Holly Willoughby has revealed that she gets her inspiration as a working mother from none other than Great British Bake Off judge Mary Berry
The TV presenter was speaking on a panel discussion this week about the pressures of juggling a career with family life when she cited the 77 year-old as one of her role models.
'Mary Berry was one of the first women to have a family and fulfilling work life. She tried to strike a work/life balance at a time when it wasn't accepted.'
Asked who she looks up to, the mum of two said: “My mum because she's amazing. Also Mary Berry who I got to meet recently.”
“She was one of the first women to have a family and fulfilling work life. She tried to strike a work/life balance at a time when it wasn't accepted.”
Holly is not the only celebrity to declare their adoration for Mary Berry this week with Prince William admitting his pregnant wife is a “huge fan” during a charity visit.

32 year-old Holly Willoughby also divulged details of her schedule, revealing that she has been allowed to cut her hours down to four days a week so that she has Fridays off for “family time.”
She said: “Every part of my day is planned. I'm lucky I can set my own ground rules. My kids can come to work if need be.”
Her typical day starts at 6:30am when she travels to the set of This Morning and ends at 5pm, after she has worked on her Very range.
“Every part of my day is planned. I'm lucky I can set my own ground rules. My kids can come to work if need be.”
She said: “I make sure I finish at 5pm though so that I'm home for dinner and bath with the kids in the evenings.”
“I like to relax with a glass of wine a couple of times a week,” the Celebrity Juice star admitted.
