One wrote: "Lucky you had flour, can't buy any for love nor money here," while another wrote: "Lucky lady, I'd sell a kidney right now for some yeast, can't get any from anywhere!" Others praised Holly's baking skills, with another adding: "Next step – Celebrity Bake Off!" while a fourth commented: "Wow, that looks amazing Holly. Well done on making it. Enjoy."

And although Holly loves her job as a TV presenter, there's nothing she prefers more than being a mum. She previously spoke about motherhood during an interview with HELLO!, saying: "It wasn’t like when I was at school I thought, 'Oh, I’m going to be this big career girl.' Being a mummy is definitely my most favourite job of all, without a shadow of a doubt." Speaking about balancing her work with looking after her children, she added: "Essentially I just have a job and children, though. I have the same issues as the next person, but I do feel very lucky that I’ve been blessed with three lovely children and that I look forward to going to work because I know a lot of people don't feel like that. If I’m going to get up and leave the kids in the morning then it has to be for something that I care about, or feel passionate about – and I’m lucky to be able to do that."
