Holly Willoughby, has had an impressive ITV career with notable presenting roles on Dancing on Ice, This Morning and Celebrity Juice under her belt.

The 44-year-old will return to screen this weekend for the final of Dancing On Ice with her co-host Stephen Mulhern, which she has now been presenting since 2006.

Being such a high profile TV host who has lived her life in the spotlight for many years, Holly’s career is sure to come with some stressful moments.

However, it’s her husband, television producer Dan Baldwin, who provides a much-needed sense of humour behind the scenes, particularly during demanding times or moments when Holly could take herself too seriously.

In her book ‘Reflections’, Holly opens up about her relationship, confessing Dan’s talent for lightening the mood.

She said: “My husband makes me laugh all the time. He’s the master of defusing situations by reminding us both of the funny side.”

Dan’s comedic touch isn’t just helpful in the good times; it also comes in handy during conflict, as Holly explains: “If we’re having a disagreement about something, he can derail me and send me into giggles by saying something, and before you know it, the issue doesn’t seem quite so serious and we can resolve it with a more level head.”

Family life is another area where Dan’s humour plays a key role; Holly praises its benefits for their three children, Harry, Belle, and Chester.
