Holly: My big regret
JAMIE Murray has told how he was blocked from selling some of his tennis memorabilia online over fears he was an imposter.
The seven-times Grand Slam doubles champion set up an ebay account to auction towels he had collected from top tier tournaments to raise money for NHS charities.
But when he and wife Alejandra started posting photos of the items their account was shut down over concerns it was fake.
Jamie said: “We put about seven or eight towels up and we got an email from ebay saying we had been shut down.
“I guess they didn’t believe that it was us.”
An ebay spokeswoman said: “We have reached out to Jamie Murray to ensure, should he want to list these items for charity again, he can continue raising money for this great cause.”
Jamie has amassed a huge number of towels from Wimbledon, the French Open, the US Open and the Australian Open during his career.

HOLLY Willoughby admits she feels “riddled with guilt” after missing her children’s first days at school while hosting ITV show This Morning.
The 39-year-old presenter says she has found juggling her career and motherhood a “challenge”.
■
And she praises her telly producer husband Dan Baldwin for sharing the responsibilities for their children, Harry, 11, Belle, eight, and Chester, five. “Becoming a mum was the only
■
thing I knew I definitely wanted when I was growing up,” Holly told Red magazine.
■
“But the image I had never involved me being a working mum and that’s been the biggest challenge.
“I’ve been riddled with guilt about getting that part wrong.
■
“You love them so much and you don’t want to mess them up.”
Holly admits she “hated” missing her two eldest children’s first days of school due to her work schedule. She said: “The truth is, I didn’t do the drop-off on Harry’s or Belle’s first day of school because I was working.
■
“I hate that I wasn’t there because those are memories you can’t get back.
“But I’ve realised the only way that I can combat those feelings is to accept that sometimes I don’t get it right – and that’s fine.
■
“And I’m lucky that I can be there every day to pick them up and at weekends.”
