This Morning star Holly Willoughby has fully opened up about her embarrassing first encounter with her husband’s mum, when the couple began dating.
Recounting the tale on Instagram, she said she wanted to impress Dan Baldwin’s Italian mamma with her culinary skills, by whipping up an aromatic potato dish flavoured with freshly picked rosemary.
It wasn’t until they all took a mouthful that they realised Holly had actually cooked with lavender. Yum.
