“I feel your pain, I’ve got my little niece who I have not met at all,” she told the viewer.
“I keep looking at her in photos and she’s getting bigger and I’m thinking I am never going to get that time back and you miss them so much,” she added.
The news came after Holly showed fans how she dyes her own hair at home.
