The pain of being blonde, by slimline Holly
HER increasingly slimmed-down appearance has entranced her fans over the past few months.
And now Holly Willoughby has shown off her transformation to full effect in a daringly short sequined dress for a television interview.
The daytime TV queen, 6, dazzled on The Jonathan Ross Show in the £1,400 Ashish rainbow mini-dress, which was a far cry from the demure outfits she usually wears to host ITV’s This Morning.
Yet while she was oozing confidence, Miss Willoughby admitted she used to struggle with ‘negative comments’ she received about herself early in her career, including about her blonde hair. She said: ‘A lot of people look at the blonde hair and this and that and the other and have a massive judgment on you.
‘When I first started in telly, I had a lot of negative comments about myself but then I realised I couldn’t be anyone else and actually the bits where I mess up or I’m just me seem to be the things that work.’
Miss Willoughby started out presenting children’s TV, including Feel the Fear and Ministry of Mayhem, before her career took a turn when she was chosen to co-host Dancing On Ice with Phillip Schofield.
She has presented This Morning with Schofield since 2009.
The Jonathan Ross Show airs tomorrow on ITV at 10pm.
