The stunning TV favorite, 45, blew open her sparkling daytime persona as she shared a booze-fueled, unfiltered chinwag over wine and cheese with comedy star Katherine Ryan.

And in a jaw-dropping moment of raw honesty, the former This Morning golden girl confessed to feeling a green-eyed monster surge through her when Katherine announced her own pregnancy in her 40s last year.

Speaking on the second episode of her sensational new show, Together, a breathless Holly gasped: “When I heard you were pregnant and having another one, I was like, ‘Maybe I should, maybe I should.’

“I was so jealous that you were doing it because I was like, ‘I should have done it.'”

The mum-of-three — who shares Harry, 17, Belle, 15, and Chester, 11, with husband Dan Baldwin — admitted with a heavy heart that she feels the “ship has now sailed” on expanding her brood.

Canadian comedian Katherine, 43, welcomed daughter Holland last October. But for Holly, hearing the news triggered a secret psychological battle about getting older and watching her own kids fly the nest.

“My kids are like the best thing that I’ve done, they’re the best thing,” Holly beamed. “I just look at them and I go, ‘Well done.’

“They are pretty brilliant, but they are now getting teenagery and I’m like okay, you’re going to go and have a life without me. I feel the pulling away and I find it really hard, I find that bit really, really difficult.”

In true chaotic mum fashion, Holly even had to halt filming mid-interview to take a phone call from her eldest son Harry — who rang begging for a quick £10 so he could rent a Lime Bike and head to the local pub!

Rolling her eyes as cameras kept spinning, Holly wrestled with her online banking app before declaring: “I’ll do it later!”

The frank heart-to-heart marks a dramatic transformation for the beloved star, who spent 14 years charming millions as Britain’s sweetheart on the ITV sofa.

Holly abruptly vanished from the spotlight back in October 2023 after a terrifying, twisted plot to kidnap her was uncovered by cops. The ordeal came just five months after This Morning was rocked by scandal when her long-time co-star Phillip Schofield quit after lying about an affair with a younger male colleague.

Now, after almost three years lying low, Holly is back with a vengeance — and she’s ditching the squeaky-clean image for good.

Her sensational digital comeback is already smashing the internet. The launch episode racked up a staggering 41,000 views on day one — completely crushing rival TV giant Richard Osman, whose The Rest Is Entertainment podcast hit just 29,000 views on the same day.

Reflecting on her years under the harsh spotlight, Holly confessed she is still scarred by the fear of brutal online backlash.

“I’m so terrified to have an opinion on anything,” she admitted. “I definitely don’t like upsetting anybody… I think I’m probably so terrified to say anything wrong because if you get it wrong, the backlash is so huge.”

Taking a vicious swipe at toxic cancel culture, Holly delivered a blistering metaphor: “It’s like a really horrendous game of pass the parcel. You’re waiting for it to land on you, but instead of opening it up and it being a present, you open it up and it’s someone’s s*** in your hands!”

The blonde bombshell also giggled as she recalled the moment her squeaky-clean image blew up in her face back in 2013, landing her in hot water with her own mum.

Recalling a night of wild antics on London’s posh King’s Road, Holly chuckled: “I got busted because I got really p***** and sat outside a bar… completely forgot the run of myself!

“There’s this photo of me with champagne in a bucket, talking to my friend, blonde hair, red lips and I’m like Patsy from Ab Fab!”

Brash, bold, and entirely unscripted, Holly Willoughby is officially back — and she’s holding absolutely nothing back!
