Holly Willoughby has it all

[Landing232]

Just that really. OK so I know I will get told to focus on my own life and that I'm jealous etc I do actually like watching Holly on TV but I can't help hut think she constantly lands on her feet, I know no-one knows what goes on behind closed doors but she is genuinely happy, I don't think you could fake that everyday! She's super rich, seems to have a nice husband and family life, no money struggles wondering how she is going to pay a bill, always getting new job roles, I don't understand how every area in her life can be so perfect. Over the years I have watched this morning whilst going through phases of being so poor and now a marriage breakup, so I understand you will think its my own issues why I feel like this but I'm just wondering how people go through life getting good things thrown at them and some have shit. Yes she works hard hut don't we all she just got lucky yo be working on TV which not everyone has the chance to do to warn millions

*to earn millions

You should probably put this in sleb gossip rather than AIBU...

Your thread title ought to read "Holly Willoughby seems to have it all.

Some people are like cats and always fall on their feet. You can’t compare yourself with others that way madness lies!

Life isn’t fair and that’s just how it is. Some people are fortunate enough to have both been kicky and made good decisions in most aspects of their life. Compare yourself to somebody living in a refugee camp in Yemen, and suddenly you don’t have it so bad after all.

*been lucky

Happy to admit I’m jealous! From what we can see her life looks fabulous

Some people are just lucky (right place, right time etc.). If it was just down to hard work and enthusiasm we wouldn’t be able to move for successful people.

It baffles me how she is still on the telly. The annoying squeaky voice she puts on drives me to distraction. She's not too bad on her own but when she is paired with "I love myself" Philip Schofield I have to switch off.

Well I think she has a pretty boring personality, so in my opinion she doesn’t really have it all.

No she doesn’t, I’d hate to be HW or any so called celebrity that has no private life

I’m sure I read basically this exact thread a few months ago. Was it you then OP or are there two people who are this bizarrely jealous of HW?

Well TV is a small pool and she’s been there a long time. Like in any job, you need the proven track record to be on top and she has that. It isn’t chance that she has the jobs she has. I’m not saying she isn’t fortunate, she is, or that she hasn’t had the right opportunities at the right time. But you’ve written your op like she’s jumping from thing to thing with nothing behind it when she isn’t.

I don’t think we can make assumptions about her private life. Being up at stupid o’clock and everyone having to be flexible around her must take its toll.

Some people are lucky. Yes they also make decisions that affect them positively but it’s largely luck too. It sucks but there are always people who land on their feet. But! There are always people who have it way worse too. To someone else you have it all.

Robin Williams seemed to have it all too. You just don't know OP.

I can imagine her life to be very stressful actually, I wouldn't want it. Just focus on yourself and find happiness in what you have.

I don't think anyone that works a job like her can possible have a 'nice' family life. She's never there. A few Instagram posts of them on holiday does not a nice family make.

You’ve said it yourself, nobody knows what goes on behind closed doors. You have no idea what struggles she might have behind the scenes.

Yes, some people seem to be luckier than others, but nobody has a perfect life. If they are happy, good for them - it doesn’t make the rest of us any less happy, nor does it make our own challenges any more difficult.

I’m sorry that you’re having a tough time.

It’s because she’s pretty

She has no other discernible talent

That's just life.

I'm a single mum with an average income and lifestyle but I'm not jealous of Holly or anyone famous at all. I wouldn't want that intrusive lifestyle.

You really do need to learn to be happy with your own life.

I think you need to try to forget about some celebrity on T.V and focus on your own life and your own self esteem.

Might be worth looking into counselling or something as it sounds as though you've been having a tough time.

I like Holly and it does seem she lives a charmed life but everyone has hardships to deal with. I actually always thought how difficult her life must have been when her DC were small. It can't have been easy juggling her job with babies/toddlers, I imagine family life probably suffered as a result.

Life is always going to be unequal unfortunately OP. We just have to make the most of our own situations.

I think its just because she's managed to corner the market for 'girl next door yummy mummy'.

Good at presenting but no real talent aside from that. I dont mind her, no string feelings either way

Everyone's life is made up of ups and downs. We only grow through experiencing challenges. I don't for one minute think Holly Willoughby's life is without challenges.

Can you imagine a life where everything is hunkydory all the time, where all areas of life are like a fairy tale? I think we would always be striving for a sense of self-achievement if everything was on an even keel. It's human nature.

Why do you think every area of Holly's life is so perfect? You can't know that. It might be that it is right now but circumstances change over our lifetimes and you never know what she has to come.

I really don't know why you would be so focussed on the life of someone else. If you are so busy how come you are spending your time watching TV?

I would be surprised if she has just been lucky. She may be focussed and driven and ambitious. Besides, why would she be lucky to get on TV? It isn't something I've ever aspired to, just as I haven't aspired to be "super rich". Your value system seems a bit skewed to me.

@zoobincan not arguing, just wondering why you say she’s never there? She has all school holidays off, she has Fridays off and I always thought she’d be home early enough to do the school pick up and then spend the rest of the day with the family? She works one evening a week for celeb juice, when it’s on. Surely that’s more family time than the average working family?

She's got googly eyes if that makes you feel any better

I also think focus on yourself, to be envious of a random celeb is really unhealthy. To be over thinking it and focusing on it to that level. This is about you, not her, you don't even know her. That's way you need to think through, why are you fixated on a random celeb you don't know?
