Holly Willoughby told mum could be her sister as fans left stunned by gorgeous snap

Holly Willoughby was inundated with comments after she shared a selfie alongside her mum with her millions of social media followers to mark Mother's Day on Sunday (March 27). The This Morning host, 41, wrote a special message to mum, Lynn, alongside the snap on Instagram.

It's not the first time the 73-year-old, who is also mum to Holly's older sister Kelly, has appeared on Holly's page. Alongside her latest post Holly, who is also a mum-of-three herself, simply said: "Happy Mother’s Day to the best… love you so much mama… "

And fans were quick to comment on the stunning snap about how Holly was the 'image' of their mum and even said the pair, who are 32 years apart in age, could be sisters. @sandra_26_61 commented: "Image of each other," while @ollah1979 wrote: "You could be sisters."

"You are a double of your mum Holly lovely photo.xx," @sarahlottie1977 said with @sapphire1950 writing: "Mini me or what. Absolute double of your beautiful mumma.

@maplehouseandlodge commented: "Twins! So lovely," as @parsonsperry318 added: "The apple doesn’t fall too far from the tree. Lovely photo." Holly's mum's age actually surprised her followers in May last year when the presenter shared a birthday tribute to her 'mamma', again on Instagram.

She was helping her mum celebrate her 73rd birthday in a restaurant after being kept apart for months due to the coronavirus restrictions put upon us all in 2020. She shared a clip of her beautiful mum with her millions of followers as she blew out her birthday cake's candles.

Holly's sister Kelly also shared a selfie on her Instagram page of herself with her mum as they beamed for the camera and said: "Happy 73rd birthday to the love of all our lives...my wonderful age defying mumma...Lynn," she said alongside the snap which got people making the same age comments.

On Sunday, Holly also shared a look at her own Mother's Day morning with her children Harry, Belle, and Chester - who she shares with TV producer husband Dan Baldwin, before heading to host the final of Dancing On Ice. She posted a picture on Instagram of her kitchen table inside her £3m south west London home.

It featured a plate of pancakes that had 'Holly' marked into them and a mug of coffee, which also had her name written on, with yellow flowers also adorning the table alongside a plate of lemons and sugar for the delicious-looking pancakes. "Nothing says Happy Mother’s Day more than your name on a Pancake… thank you Harry!" she wrote alongside the post before adding another picture of her daughter's plate across the table.

"Belle likes pancakes with her cream… Happy Mothers day to you and yours," Holly said as a can of squirty cream and tub of chocolate spread could be seen in front of Belle, whose face couldn't be seen as Holly keeps her kids out of the spotlight.
