Holly Willoughby has it all

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

But what is she really like, and why do we care? (Most don’t 😂🤷‍♀️)

TheFormidableMrsC · 11/01/2020 20:51

I am related to somebody who knows her very well and I think you’re making a lot of assumptions.

HoneysuckleSpeck · 11/01/2020 20:58

Good at presenting but no real talent aside from that

Well.... that’s her talent then isn’t it? You might as well say about a teacher “Good at teaching but no talent apart from that” 🙄

Sundancer77 · 11/01/2020 21:11

@TheFormidableMrsC Assumptions that’s she’s happy/has it all?

Mummyshark2019 · 11/01/2020 21:18

She seems quite dim. Not the sharpest knife in the drawer. Plus she has to work with that twerp PS. You know nothing of her life. But if she's happy then good for her. I am not jealous and most certainly not in awe of a person like that.
Someone who is inspirational who has it all in my eyes is Michelle Obama. Intelligent, witty, caring and married to an amazing man with a beautiful family. She's someone to look up to and admire. She has it all and good for her. She's worked bloody hard for everything she has.
Holly Willoughby has what she has because of her initial good looks and then just luck. She's not an amazing presenter by any stretch of the imagination.

@lovemenorca
Sounds similar to what I’ve heard! A friend works in the industry and has a lot to do with HW. Apparently both she and her husband are very fond of the white powder, and often throw parties where anything and everything goes! Guests sleeping in the children’s beds etc! She has also admitted to using her niece/nephew on the cover of her book as they were ‘’ore saleable’ than her own baby.

Scarylady · 11/01/2020 21:30

@Doubleraspberry that made me laugh!

TheFormidableMrsC · 11/01/2020 21:49

@Sundancer77 Exactly that

@AllTheWhoresOfMalta - I remember a thread identical to this one too!

Duck90 · 11/01/2020 22:13

I would love it if she stopped being the pretty side kick to Phil. She has the influence/power to be a far more positive role model to young Females. At the moment she is like a modern day version of the Benny Hill girls.

goldenorbspider · 11/01/2020 22:14

Comparison is the thief of joy

Plumbus · 11/01/2020 22:33

Apparently her shit smells like rotting flesh and Phil was properly sick when he used the toilet after her.

Holly Willoughby has it all
zandapanda · 11/01/2020 22:38

My friend has occasionally socialised with HW's husband (They have the same circle of friends) and apparently he's moody, quiet and comes across like he's just not that into Holly.
The feeling amongst the group is that she could do a lot better and they are not well matched.

Feel bad for sharing this on social media but just wanted to prove that no one ever really 'has it all' despite what you may think.

Cherrysherbet · 11/01/2020 22:53

How do you know??? What a ridiculous post. You have no idea what her life is like. She seems like a lucky, happy person, but could be struggling with all sorts of problems that we know nothing about.

Cherrysherbet · 11/01/2020 22:58

Feel bad for sharing this on social media

Not bad enough to erm.....not share it on social media though eh?

Prime example of how HWs life is not perfect here. Anyone can spread any old shit they like about you on social media 🙄

Halloweenbabyy · 11/01/2020 23:04

No ones life is perfect. Everyone has their shit days. I don’t think she’s anyway as amazing as people make her out to be, but I don’t do celebrities anyways.

Inappropriatefemale · 11/01/2020 23:48

I can’t imagine HW being into coke, she seems far too goody goody to me but I can imagine her friend Fearne Cotton doing coke, plus wasn’t her husband Jesse Wood involved in a rock band?

Rock stars partial to coke and other drugs, I know Ronnie Wood was in a rock band and it doesn’t mean his son is but I thought he was.

SinglePringle · 11/01/2020 23:54

Inappropriate I’m afraid you’ve got that completely the wrong way round.

Fearne may have the odd glass of wine but nothing more. Her husband is teetotal. Holly is much more the party girl.

Inappropriatefemale · 11/01/2020 23:55

Im surprisedShock but then I’ve obviously been judgmental.

squishee · 12/01/2020 08:47

Generic blonde TV presenter comes across as perfect, what a shocker! She's paid to do just that.

zoobincan · 12/01/2020 08:53

I can’t imagine HW being into coke, she seems far too goody goody to me

You know she gets paid to present that persona?

Inappropriatefemale · 12/01/2020 09:02

Yes @Zoobican I know, sometimes I’m just silly like that, as in ‘what you see is what you get’ when obviously it’s not.

Although there hasn’t been any media stories about her doing coke and you would think that somebody would love to phone up the tabloids and tell them ‘Holly Willoughby takes cocaine’Confused

Doubleraspberry · 12/01/2020 09:05

Pretty much everyone on TV takes cocaine. It’s endemic.

Snuffkindle · 12/01/2020 09:09

Oh I don't get that impression at all OP..I think she has to work really hard,. probably doesn't see her kids as much as she'd like, and she's got to be really strict with her diet to look that good. And she has to put up with Schofield every day. I wouldn't be jel of that. She can keep him!
