The star revealed she has always dyed her own hair and her glossy blonde tresses are the result of a box dye during an Instagram tutorial. 

The TV presenter took to the social media app to post a step-by-step tutorial of how she manages to keep her hair platinum blond during lockdown.

Holly anticipated people would question how she managed to get her locks dyed during lockdown, while all hairdressers have been forced to shut down.

The mother-of-three joked she knew people would tell her she was ‘doing it wrong’, however she insisted it’s the way she always does her own hair.
