After reading what her followers had to say about her dodgy spelling, she updated:

"Thankyou for flagging up my spelling, I am dyslexic, and don't have time to spell check everything, you may just have to overlook it..."

Holly had previously mentioned how the condition caused her to struggle academically:

“I’d torture myself wondering why school was so hard,” she said. “I’d often get the letters back to front or even upside down.”

Other celebs suffering from the disorder include Tom Cruise, Cara Tointon, Orlando Bloom and chef Jamie Oliver, who had also previously hit back at a fan who mocked his spelling on Twitter.
