Over the past two months, Holly has been absent from This Morning as she enjoys the summer holidays with her husband, Dan Baldwin, and their three children – Harry, Belle and Chester. Earlier this month, the TV star was pictured on a beach in the Algarve, Portugal, and she’s also been documenting her time away in the weekly Wylde Moon newsletter.

Clearly, Holly has been relishing her time off, which has got her reflecting on the important things in life. At the start of the week, she penned: “This week, as I sit here with my family feeling incredibly blessed to have this time together, it’s really got me thinking about how many of these family holidays are left.

“My eldest son, Harry, is 14 this year, and I’m sure it won’t be long before he’ll start wanting some more independence and to go on holiday with his friends instead of his mum and dad! The days where my kids need me around the clock are long gone and whilst it’s a sad way of looking at things, recognising how truly precious and short this time is, has actually helped me to remain totally present.”
