Holly Willoughby detailed the beginning of her relationship with her husband Dan Baldwin on her blog
The ‘This Morning’ presenter admitted it was a quick journey for her and the 48-year-old TV producer to become “inseparable” after they met on the set on a children’s programme they worked on together in Kent.
Writing on her lifestyle brand Wylde Moon’s Instagram page, the 41-year-old broadcaster 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.'
Holly - who has son Harry, 13, daughter Belle, 11, and son Chester, eight, with Dan - admitted to being taken by “complete surprised” by her feelings for her future hubby.
She added: "And this must have been six months of real intense friendship and I remember this one night we were in the bar.
"I cheersed 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.
"Looking back on it now I think what I was thinking was an intense friendship was probably me falling in love."
"I think that's a really good basis for romance because we have that friendship still now and we have three beautiful children, and we're very happy and I'm very blessed every day for having him in my life.”
