Holly Willoughby felt she 'wasn't up to' This Morning job and had 'imposter' syndrome

Holly Willoughby has recalled how she felt she "wasn't up to" hosting This Morning at the start of her career after critics doubted her ability to handle political segments.

The presenter, 41, who joined the ITV show in 2009, recalled how her confidence was knocked after a "dreadful" interview with then-Prime Minister Gordon Brown shortly after she had joined.

Now more than a decade into the job, Holly admitted during her first few years on the show she experienced "imposter syndrome" and would let Phillip Schofield, 60, take the lead with interviews with politicians.
