This Morning host Holly Willoughby has revealed her eight-year-old daughter was named after a fairytale film heroine during a jaunt to Disneyland Paris.
Hols, 38, made the trip to the French theme park for the launch of The Lion King and Jungle Festival – but it turns out a different Disney favourite proved the inspiration for her second-born being called Belle.
According to the Mirror’s website, Holly explained the lead character from Beauty and the Beast – whose name means ‘beautiful’ in English – was the Disney character she most identifies with.
“I’m going to have to choose Belle because I think she’s got real girl power and my daughter’s called Belle,” Holly is reported to have said.

She chuckled: “I named my daughter after my favourite Disney princess. I think that sort of says it all.”
Mum-of-three Holly – who also shares sons Harry, 10, and Chester, four, with husband Dan Baldwin – donned mouse ears in front of Sleeping Beauty’s castle to hail her Disney hosts on Instagram, thanking them for for “the most magical of weekends”.
Also attending the celebrity event in France were Coronation Street’s Lucy Fallon and Helen Flanagan, as well as Hollywood’s Katie Holmes.
But it seems Hols also managed to make the most of the nearby French capital, too, while she was in Europe – with pics on her Instagram account showing her taking in the sights and making the most of the local specialities.

As well as sharing a snap of herself at the Eiffel Tower, Holly also ventured at least part of the way up it for refreshments at the swanky restaurant on the iconic Paris landmark’s first floor.
Toasting her social media fans with a glass of bubbly, she noted: “Has to be one of the best lunch spots.”
But followers were more taken by Holly’s flawless appearance than what was on the menu, with dozens lavishing compliments on her make up.
“Eyeliner is on point ♥️🙌🏻,” commented one admirer.
“Stunning shade! 💕,” said another observer, remarking on her lippy.
And a third commenter concluded: “You looks amazing 👍👍👍.”
