ITV This Morning's Holly Willoughby looks adorable in throwback snap with lookalike dad and sister

Holly Willoughby couldn't look any cuter as she posted a throwback photo from her childhood. The This Morning host took to Instagram to share the adorable snap to mark Father's Day on Sunday (June 19).

It showed a young Holly, with her brunette locks, smiling for the camera and holding a soft toy alongside her older sister Kelly, who was sweetly smiling across at her younger sibling while holding a toy doll, either side of their dad, Brian.

"Happy Father’s Day to the best there is… we LOVE you," Holly captioned the sweet post which she shared with her millions of followers.

And fans found it just as cute. @welshy_80 commented: "This is the absolute CUTEST and reminiscent of many of my childhood photos." @christmas_cheer1988 wrote: "Wow look at mini you." @jac_laird said: "Awwwww you look like your Dad so much."

@mellairs71 replied: "@hollywilloughby omg so cute.. and your dad has a look of the Schofe." @vickyd_81 shared: "Awwwwwww @hollywilloughby how cute." @george_mae_ said: "Gosh u look like your dad." @julie.boyle.391 added: "You have your Daddys eyes and smile."

Others, however, don't think Holly has changed much over the years. @victoriafrid_x said: "So cute! Can see which one is you." @stevegoldhillsnr commented: "Holly, you haven't changed much." @sangita.chopra.12 echoed: "You have not changed Holly."

Back in March last year, Holly had fans talking when she shared a photo of her dad and her mum, Linda, to mark their anniversary. The throwback photo had fans scratching their heads when she posted the same message but this time with a picture of Courtney Cox and Tom Selleck from the hit American sitcom Friends.

The 41-year-old was joking about her parents' resemblance to their characters Monica Geller and Richard Burke, but many followers were confused while also 'crying' at people mistaking the latter phot for Holly's parents.

Then in June 2021, Holly praised her dad, Brian - particularly his life motto. "My dad is amazing," she said, "Everything is 'The Best' That's my dad’s motto - 'This tea is the best.' When we were kids we used to get the train to London and he would say, 'Oh, it’s the best'.

"And he just has the most positive outlook on everything, everything is the best so I love that about him because if you go through life thinking everything is the best then you’re never disappointed are you?" She added: "It's a lovely way to live and he is the best so it suits him."
