In a health segment on Thursday morning's This Morning, the 35-year-old revealed she had to have her limbs stretched as she was born with short tendons.
'When I was a kid, my tendons were really short. I had both legs put in plaster for six weeks to try and stretch it out. I had a lot of physio.

Telling all: Holly Willoughby revealed she had to have both legs in plaster when she was a teenager - she had previously walked on her toes because her tendons were too short
'I had a little thing put in my shoe, like a little in-step to stop the arches, my step wasn't right. Rest assured, for me, having gone through that and the physio, I am absolutely fine now.'
Holly's words came as viewers called in to talk about their own health problems - and one lady revealed her child had the same condition.
But the television presenter was able to offer some comfort when she said her problems were able to be fixed.
