You’ll love Holly even more after this.
The popular TV presenter’s new ITV show Meet The Parents starts tomorrow night and to kick things off, she decided to share her own embarrassing account of when she first cooked for her husband’s mother.
Holly was keen to impress Daniel’s Mam who’s Italian and an “incredible cook” so she decided to go all out, using herbs and spices from her garden.
Part of the meal was a potato dish and so she decided rosemary was the perfect accompaniment.
However, and it’s a very easy slip-up to make, she picked lavender instead of rosemary and added it to the recipe.
Oh dear.
Holly explained how she was feeling “all wonderful”, preparing the fancy meal but things went rapidly downhill when they started eating.
“And then we bit into it, and it tasted really perfumed and really disgusting. I hadn’t actually chosen rosemary, I’d cooked with lavender. So that went down really well.”
The mother of three took to Instagram to share her funny tale while encouraging others to do the same using the hashtag #MeetTheParents.
To be fair, it could happen to anyone and we love Holly even more for sharing her awkward moment!
