THIS Morning star Holly Willoughby has revealed the sweet quality her rarely-seen daughter Belle, ten, has got from her.
The TV presenter, who recently returned to our screens to host Dancing On Ice over the weekend, gushed over her “amazing” daughter in a new interview.

Holly, 40, revealed she was in awe of the youngster who she said had developed a deep sense of empathy which the star believes she shares.
She shares daughter Belle, as well as sons Chester, seven, and Harry, 12, with her husband Daniel Baldwin – with the family also owning puppy Bailey.
The mother-of-three told Grazia: “Empathy is a lovely thing. My daughter has it. She’s amazing, you can stick her in any situation.”
She added of her own emotions that she had to learn to “control” her sense of empathy after she was criticised for being tearful on This Morning.
“I had to control it in a way,” she explained. “I could empathise so much that the emotion would be rising up inside me and I would just start crying.
“It took me a really long time to feel comfortable and go, why? Why do we not do that? Why are you not allowed to feel emotion?”
It comes days after Holly was forced to hit back after she was labelled “wacky” over her new Wylde Moon website as she stunned in a new photoshoot.
While she admitted meditating with crystals and sound bowls isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, she hoped readers are inspired by her honesty and passions.
In the same interview with Grazia magazine, the mum-of-three reflected: “I think that people struggle with some of the ideas.
“The moment that I launched Wylde Moon, the word ‘wacky’ got used a lot.
“I expected that. And that’s fine. I can’t change that. I’m not here to force any of this on anybody. It’s not ‘come and meditate with me’ or ‘look at the moon and play a sound-bowl’.
“It’s please go and do that thing that makes your heart sing. Go and do you.”
The This Morning host says she’s to criticism and trolling in her TV job, but refuses to pander to people’s expectations of her.
Holly adds: “I’m not afraid of the reaction to it any more. If it doesn’t fit with what your thoughts and expectations of me are, well then there’s nothing I can do about it.
“I can’t change that. I don’t want to change that. And I’m not going to change that. This is me.”
On her site, which has echoes of Gwyneth Paltrow’s lifestyle brand Goop, explains how she rediscovered herself while filming I’m A Celebrity in Australia without her family.
Her online space also champions women, aims to nourish the soul, and give style tips.
Last year The Sun exclusively revealed entrepreneur Holly plans to flog hairdryers, rugs and cosmetics on her Wylde Moon site.
