Holly Willoughby fans demand 'stop' as she's flooded with messages over latest appearance while brushing off latest blow

Holly Willoughby has been told she has 'never looked so perfect' as she stunned during her latest appearance on This Morning. The presenter was back at the helm of the ITV daytime show on Thursday (June 29) alongside Craig Doyle.

It comes after Holly brushed off the programme's latest blow weeks after she became embroiled in the Phillip Schofield scandal. The TV star has been pushing on as normal following her former friend and co-star's exit from the programme they hosted together for 14 years.

Now, weeks on, Holly has been continuing to host This Morning alongside the show's array of other hosts. Fresh from a two-week stint at the helm with Dermot O'Leary, viewers have this week seen Holly joined by Craig.

However, Holly and her fellow This Morning stars have been dealt a bit of a blow. The 2023 TRIC Awards took place on Tuesday (June 27) and the glitzy ceremony saw a host of Britain's best-known TV stars out in force as they celebrated the achievements of online and on-screen productions.

But the string of This Morning presenters avoided the ceremony and the popular programme also missed out on the Daytime TV gong to Channel 5's A Place In The Sun. However, a source told MailOnline that Holly had 'prior commitments' that meant she had to miss out on attending and representing the show.

Holly was back on the show on Thursday and as is her tradition, she took to Instagram before being seen on-screen to share a glimpse of her outfit for her last show of the week and shared details of where her fans and followers can get it from.

And the 42-year-old looked gorgeous in the white-based frock that had been adorned with blue floral patterns. The midi-length dress boasted adjustable straps that had been tied into bows, a straight neckline and a bodice that practically fitted to Holly's waist and curves.

Holly then paired the beautiful number with a pair of strappy nude heels and kept her trademark blonde locks styled in classic curls. "Morning Thursday… see you on @thismorning with @craigadoyle," she started the caption of her post to her 8.3 million followers before teasing what was to come on the show.

And it didn't take long for the compliments to come in for the star. @debsnbilly1982 said: "Stunning Holly and you with Craig really works." @jassietay959 commented: "Wow love this dress xx Also so love the pairing of you and Craig Doyle [100pc] better than O Leary."

@chrissy_bella_5_ replied: "Beautiful dress , you look lovely as usual." @josephine.morley61 wrote: "You look stunning as always. Your doing great holly. Big hug to you." @janettepearson commented: "That's a beautiful dress. You look stunning as always." @tobiasburgess96 shared: "Never seen you look so perfect." @unsworthmarj added: "Love the dress. Also, I love you and Craig."

Others, however, wanted to defend Holly as they notice comments about her weight including one whole said: "STOP commenting on ppls weight!!! Telling someone they’re too thin is as unkind as telling someone they’re too fat. It’s not your business and you know nothing of what’s happening in their life. Please stop it!! It’s nasty!"
