Holly Willoughby fans couldn't help but feel like someone was missing as she posed with her famous girl 'gang'. After finishing up her duties on This Morning for the week, the presenter headed out to celebrate friend and Spice Girl Emma Bunton's birthday early.
The pair headed out for a girly catch up on Thursday (January 19) ahead of the singer's 47th birthday on Saturday (January 21) and were joined by some other familiar faces. Loose Women's Christine Lampard and All Saints singer Nicole Appleton were also enjoying the fun as part of Holly's main circle of friends.
Shiarra Bell, who is head of artist relations at Universal Music and wife of Ride rocker Andy Bell, and PR guru Niki de Metz completed the all-girl line-up as they got together to celebrate Emma's birthday at a fancy restaurant.

Holly, 41, took to Instagram with a snap of the group as they got together for the first time since their Christmas outing last month. The mum-of-three looked gorgeous in a yellow jumper with her freshly cut blonde locks styled into soft curls. Meanwhile, birthday girl Emma donned a patterned shirt which she teamed with a black beret.
"My gorgeous girls… happy early birthday @emmaleebunton," Holly captioned the snap to her more than eight million followers. Nicole was quick to respond, writing: "Love you all millions!" while Christine shared a string of heart emojis. However, it was Holly's This Morning co-star Alison Hammond whose comment caught attention.
"I want to be in this gang," she penned alongside a love heart eyes emoji. And Holly was quick to agree, writing: "any time babe…" in response. But fans who hadn't seen the exchange had already demanded that Alison be included in the girly outings.
@tillymint.cowie said: "Alison Hammond needs to be in this gorgeous group of women. Please can this happen." @joclare10 echoed: "Alison Hammond to complete."
Others, however, were simply loving seeing the group together. @etsewingwithabeygale wrote: "90’s me is screaming that Baby spice is friends with an All Saint! This isn’t allowed, they have to be rivals." @boothy_1984 said: "Some line up that." @klchown commented: "You all look gorgeous! Happy birthday @emmaleebunton beautiful as ever!"
