Holly Willoughby says she almost ‘did a runner’ when meeting ex in rare romance admission | Celebrity News | Showbiz & TV
Speaking about meeting him on Loose Women back in January, Holly said: “We met on Saturday mornings and we became really, ridiculously close friends.
“It was like this intensity of friendship for about ten, 15 weeks or something and then I remember cheersing him with a glass and looking at him and I was like, ‘Oh my God, I fancy him. I fancy my friend.’
“It took me so by surprise and I thought, ‘Oh god, what’s just happened.'”
She then added: “In hindsight looking back, I think I was actually falling in love with him.
“I think that’s what that intensity was but I didn’t necessarily recognise it.”
Holly and Dan have three children together, two sons and a daughter.
