Holly Willoughby, the former This Morning presenter, opens up about struggling with 'micro controls' which can trigger feelings of anxiety and sensitivity. In her book 'Reflections', she recounts an instance where her husband's seemingly harmless comment on a TV show caused her an unexpected outburst. She attributes this to internalized opinions and a heightened sensitivity to perceived control in her life.
Holly Willoughby admits she sometimes has an "disproportionately angry" reaction when her husband, Dan Baldwin, asks her harmless questions.
She discusses this particular brand of irritability in her memoir, writing: "One of the problems with micro controls is that they are insidious; they are often opinions we have internalised without realising, and it's so hard to point at them, to call them out. This means our anxiety and sensitivity about them is triggered in other ways by something that seems quite small and insignificant.
Holly believes it's crucial to reflect on "what the situation represents" rather than the actual events when she feels irritated. She interprets a "flippant" remark about the television as an attempt at "someone trying to control" her. The duo reportedly purchased their initial home together back in 2006 and celebrated their wedding reception at Amberley Castle in West Sussex, with Fearne Cotton serving as a bridesmaid and Dermot O'Leary among the groomsmen.
