Holly Willoughby has posted a sweet snap to social media to wish her mother a happy birthday.

The presenter, 40, shared a video of mum Lynn blowing out her birthday cake's candles as she celebrated her 73rd birthday.

Holly captioned the post: "Happy birthday beautiful mamma ... love you."

Lynn was seen beaming at the camera as she elegantly wore a blue spotty dress.

And the video had friends and followers in a spin as they couldn't quite believe how youthful Lynn looked.

Kate Thornton commented: "Happy birthday Lynn! And I’ll have whatever you’re having, you look incredible."

Kelly wrote: "Happy 73rd birthday to the love of all our lives…my wonderful age defying mumma…Lynn."

Friends and fans also headed to Kelly's post to share their wishes and showcase how shocked they were about Lynn's phenomenally youthful looks.
