As soon as Michael asked Holly to identify the woman next to him on stage, the Dancing on Ice presenter said: “I’m thinking that we might have met each other 13 years ago, and the reason why I’m saying 13 years ago is because that was the day my daughter Belle was born.”.
And Fredette was so amazing because Belle was five weeks premature so she was so tiny, and I was so scared and worried and… I just remember, Fredette, I just remember you saying, ‘We are going to breathe this baby out.
Michael then turned to Fredette, who delivered Holly’s second child - the star also shares one younger son and one older son with her husband of 17 years, Dan Baldwin.
The star shared some quiet words with Fredette which weren’t picked up by the show’s audio, but could be heard as she said “Thank you for coming and doing this, it’s really special,” while holding back tears once more.
After a moment of running backstage Holly appeared on stage with Michael and Fredette, and grabbed the woman into a long hug.
