Television star Myleene Klass moved Loose Women viewers and her fellow panellists to tears as she delivered a raw and powerful account of the immense pressure facing modern parents.
The classicist and broadcaster broke down during a heartfelt discussion on the ITV daytime show, revealing the overwhelming 'guilt and juggle' that comes with balancing a career and family life, particularly during the long summer holidays.
'The Guilt and The Juggle is So Real'
Klass, a mother-of-three, explained the impossible choices parents are forced to make. 'You're damned if you do, you're damned if you don't,' she stated emotionally. 'You're working and you feel guilty for working. If you're not working, you feel guilty for not working.'
Her powerful testimony laid bare the financial and emotional strain of the six-week break, a period that can cost families thousands in childcare and activities.
A Nation Nods Along
The segment clearly resonated, with the official Loose Women X account sharing a clip of the moment, captioning it: 'This is why we need to talk about the school holiday struggle.'
Fans were quick to flood social media with messages of support and shared experience. One viewer wrote: 'Thank you Myleene for speaking for every working parent. It's so hard.' Another added: 'She's hit the nail on the head. The struggle is real and the guilt is endless.'
Myleene's brave and honest moment served as a stark reminder of the silent battles fought by parents across the UK every summer, sparking a vital national conversation about the support systems available to families.
