‘He looked at me like I was this wally of a person’: Holly Willoughby admits she thought her husband Dan Baldwin was ‘a d**khead’ when they first met
They’ve been happily married since 2007 and have three children.
But Holly Willoughby has admitted that it wasn’t love at first sight when she met her husband Dan Baldwin, as she thought he was a ‘di*****d.’
Speaking to Keith Lemon on his Christmas Shopping special, the presenter, 38, admitted that due to Dan’s past working for MTV she thought he was ‘too cool for school’ to be her dream man, and it took a while before their romance blossomed.

Offering a rare insight into the early days of their relationship, Holly told Keith that it took a long time for her and Dan to become ‘really good friends,’ and they first met when he joined one of her TV projects as a producer.
She said: ‘Dan was there as a new producer and I thought, ”oh my God, I’m gonna hate this guy”.’
When asked if she fancied Dan from the start, the star said: ‘No, not at all and he’d come from MTV and he was very cool for school. He looked at me like I was this wally of a person.
‘I thought, ‘Oh my God he hates me, he just thinks he’s really cool.”

‘In that second I just knew, it was like a little sparkle.’

Highlighting their close bond, Holly shared: ‘If he left This Morning… well we’ve always said from the beginning that if either of us left then we wouldn’t want to do it as I can’t imagine This Morning without Phil, it’s us together!’

Truth: During the TV special, Holly also spoke about her friendship with This Morning co-host Phillip Schofield, amid claims the pair are embroiled in a ‘feud’
Earlier this month, Phillip was accused of creating a ‘toxic atmosphere’ for his This Morning co-stars, with allegations of ongoing spats with Holly and stand-in hosts Ruth Langsford and Eamonn Holmes.
It is claimed eight different ITV presenters have broken their silence regarding Phillip’s attitude, according to The Sun.
Hitting back at the reports, a spokesperson for ITV said: ‘It’s deeply disappointing and unfair for Phillip to be the target of this sort of malicious gossip.
‘Phillip is a much respected broadcaster and colleague and this is absolutely not a description of This Morning that we recognise.
‘Holly and Phil are great friends both on and off screen and are popular among viewers and colleagues alike.’
