Live webchat with Holly Willoughby and her sister Kelly, Wednesday 19 June, 2-3pm

[RachelMumsnet]

Holly Willoughby and sister Kelly are joining us for a webchat on Wednesday 19th June at 2-3pm.  Holly and Kelly always dreamt of writing a story together since their childhood when they would make up stories and dress up and perform for their parents. Their dream has come true as their first book School for Stars: First Term at L'etoile is being published on 20th June. Set in a performing arts boarding school, the story is a perfect mix ofGlee and X Factor but with all the classic charm of Ballet Shoes and Malory Towers; full of midnight feasts, makeovers, dares, drama and dance. 
 
Holly is best known for presenting ITV1's flagship daytime programme This Morning as well as prime-time shows Surprise Surprise and The Voice.  She won a Children's BAFTA award for best presenter in 2006. Kelly has always dreamt of being an author and is delighted to be realising her dream with her sister.
 
Come and chat to Holly and Kelly on Weds 19th at 2pm, but if you're unable to join us at that time, post your question in advance to this thread.
 

Holly and Kelly will also be signing copies of their new book after school next Thursday 20th June at 4.15pm in Harrods Toy Kingdom.  Find out more.

I suspect she might have more things to say . . . and she might be a tad more enlightening than today's contributors. If she does come though, and I'm on my holidays, can someone ask her about being Children's Laureate rather than tea dresses and Harry Potter please?

[JustGiveMeFiveMinutes]

Please do invite Malorie Blackman back. My ds would be thrilled to read that.

[ShadeofViolet]

I have read the excerpt on Amazon. It isn't as bad as the vomit inducing Unicorn School I will give it that.

[LeGavrOrf]

Tell us Helen, what do you say.

Or do you just wordlessly hand over a printout of the Sheherezade Goldsmith thread and give them a rictus grin?

[EliotNess]

Lol at all of you
but i LOVES helen

[HelenMumsnet]

@JustGiveMeFiveMinutes

Please do invite Malorie Blackman back. My ds would be thrilled to read that.

We'll see what we can do.

[HelenMumsnet]

@EliotNess

Lol at all of you
but i LOVES helen

Aw, did you mean to be so nice?

[LeGavrOrf]

Eliot, you made me laugh today with anti pasta and Eton mess

[LeGavrOrf]

I reread that Sheherezade thread the other day, god that was funny (and evil).

[ShadeofViolet]

Well she was being a knob with her eco mum bollocks.

[LeGavrOrf]

I loved it. It was so funny.

Silly cah.

[ShadeofViolet]

We should get Kerry Katona on.

That would be fun times.

[Sparklingbrook]

Anthea Turner. I need to ask see what else she can fold.

[LeGavrOrf]

I have never been so pleased as when I went through my cupboard and folded everything up Anthea style.

Dd caught me when I had finished and was standing hands on hips looking at the laundry shelves, sighing in sheer happiness. She thought I was a loser.

[Sparklingbrook]

But if AT came on for a webchat she would be expected to talk about her divorce and not just folding.

[LeGavrOrf]

And being blown up on Going Live. I remember watching that as a kid.

I think AT would answer questions like that.

I like her actually. I reckon she has been unfairly maligned for years, and her career suffered because of her marriage with that chinless twat.

[Sparklingbrook]

I think she is fabulous and want her back on the TV.

[ShadeofViolet]

Oh God, her husband is such a knobber. I bet he is a whiner and I can imagine him pulling a 'dont you know who I am' stunt.

Can we have Lauren Booth. That would be fun.

[LeGavrOrf]

I do as well.

I kind of hope she gets a career renaissance now she has ditched him.

She would be great on Loose Women or something, she was a really good tv presenter. Probably though she is the wrong side of 50.

[Sparklingbrook]

No all the LW are ancient.

[LeGavrOrf]

I don't know who is on it now.

I used to like the Scottish woman who was on it years ago. Kay something.

[ShadeofViolet]

I cant imagine her on LW, she is too refined

Poor Anthea would be deafened by Jane and her hooting.

[Sparklingbrook]

Kaye thingy hosts The Wright Stuff when MW is away.

LW are-

Carol McGiffin
Cruiseship Jane
Little blonde one from The Bill-Lisa
Janet Street Porter
Denzie Welch
Her off Corrie who has recently died
Her off Birds of a Feather
Carol Bornaman

[scottishmummy]

this wasn't web chat,it was an advertorial for their book,straight up promotion
was that what you intended mnhq?a thread promoting their book?
dodged questions other than the book promo

[LeGavrOrf]

I like Janet SP, didn't know she was on it.

They need to get Anthea back on This Morning with Eamon just to see the look on his spuddy face.
