The presenter is famously cautious about sharing pictures of her and Dan’s children, always making sure their faces are hidden when she does.

Yesterday (May 11), Holly expressed concerns about sending their youngest son Chester back to school after the government announced their roadmap to exiting lockdown.

Lockdown concerns

She said she doesn’t think her five-year-old son Chester will be able to follow social distancing rules, especially around his friends.

Holly said: “I’m telling you there is no way he will be able to socially distance himself two metres away from his best friend Arthur.

“It’s just not going to happen.”

She added: “The problem is, we’re all just about holding on. We’ve all done so well, we’ve all done exactly what we’ve been told.

“We’re doing so well to keep our spirits up. But when there’s this level of confusion, it knocks you back.”

Holly is also doing her bit for charity during the coronavirus pandemic, auctioning herself off for a lunch date with six fans.

Charity auction

The This Morning presenter has made the gesture as part of an incredible fundraiser set up by Virgin Radio’s Breakfast host Chris Evans.

Chris has been raising money for the NHS as he launched a Bid In Auction campaign.

Holly shared a photo of herself to Instagram alongside a note which read: “Yes Chris! I’m in. See you at lunch.”

Holly captioned the post: “Hi everyone… I am now up for auction! Thank you Chris Evans for allowing me to be part of something so brilliant.”
