Holly’s tell-all on herself
The TV presenter is opening up in a very honest book
Last week, Holly Willoughby told fans she was thrilled to announce that she’ll be releasing a book all about finding your inner and outer beauty. Reflections – which will be published in October – will see the 40 year old tackle issues such as body confidence, control, and burning out. And heat has been told that Holly will also take the chance to speak out on other topics – and is keen to show fans her life isn’t as perfect as it seems.
Posting on Instagram, Holly said of the book, “We live in a world where so much is about how we present ourselves on the outside and there is fun to be had here, but true beauty comes from within… There is an alignment that needs to happen and finding that balance hasn’t always felt so easy. Now, I’m finally at a point in my life where I can see a little more clearly, and I want to share my truths in the hope that maybe they’ll help you, too.”
An insider close to the This Morning presenter tells heat that she’s not planning on holding back. “Although it’s largely about body image and beauty standards, Holly is going to shock everyone when the book comes out. It’s being billed as a ‘tell-all’ for good reason,” our source reveals. “Holly wants to give some of her more unfiltered opinions, that are not usually fit for daytime viewing. She would never throw anyone under the bus, but there have been some occasions where she’s been upset by other celebrities and been put down. For years, she has felt frustrated when people discuss her body or weight. Now, she wants to address all the body shaming, and negative comments from within the industry, as well as online trolls.”
In 2019, the mum of three said in an interview, “I try not to focus too much on my appearance. As long as I’m being healthy, that’s good enough for me. I’m quite active and I try not to let the way I look be the main focus, because it’s not the important thing.”
While her healthy attitude towards body image is admirable, we’re told she has been affected by people’s comments. “It’s been upsetting for her at times, and she has kept that secret until now,” says the source. “Ultimately, she wants to show people that her life isn’t as perfect as it’s made out to be, and her incredible career hasn’t always been easy, either. As always, she wants to be relatable to her audience – and she knows that her female fans have had to put up with their fair share of attacks on their bodies. Holly is on a crusade to let them know they’re not alone.”
