Revealing an exciting "first" involving her little ones, ahead of her return to This Morning, she told ITV: "For me, when I come back in September I'm ready to start again. It's a real re-set for me," she told ITV, adding: "Like Phil said, firstly it's not waking up to an alarm which is the best thing!
"You're waking up either when the children walk in - but even they are starting to lie in now which is really nice – I've suddenly hit that sweet spot!"
She continued: "It's only just happened though, so this summer is the first time I could go downstairs in the morning for a cup of tea and nobody was awake, which was exciting!"
Holly also explained how important taking a break with her family is to her. "School term time is really busy for [the kids], and in telly land it's as busy as ever too, now that the world has opened up again - there's so much more stuff to do! It's all lovely of course, but it is nice to get that marker in the sand."
