The Xtra Factor!
Holly attended a launch for her new maternity range on Tuesday at the very swanky Claridge’s hotel in London’s Mayfair. Whilst everyone nibbled on funky decorated cupcakes washed down with fresh orange juice (it was first thing in the morning, after all!) Holly got a good grilling from a few journalists, and made a special announcement about her X Factor future.
Holly revealed that she’ll not only be returning to work after the baby arrives in May, but also confirmed that she HAS signed up to take part in this year’s Xtra Factor.
Holly said: “I am going back to do all of X Factor. I’ll be bringing the baby with me wherever I go. There aren’t that many female TV presenters out there, so I can understand why there would be speculation about someone taking over the role. But I’ll be going back. I really love the show.
“It’s two days here, two days there, so there are breaks. My mum will be coming to help, and Dan’s mum.”
And maybe Dermot, Louis and maybe even Simon might lend a hand with nappy-changing duties…
Check out snaps from the launch HERE.

Jane Cantillon says
Can’t see Simon changing nappies Lol good luck with the baby.

Fantastic love you on xtra factor good luck with baby
mummyh says
Great news that you will be back on the Xtra Factor. It will be challenging but having the baby there with his or her doting grannies gives you the best of both worlds. They are easily portable at that age and only really need food and cuddles.
Make sure you get rest when you need it, though – you need to look after yourself and please don’t, for the sake of all women out there, feel pressured into being back into little skinny outfits 10 minutes after giving birth. You are looking gorgeous during your pregnancy and as viewers we want to see you looking radiant, happy, and unstressed.

Hey Holly!
I hope the recent announcement of you replacing Fern Britton on This Morning won’t have an impact on your presenting of The Xtra-Factor.
I look forward to seeing you on TV either way though, here’s hoping that Celebrity Juice will be back again soon, as I’m loving the re-runs of series two all over again!
Much love, and God bless,
Benjamin xXx

Jackie says
You were very good last night and tonight but I don’t agree with the comments regarding the twins, they really can’t sing and should’ve gone out. They should never have been put through in the first place, also don’t like what they’ve done to Stacey’s hair. Horrible style/colour.
Holly Brown- the wirral says
