Holly Willoughby, the beloved host of Celebrity Bear Hunt, experienced a heartwarming and rare reunion on Michael McIntyre's Big Show. It was a moment that brought her to tears, as she was reunited with the woman who helped deliver her daughter Belle, 13 years ago.
During the show, Michael asked Holly if she remembered a special guest. After taking a moment to recall, Holly replied, "I think I might know, but I just want to be sure." Michael playfully teased her, saying that was the whole point of the game, and encouraged her to share her thoughts.
With a hint of emotion in her voice, Holly began, "I'm thinking we might have met each other... 13 years ago." She took a deep breath, trying to hold back her tears, and continued, "The reason why I'm saying 13 years ago is because that was the day my daughter Belle was born. And this amazing, incredible woman is called Fredette."
With confirmation from Michael and Fredette, Holly's suspicions were confirmed. Fredette was the midwife who had helped deliver Belle. Overwhelmed with emotion, Holly shared, "Fredette was so amazing because Belle was five weeks premature, so she was so tiny. I was so scared and worried, and I just remember Fredette saying, 'we're going to breathe this baby out.' And I just listened to you, and it was your voice that I heard when you said, 'Do you remember me?'" Holly's voice cracked as she expressed her gratitude, "I'll never forget your voice."
Fredette also shared her memories of that day, saying she never forgot Holly either, and how it was one of the scariest moments for any parent. Belle, who was backstage, was brought out by Holly, and she thanked Fredette for "bringing her into the world."
The reunion was an emotional one, with Holly rushing to hug Fredette after 13 years apart. Fredette, who had been a midwife since 1982, has now retired. After the show, Holly spent more time with her daughter and the midwife who had played such an important role in her life.
On Instagram, Holly shared photos of her and Belle hugging Fredette, and expressed her gratitude once again. She wrote, "And 13 years after bringing her into the world, Belle got a hug from the midwife who delivered her... so special! Fredette, thank you for everything you did for us on that day 13 years ago... you are an Earth Angel! And thank you for coming onto Michael McIntyre's Big Show and making that moment so unbelievably special."
Belle is Holly's only daughter and middle child, and she also has two sons with her husband Dan Baldwin. It was a heartwarming and unforgettable reunion for Holly, and the memories of that special day will always hold a special place in her heart.
