Holly is part of a law changing movement 💪💪💪
Holly Willoughby has teamed up with celebrities including Dermot O'Leary and Laura Whitmore in a video to mark Tuesday's new upskirting law, which she has supported since sharing her own experiences last year.
The mum-of-three opened up last year in an emotional Instagram post about how the paparazzi try to take photographs up female celebrities' skirts - including her own.
The post included a collage of press pictures from a night at the Brit Awards, which showed Holly, Louise Redknapp, Rita Ora and Laura Whitmore getting out of their taxis.
She wrote: "At the beginning of the night we held white roses and walked down a red carpet full of the hope and pride that comes with the #timesup campaign… at the end of the night, cameras were held low to get a photo up our skirts… times apparently up on #timesup 😔"
Holly has since supported Gina Martin, who has been campaigning tirelessly to make upskirting illegal - and today they can celebrate, as the law has been passed!

Holly spoke to Gina about the photogprahers on This Morning last year, saying: "They go really low, and then it's, 'grapples with her assets', and it's like, well that's not what was happening. I was trying to hide my modesty, and protect myself."
She added: "Well done you for being brave enough and making a stand. I’m right behind you, I hope that it makes a change, finally."

What is upskirting?
According to GOV.UK, upskirting is a highly intrusive practice, which typically involves someone taking a picture under another person’s clothing without their knowledge, with the intention of viewing their genitals or buttocks (with or without underwear). Upskirting is now illegal and perpetrators face two years in prison. If you’re a victim of upskirting, you should contact the police, speak to someone you already know and trust, or get in touch with a charity. Find more information on upskirting here.
