Holly Willoughby toasts with fizz as she enjoys luxury Christmas trip with famous pals

Holly Willoughby made sure she spent her time off getting into the festive spirit as she enjoyed a special Christmassy day out with her famous pals. The This Morning star took to Instagram to share a glimpse at her day with her closest girlfriends, including Spice Girl Emma Bunton and All Saints' Nicole Appleton.

The video, made up of photos and clips which Holly posted to her millions of Instagram followers, showed the group heading off the train station where they boarded a luxury train, or more specifically the Bellmond British Pullman train, where they sipped champagne, and enjoyed a personal performance from The Spitfire Sisters.

The video also showed Holly, 41, and her close pals tucking into some delicious-looking food while appearing to be enjoying themselves immensely, enjoying a giggle, pulling crackers and singing along to the festive tunes.

Alongside a montage of their trip she wrote, "All aboard the Christmas Train… dreamy day with my girls @ruby1kid @emmaleebunton @shishib #nikidemetz …" But there was one member of the girl gang missing as the presenter added: "We missed you @christinelampard."

Emma also shared the video and told her fans: "Special day with my gorgeous girls." Nicole was quick to respond to Holly's post, writing in the comments: " Just wonderful!! Love you! And my fabulous girls!" And fans were also sharing comments with the mum-of-three.

@lynduffield said: "Aww looks like you had a good time." @thamesrockets commented: "What a wonderful experience!" @katestreeter6 wrote: "So brilliant!..we went on that recently it was amazing." @lisa2845 replied: "Oh wow absolutely beautiful." @janemhdg added: "Ahhh so jealous would love to do something like this. Merry Christmas."

Others, however, were distracted as they spotted Emma had snuck off earlier from her appearance on Channel 4's Sunday Brunch. @beanlandemma asked: "Did Emma bunton go straight from Sunday brunch?!!#sameclothes." mrsposthuma_ wrote: "Er Emma Buntin said she left Sunday Brunch to rehearse!" @jade.paterson.142 said: "So much for Emma leaving Sunday Brunch early to rehearse for her upcoming show."

Holly's festive day out comes after she paid a visit to Paris for just 24 hours. The presenter looked stunning in a little black dress as she spent a day away in the French capital as part of her commitments with Garnier.

She posed in the shoulderless black frock with long sleeves, teamed up with black tights and black pointed heels. Sharing a series of photos to her 8.1 million Instagram followers, Holly wrote: "Paris J’adore" with a black heart emoji and her friends and fans were quick to compliment her in the comments.
