During a phone-in about home-schooling, Holly asked the expert: "Can I ask a question on behalf of a working mum and parent of three who is struggling...?
"My big fear is that we've all worked really hard not to put our kids in front of screens.
"Now here I am with three children spending online learning in front of a screen, then when they finish they want to talk to their friends, again on a screen, then they might want to play and that's on a screen.
"I'm suddenly like, am I just throwing all this out the window and give up holding back the time of screen time."

The 39-year-old admitted last Friday she planned on sleeping through the whole weekend after a draining week of homeschooling.
She had sparked concern after she missed the first two episodes of the ITV show of the year, with co-host Phillip Schofield revealing that it was due to "childcare issues".

However she proved to be Super Mum as she successfully juggled work and looking after her three children amid the UK's third national lockdown.
But the busy schedule has clearly taken its toll, with Holly admitting she was exhausted.
