Holly Willoughby crowned 'Mum of the Year'
Friday 05 November 2010
Holly Willoughby has been voted ‘Celebrity Mum of the Year’.
Her co-presenter, Phillip Schofield, gave her the award just days after she announced that she was pregnant with her second child live on air.
32,000 people voted in the competition run by Bounty.com, previously won by Kym Marsh.
Bounty.com’s spokeswoman, Faye Mingo, told the Metro: "We are overjoyed that Holly has won. Holly is a great example of being a working mother and having it all. Holly's career is going from strength to strength, from her clothing range to presenting yet she still maintains balance in her family life.’
Holly, 29, beat the likes of Dannii Minogue and Coleen Rooney and Samantha Cameron to the post.
Despite leading the poll at the first, Coleen’s chances were dashed after she left son Kai at home to go on a 7* holiday to Dubai with husband Wayne.
Bounty.com, which runs the contest, told The Sun: ‘Mums could not relate to her lifestyle.’
Holly, married Dan Baldwin in 2007 after they met on the set of Ministry of Mayhem and the couple had their first child, Harry, last May.
The beaming presenter told OK! Magazine: ‘I’m feeling really well. Really well actually. I’ve only had a couple of days of morning sickness. And I didn’t have any sickness with Harry ether. I had the big scan on Friday and final results through this morning and everything is all fine I think.’
But Holly isn’t the only one with baby news this week; Emma Bunton has announced that she is also expecting her second child with partner Jade Jones.
The star of former Spice Girls fame wrote on Twitter: ‘So our family grows, we are SO excited to announce we're having our second baby and Beau's wish for a brother or sister has come true.’
Now everyone say a big “aawwww”. We just hope that the Dancing on Ice stylists are ready to hide those beautiful bumps!
So what do you think? Was Holly was the rightful winner?

i dont think there is a rightful winner i think this mum of year competition is wrong tbh! who decides and judges whether someone is a good mum or not! half the time they have nannies that do all the hard stuff anyway.
real mums of the year are ones that get up, take their kids to school, do a hard days work and then run the home!

I know what you mean sugar sweet but i do like Holly. She married an average man and doubt he gets much outside help, i think she won because she juggled her career and being a mum so well.

Agree with you sugar sweet. This competition leaves me a bit uncomfortable tbh. who know's these people who win every year are great parents? I love Holly, and have no doubt she is a great mum, but to win an award when you are so privaliged and wealthy and no doubt, as has already been said, probably have nannies etc that none of the rest of us have seems a bit wrong.
