Dan proposed to Holly in 2006 when they moved in together, and they got married in 2007. Famous friends from TV all attended the ceremony, including Fearne Cotton and Dermot O’Leary.
Holly and Dan now have three children: Harry, 11, Belle, 9, and Chester, 6. The family live in an incredible £3 million home in London, which has six bedrooms, a huge family living room and a garden.
Holly has said that even after 14 years of marriage, they’re still going strong.
She said: “Marriage is something we have to work at. You’re an idiot if you think you just get married and then you tick along happily ever after for the rest of your life.
I mean obviously, I really love Dan. We really have a good laugh together and I don’t want to sound like a massive cliché but we get on really well… I rely on him for a lot of stuff. I think we just work better as a pair.”
What Else Is She Up To?
This year, Holly revealed that she has been busy writing a new book.
She announced the news on Instagram in April, saying: “The book is called Reflections and is essentially thoughts and musings from me on inner and outer beauty.
I hope this book will start conversations, whether they’re about how to find your signature lipstick, reclaim your sexuality, or treat yourself more kindly – and, ultimately, what it means to feel beautiful, confident, complete.”
