Holly Willoughby hardly ever shares photos of her children Harry, 11, Belle, nine, and Chester, five, but now she's posted a snap of her eldest child for an incredible reason.

The This Morning presenter uploaded a picture of Harry and revealed what her son has been reading during lockdown - The Boy At the Back of the Class.

"This is a great book for your kids to read... Harry says ‘highly recommended!’ #lockdownreading 📚 🐛

"@onjalirauf thank you for adding a new layer to our dinner conversation... just ordered The Star outside my window... 🌟".

The book itself is from a child's perspective and is about a boy named Ahmet who is a refugee. The book is full of humour and highlights the importance of friendship and kindness in children's lives.

Hundreds of Holly's followers rushed to reveal that they too either have or are currently reading the book, with one person writing, "Ahh my 12 year old daughter has just read this. She loved it and it also gave us lots to discuss!!! ❤️".

Someone else said, "Started reading this with my almost nine year old this week, we are enjoying learning together 💕".

Another said, "My girls both love this (eight and 11 years)! I've read it as well and have to agree with them that it is fabulous".

A fourth said, "My little man hounded me to get him this book when they started reading it in school. He's never read a book so quickly before x".

Holly also revealed that she's ordered The Star Outside my Window - another children's book that tackles the endless impacts of domestic violence and celebrates the power of hope and resilience.

Holly Willoughby recently opened up about her experience of motherhood and revealed what her biggest challenge has been.

"Becoming a mum was the only thing I knew I definitely wanted when I was growing up, but the image I had never involved me being a working mum. That’s the biggest challenge.

"I’ve been riddled with guilt about getting that part wrong. You love them so much and you don’t want to mess them up," she told Red.

The mum-of-three went on to add, "I didn’t do the drop-off because I was working. I hate that I wasn’t there because those memories you can’t get back."
