Holly Willoughby has revealed a “lot of tears” went into writing her book Reflections.
The This Morning host appeared on Lorraine today (November 1) to speak about her foray into writing.
And it seems that “shining a light into those dark corners of your own life” was “hard” for the TV presenter.
What did Holly Willoughby say about her book?
Holly told Loraine it had been a sometimes “painful” experience writing her book.
She said: “There’s been a lot of tears. It’s been very hard, it’s been painful.
“I think sometimes shining a light into those dark corners of your own life is hard and sometimes you have to be very brave, and you have to dig really deep to do it.”

However, she added: “But I think it’s really important because I think if you don’t do it, then it will rise to the surface and sometimes it comes out sideways.
“So I think you do need to face those things with the right support and when it feels like the right time for you, and for me, this definitely was the right time.”
Lorraine asked Holly: “People think you don’t have dark corners, but everybody does. You always seem so up and so happy.”
Holly replied: “Everybody does, and they vary. They’re different shades. People have varying degrees of things and mine – I think that everybody needs to look inwardly occasionally.”
