Holly Willoughby reveals she relies on coloured scripts to help her overcome her dyslexia to present This Morning
The TV star has spoken about her reading disorder after being diagnosed as a child
HOLLY Willoughby has revealed she uses coloured scripts to help her present This Morning.
The stunning blonde has dyslexia, something she has been very open about before, but has never spoken about how she deals with her condition on a professional level.
Speaking to the Glasgow Post, the 36-year-old said she uses coloured scripts to help her prepare for the daytime show.
And she also revealed she makes advances checks on the autocue so she is up to speed with everyone.
But she also admitted that she worries for her three children as dyslexia can be hereditary and her mother can be just like her.
She said: “I do bear it in mind quite a lot. Although my mum hasn’t been officially tested she has very similar tendencies to me.
“I don’t know whether that’s hereditary or not, but I do think about that. Schools are so much more advanced in looking out for it than when I was at school.

“So if anything was to crop up it’d be noticed a lot quicker than it was with me. And children learn in a different way now.
"It makes a lot more sense to me and things are a lot more visual. I feel the ways of teaching are better.”
Holly has presented This Morning alongside Philip Schofield since 2009 – a job she said she wouldn’t have landed if it wasn’t for him.
She said: “I know for a fact that he was the one that mentioned me. He pushed for me to get the job in the first place. I totally owe him everything.”
