      Pictured alongside her sister and three children, Holly wore a black swimsuit and denim hotpants as she carried a bodyboard to the beach. 
      It’s the first time the TV presenter has broken cover since her statement revealing former co-star and best friend Phillip “lied to her” about his affair with a much younger co-star.
      In a statement, 42-year-old Holly said last week: “It’s taken time to process yesterday’s news.
      “When reports of this relationship first surfaced, I asked Phil directly if this was true and was told it was not.

      “It’s been very hurtful to now find out that this was a lie.”
      Phillip – who presented This Morning alongside Holly for 14 years before their feud – apologised for lying in a statement last week – but didn’t mention Holly by name. 
       “I did have a consensual on-off relationship with a younger male colleague,” he said.
      “Contrary to speculation, whilst I met the man when he was a teenager and was asked to help him to get into television, it was only after he started to work on the show that it became more than just a friendship.
      Most read in Showbiz
      “That relationship was unwise, but not illegal. It is now over. When I chose to come out I did so entirely for my own wellbeing. Nobody ‘forced’ me out.
      “In an effort to protect my ex-colleague I haven’t been truthful about the relationship.
      “But my recent, unrelated, departure from This Morning fuelled speculation and raised questions which have been impacting him, so for his sake it is important for me to be honest now.
      “I am painfully conscious that I have lied to my employers at ITV, to my colleagues and friends, to my agents, to the media and therefore the public and most importantly of all to my family.
      “I am so very, very sorry, as I am for having been unfaithful to my wife.
      “I have therefore decided to step down from the British Soap Awards, my last public commitment, and am resigning from ITV with immediate effect expressing my immense gratitude to them for all the amazing opportunities that they have given me.
      “I will reflect on my very bad judgement in both participating in the relationship and then lying about it.
      “To protect his privacy, I am not naming this individual and my deepest wish is that both he and his family can now move on with their lives free from further intrusion.”
      The Sun revealed earlier today that Holly had fled the country to stay in her £8m holiday home in Portugal while on a break from This Morning. 
      Last night, Holly could be seen dining outside under a canopy-style roof at the restaurant with her parents, sister Kelly, and three children, at around 8pm.
      Holly wore a hat and sunglasses to keep a low profile and avoid being spotted by fans abroad.
      She had her youngest son Chester, eight, on her lap, as she ordered a drink from the waiter and tucked into some dessert.
      An onlooker said: “Holly is clearly trying to stay under the radar – they were dining when the sun was going down, and she was still wearing her hat and sunglasses.
      “The area is a holiday hotspot for Brits, so she is probably worried about being asked about the This Morning scandal.
      “At one point, Holly spoke at length to a waiter who it seemed like she knew personally.

      “She seemed to be having a great time – unlike her old pal Phillip.”
      Holly’s husband Dan Baldwin, 48, was not with them at the meal, nor was her eldest child.

      Kerry has called for better aftercare when appearing on TV shows, saying she hopes this will be a catalyst for change.
      Sharing a video from her bed, Kerry said: “I’m sure you all saw the interview I just done – that was a long time coming for me.
      “I think what I want from all of this is aftercare to change. You’d think after all of those years that I was on there, it would have done by now.
      “So tired and emotional, it’s just really because when that happened to me, people didn’t understand me.

      “People didn’t ask what medication I was on or what bipolar is.
      “It was not fair, I never once went on there and put Phillip down, it was more than that for me.
      “I’ve been crying as you can see as it was a massive purge of tears. I’ve been through a lot and that was difficult.
      “Let’s hope things change, we want better aftercare basically.
      Most read in Celebrity
      “We don’t want no d***heads, bullies, condescending p***ks, liars or phoneys.”
      Alongside the post, she wrote: “Not stopped crying!! This has been a very long time coming for me! I feel like I’ve purged so many tears of emotion! Let’s hope things change.”
      During yesterday’s interview, Kerry slammed Phil for having the “audacity” to ridicule her while she was taking bi-polar medication.
      Kerry says she was left suicidal after Phil accused her of “slurring” her words during an infamous appearance on This Morning in 2008.
      In the interview, Phil asks Kerry: “Your speech is a bit slurred, how are you feeling right now? Our phone is already going off up in the gallery from people asking is she ok.
      “We are merely pointing out someone who is very different from a few years ago.”
      Reflecting on the interview, she told GB News on Wednesday: “People don’t understand what that interview did to me emotionally.
      “When I did that interview, I was at rock bottom. You’d thought I’d murdered somebody.”
      She added: “Even now, when I go back to ITV – which hasn’t been very often – there is a sense of snobbery.
      “I tense up thinking I’ve got to impress them, I’ve got to watch my speech, I can’t slur.”
      Kerry insisted she was not speaking out to shout “karma” at Phil, but more to blast the “aftercare of ITV” which she said did not exist.
      Discussing Phil’s affiar, Kerry said: “I didn’t know [about the affair].
      “There were always rumours. I know his wife, I’ve met his two girls. And for me, my heart breaks for his wife. My heart and my sympathy goes out to his wife.
      “I met the young runner several times, lovely lad.”

      It comes as The Sun revealed the 61-year-old and his young lover used a £1million flat next to ITV’s studios for “playtime”.

      But legally she isn’t obliged to take part.
      It comes as ITV yesterday announced it will launch a review following Phillip Schofield’s admission he lied about an affair with a male This Morning worker.
      The presenter confessed he had been having an affair with a “much younger” ITV worker while still married to his wife Stephanie Lowe.
      In a statement, he said the affair was “unwise, but not illegal”.
      And he apologised for misleading his lawyers – adding: “I am painfully conscious that I have lied to my employers at ITV, to my colleagues and friends, to my agents, to the media and therefore the public and most importantly of all to my family.”
      And ITV has now instructed a barrister to carry out an external review, a letter written by chief executive Dame Carolyn McCall has revealed.
      In the letter, she said the company had been “badly let down” after Schofield’s assurances.
      She said: “The ITV employee was aged 19 when he first did work experience at This Morning in 2015 and 20 years old when he applied and succeeded in securing a job as a runner on the show.
      “He subsequently applied for and was successful in securing a promotion to Loose Women in 2019. He left ITV in 2021.
      “As you would imagine given the social media scrutiny of him, we have offered him our support throughout this period and indeed are still doing so.
      “The employee has made it clear that he does not wish to be named or identified in connection with this matter.
      “We would be grateful if you would be mindful of this.
      “The relationships we have with those we work with are based on trust.
      “Phillip made assurances to us and his agency which he now acknowledges were untrue and we feel badly let down.

      “We consider our approach was reasonable and proportionate at the time and in the circumstances.
