Holly Willoughby offers to send a printer to single mum struggling to homeschool
This Morning viewers were left emotional when Holly Willoughby made a sweet gesture.
There was a heartwarming moment on This Morning today, when Holly Willoughby offered to send her printer to a struggling viewer.
Mum June phoned in to speak to resident agony aunt Diedre about her homeschooling struggles after all schools in England were forced to close yesterday.
June explained she had three kids of all different ages and they only had one laptop to share.
She also spent hours the day before writing their worksheets out onto paper because her printer stopped working.
Mum-of-three Holly was quick to offer her own advice, telling the struggling parent to be kinder to herself and remember that she is not a teacher and can only do her best.
When Phillip Schofield then suggested she reach out to a friend to borrow their printer, Holly, 39, offered her own.
She said: “I have a spare printer you can have!
“My printer broke so I bought a new one, and then the old one booted up again, and now I just keep banging my leg on it.”
The presenter added: “Stay on the line, give your address and I will bring it in tomorrow and we’ll get it sent to you.”
“Aw, thank you so much Holly,” June replied.
