Holly Willoughby issues apology after Glastonbury appearance

Holly Willoughby has said she is "so sorry" to fans after spending a long weekend at Worthy Farm.

The This Morning presenter arrived at the huge event, where she partied with her husband Dan Baldwin and some friends, by helicopter. After the festival, Holly sent an email to many of her fans.

Followers of her wellness brand Wylde Moon received the message, which began: "Hi. How are you feeling today? So sorry I am a day late with this newsletter.

"I went to Glastonbury for the first time in years and made the most of every minute. What a weekend! Did you go? Or did you see any of it from the comfort of your own sofa to avoid having to share a loo with 200,000 other people?!"

Holly was missing from her role on This Morning on Monday after being spotted at Worthy Farm this weekend. Josie Gibson stepped in for the star, joined by Craig Doyle.

Holly said going to Glastonbury made her "feel 20 again", describing it as being "as if you’ve entered a world that encourages you to leave life’s worries and responsibilities at the gate and let your hair down."

She continued: "Thanks to the amazing weather, Glastonbury also gave great moon…beginning the weekend as a sliver of a moon that built to almost a half-moon by the end. I kept looking up at the night sky during the headline acts to see Mama Moon in all her glory, presiding over all of us. It’s so rare in the UK to have clear skies on consecutive evenings to watch her move through her phases. What a treat. This week brings us the Waxing Gibbous Moon, the lunar phase of reflection. I should think I’ll be doing a lot of reflecting and reminiscing this week given all the memories we’ve just made.

"When I think back, the feeling of being part of the crowd who witnessed Elton John perform his farewell show, is so humbling. ‘I Guess That’s Why They Call it the Blues’ is such a special song for Dan and I and I’m filled with nostalgic warmth when I remember all the moments we’ve listened to it together.

"Pure magic. Ok, I’ll stop with the Glastonbury gushing now…it’s time to get on to the important part!"
