Holly Willoughby has broken her silence after being shoved out of the way by Kim Kardashian's security team at the Monaco Grand Prix, choosing to see the funny side of the awkward encounter.
Cheeky Social Media Response
The former This Morning star, 45, was among several A-list celebrities invited to the luxurious event to watch the Formula One race. She was joined by comedian Michael McIntyre, 50, as they enjoyed the high-speed action. However, Holly was pushed aside by Kim Kardashian's security while walking along the track to support new lover Lewis Hamilton.
Taking to Instagram, Holly shared a series of behind-the-scenes snaps and clips from her weekend in Monaco. In a cheeky dig, she referenced the incident when she was brushed aside by the socialite's entourage during a live interview on Sky Sports. Speaking with Michael, she said they were "so lucky to be here" when Kim arrived on the track, sweeping her aside.
Michael McIntyre's Dramatic Reaction
Surrounded by cameras, Michael beamed: "It's a wave! It's the Kardashians! I'm joining them!" He then followed the crowd, leaving Holly to be interviewed alone by presenter Natalie Pinkham. Michael eventually returned, joking that he had been injured in the stampede. "My back's gone, I think something belonging to Kim, I'm not mentioning anything, may have struck me in my lower back earlier," he said, "and I gotta tell you, it hurt!"
Holly laughed off the encounter in her caption: "What a weekend! Monaco you didn't disappoint." She thanked the team at Atlassian Williams for flying her out, adding: "Hard to pick a highlight: grid walks, hot laps (I will post this later, safe to say I wasn't built for speed) – all topped off by getting caught up in a Kim Kardashian fly past."
Fan Reactions
Fans praised Holly for taking the run-in so well. One wrote: "Saw you and Michael McIntyre nearly taken out by the Kim K team, looked incredible!" Another added: "Michael was mint! Surprised though he wasn't tackled to the ground by her security!" A third laughed: "The Kardashian wave was the funniest thing I've seen in a long time." And a fourth penned: "Omg not the Kardashian's incident..."
Holly's lighthearted approach to the awkward moment has won her praise from fans, who enjoyed her humorous take on the unexpected encounter at the glamorous event.
