Holly Willoughby shared a series of playful photographs on social media, showcasing her holiday with her sister Kelly. The two siblings appeared remarkably alike, posing in matching gingham dresses. One snapshot, taken by their friend Abbey Clancy, captured the sisters in a warm embrace by a swimming pool.
Willoughby, 45, wore a red version of the summer dress, which featured a square neckline and frill sleeves, while her sister Kelly, 48, opted for a green and blue colorway of the same garment. Willoughby captioned the post, "She's my lucky star... @ladywilloughby @abbeyclancy." The photos received praise from friends, including Nicole Appleton, who commented, "beauties."
The holiday comes after Willoughby recently poked fun at her past televised appearances after partying too hard. In an episode of her YouTube show, "Together," she underwent a makeup tutorial to create a devil look. Donning dark contact lenses and heavy foundation, she quipped that she looked as though she had "woken up after the NTAs." Willoughby and her former "This Morning" co-host Phillip Schofield were known for arriving at the show worse for wear after attending the National Television Awards, with notable instances including being found slumped on the floor in 2013 and arriving in their previous night's attire in 2016.
During the devil makeup transformation, Willoughby applied red paint to half her face and attached prosthetic horns. "Look at my face. I did that. So good. I feel like we need to go out trick-or-treating now," she remarked. "Should we go scare the neighbours? Let's go scare the neighbours and all the dogs and everyone we can find. I mean, it's so clever."
The makeup artist on the show, Tiffany Hunt, shared her initial nerves about starting her social media career, admitting she initially used a pseudonym and feared ridicule. Hunt now boasts 800,000 followers on Instagram and over 3 million on TikTok.
In separate comments, Willoughby also revealed that her husband, Dan Baldwin, has encouraged her to purchase more vibrant lingerie. She joked that her current collection consists of "bras that are older than my kids" and are "not the colour of a cup of tea." Willoughby, who shares three children with the ITV producer, stated that her older lingerie pieces are relegated to the back of her drawer and are unlikely to be worn again.
Willoughby began her career in entertainment as a lingerie model, famously appearing in a Pretty Polly campaign in 1998. She revisited lingerie modelling in 2018 in preparation for the launch of her lifestyle brand, Truly, but withdrew from the project to focus on her broadcasting commitments.
