Holly Willoughby battled I'm A Celebrity nerves by putting crystals in her bra
TV star Holly Willoughby has revealed the unusual way she battled nerves on I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!
Holly Willoughby put crystals in her bra to help with stress on I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!
The 45-year-old presenter has recalled stepping in for Ant McPartlin when he took a break in 2018, and she was "s*** scared" about joining Dec Donnelly on the iconic ITV reality show.
Asked if crystals have healing properties, she told the Beauty Drop podcast: "I really, really do.
“I had a Tiger’s Eye that my friend gave me, this tiny little one, and I took it to the jungle with me when I went out there.
“And I was so s**t scared because obviously Ant wasn’t there and I was stepping into the biggest TV shoes you could possibly do, standing next to somebody that people are so familiar seeing with somebody else and it was utterly, utterly terrifying.
“And I had that in every pocket and in the bra of every outfit I wore. And honestly, it really helped me.”
Holly noted that she keeps crystals "on every flat surface you can possibly imagine” at her home.
Meanwhile, the former This Morning star previously revealed that she turns to food to cure a hangover.
Speaking on the Bottom's Up! podcast with Alan Carr and Lee Peart, she said: "I eat my way through the day. So it'll be like a fry-up, it'll be picky bits. I suddenly go really like eighties and I'm like scotch egg, pork pie, Marks and Spencer's picky bits.
"One of my favourite kind of guilty pleasures is those plastic cheese slices. Getting a square one, then you get a pork scratching, put it in the middle, fold it up like a little wonton."
Holly left This Morning after 14 years on the sofa in 2023 after it was revealed that she had been the victim of a horrific kidnap plot that saw Gavin Plumb, 39, jailed for life.
She ended up returning to presenting over the summer with the launch of her new YouTube show Together.
Holly said in a statement as she announced the show: "I’m so proud of the work all the team who make Together have put into this exciting new project. We’ve had a lot of fun developing it and look forward to seeing what you think."
