This Morning presenter Holly Willoughby, 38, has three children; Harry, 10, Belle, eight, and four-year-old Chester with her husband Dan Baldwin. Speaking at the launch of the new The Lion King and Jungle Festival in Disneyland Paris, Holly revealed why she decided to call her only daughter Belle. The presenter said her daughter’s name was inspired by her favourite Disney princess, Belle from Beauty and The Beast. Seemingly speaking of her favourite Disney character, she said: “I’m going to have to choose Belle because I think she’s got real girl power and my daughter’s called Belle.
“I named my daughter after my favourite Disney princess. I think that sort of says it all,” she added.
Despite being widely known to her fans, Holly keeps her children out of the spotlight and hides their faces on social media.
But, her motives don’t stop the star sharing sentimental moments of her family life with her 5.4 million Instagram followers.
Earlier this week, she shared an adorable mother and daughter moment with Belle.
Holly smiled proudly at her daughter while the pair embraced the smell of some pink flowers.
She simply captioned the picture: “Belle,” followed by a love heart emoji.
Many of her social media fans flocked to her page to comment on the snap.
One user wrote: “Just beautiful. I sometimes look at my girls and can’t quite believe I created something so beautiful and amazing. Such a precious gift.”
A second penned: Beautiful mother – daughter moment, lovely photo to cherish x.”
A third commented: “Aw this pic is so so cute.”
Elsewhere earlier this week, Holly’s co-star Phillip Schofield let slip what Holly has in her secret drawers at home.
During a recent episode of the show, Holly and Phillip discussed her creation of Forky from Toy Story 4, which she shared on Instagram.
Holly then told viewers she had drawers full of arts and crafts which her children are not allowed to go near.
She said: “There’s a glue gun involved, and my drawers, my art drawers, which you’d love because they’re all labelled, googly eyes, pipe cleaners…”
Insisting he has seen them, Phillip added: “Yeah it’s all beautifully done, beautifully labelled.”
This Morning airs weekdays from 10.30am on ITV.
