Busy’s kids are called Cricket and Birdie, but she thinks it won’t negatively harm them so she laughs off her critics: “It’s weird people think my kids will be in therapy because of their names. Guys, my kids will be (in) therapy for lots of reasons, I’m sure.”

Holly named her daughter Rainbow but says there is a meaning behind it: “I have always loved the name Rainbow. There was a girl in my school a few years younger than me named Rainbow and I was so envious of her name because it was so pretty and unusual. She was perfectly normal, well-adjusted, sporty girl, by the way, so I’m not worried about my daughter being “traumatised” by having an unusual name.”
