Holly opened up by saying: "The problem with mums, particularly working mum guilt is I’m feeling guilty because I'm not there to drop my kids off in the morning because I have to go to work."
She continued: "What I'm feeling guilty about is that in some way I’m clearly telling myself I clearly don’t love my kids because I love my career more than my children, which is why I’m choosing to do this."
She concluded: "I know that's not the case, I know I love my kids more than anything on this planet."
