJudgeyPants · 28/01/2018 20:07

I don't think she seems smug, she seems to me genuinely nice. But you can get to grip with your anger issues, with CBT or something? Mindfullness app stops me feeling murderous sometimes. Doesn't mean you aren't nice, if you get your hair off once in a while. You have friends, yes?

MamaMiaReboot · 28/01/2018 20:08

What’s wrong with HL?

Personally I love her. I loved her more in the early days but totally understand that it’s difficult to balance the expectations she will be under on a programme like This Morning versus her “real” persona on Keith Lemons show.

But good for her.

MamaMiaReboot · 28/01/2018 20:09

Holly Willoughby. Not sure where the HL came from Hmm

pussygolightly · 28/01/2018 20:09

She was an awful bully at school

Sparklingbrook · 28/01/2018 20:10

I prefer to be jealous of Emma Willis. Grin

HW cries and simpers her way through This Morning and can come across like she has no clue what's happening.

RickOShay · 28/01/2018 20:10

I like her more now i know she smokesGrin

Neverender · 28/01/2018 20:11

Honesty alert - she's probably exactly like the rest of us and has good and bad days. She has a lovely face and that's great but she's a person, like us all. Life is never 'perfect', but it can seem like that if you decide to see the positive bits of anyone's life as ' the truth'. I'd quite like to be her mate, she seems pretty normal, considering.

mrsBeverleyGoldberg · 28/01/2018 20:14

She's smug and a stereotype. There's nothing authentic about her at all. Get some counselling to help you raise your self esteem.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 28/01/2018 20:17

"Her mum is really pretty. Good genes!"

Hello Holly's mumGrin

Mintychoc1 · 28/01/2018 20:17

I wasn't relating the smoking to whether that made her likeable or not. But, in my mind, it definitely makes her not someone to be jealous of. Apart from a tiny minority of people, anyone who smokes will either suffer premature death, unpleasant illness, or the stress of giving up. It's not a situation I'd want to be in.

RitasEducation · 28/01/2018 20:17

I suspect even if she was born less pretty she would still be amazing.

She is funny, warm and caring.

edwinbear · 28/01/2018 20:18

I'm envious of her salary for sure. Her life as a full time, working mum, with erratic office hours and getting papped the morning after the night before, not so much. Trying to get childcare whilst she's presenting Dancing on Ice, on a Sunday evening when the nanny calls in sick is way more stress than me calling in sick to the office.

RitasEducation · 28/01/2018 20:20

She is hilarious in Celebrity Juice.

I do not think she is fake, some folk are happy and fluffy all the time.

ChristmasCakes · 28/01/2018 20:22

She does my head in a bit on celebrity juice. Laughing and simpering while people make jokes about her breasts.
