How did they meet?

In a Valentine’s post for her Wylde Moon Instagram account, Holly gave some rare insight into the early days of the couple’s relationship after they met at work in 2004.

She recalled that when they first met they embarked on an ‘intense friendship’ for several months, before it turned into love.

She said: ‘We met while I was doing Saturday morning kids’ telly and he was the producer and I was the presenter.

‘I’d already been there around eight months I think, and then he came in as our new producer and we started this real intense friendship – it was mad actually.

‘There was sort of two other guys that started at the same time, and we just became inseparable.

‘We’d rehearse, and then we’d go out afterwards, and then we’d end up… We were filming down in Maidstone Studios and we used to stay in a hotel there.

‘And you know everybody would go to the bar and then everybody would come back into either my room or their room and we’d all sit round just talking and laughing, and I just remember it just being such a fun time. I always describe that time as sort of my university years, really.’

She continued: ‘And this must have been six months of real intense friendship and I remember this one night we were in the bar.

‘I cheers’d Dan, and I remember my eye just caught him for a little bit longer than it should have done, and I looked at him, and thought oh my god, I fancy Dan Baldwin.

‘And it took me by complete surprise, and then the rest is history.’

Holly admitted: ‘Looking back on it now I think what I was thinking was an intense friendship was probably me falling in love.’
