Holly Willoughby opened up on This Morning about a mortifying time with her son Harry

This Morning viewers love Holly Willoughby for many different reasons; she recently broke down in tears during an emotional interview, she has great fashion sense on This Morning and of course she's honest.

The mum-of-three to Harry, seven, Belle, six and Chester, recently opened up on This Morning about the mortifying moment her son had a temper tantrum in public. During the ITV show, viewers were calling in to discuss their parenting problems. One mum revealed she struggles to control her eight-year-old daughter who regularly throws tantrums in public when she doesn't get her own way.

Aunt Deidre Sander then revealed that she should be firm and not give in to their children's behaviour and then Holly confessed that she could relate to the situation and brought up an uncomfortable memory she had with her son Harry.

Opening up, she admitted: "I had to do it with Harry once in the middle of Marks and Spencer's and I wanted to die.

"It was the worst thing. He just flipped and I thought if I take you out or I just cave or give in, I know you're going to do this again and again and again."

She continued: "I wanted the ground to open up because everyone was going 'Oh, there's that Holly Willoughby, she's not a very good mum is she'.

"I wanted to die but I tell you what he didn't do it again because he didn't get the reaction he wanted."

It may be embarrassing at the time but at least he's no longer having tantrums.

Phillip Schofield was recently horrifiedon This Morning after Katie Price said the N-word twice on live television. The mum-of-five appeared on the ITV show to discuss the next step with her petition about online bullying, while describing the racist messages she receives about her son Harvey, Phil had to step in and tell her not to repeat that word on air.

Eek!
