ITV This Morning's Holly Willoughby stuns in Halloween-ready snap after confusing fans with 'gardening nails'

Holly Willoughby appeared to be embracing autumn and the impending arrival of one of the spookiest days of the year as she took to Instagram with a Halloween-ready snap. The This Morning host is currently absent from the ITV daytime show as she and co-host Phillip Schofield take their usual half-term break.

But it hasn't stopped her from posting on Instagram and the 41-year-old looked stunning in a patterned short-sleeve jumper designed in two shades of orange as she posed in front of an orange backdrop. Holly's blonde locks, which she recently kept at a longer length, could be seen falling over her shoulders as she posed with her chin in her hand while resting on a pumpkin atop a wooden table.

She was posing with her very own products from her lifestyle brand Wylde Moon including a series of candles, incense sticks and oils. The post came as the company launched an autumn giveaway.

And among people trying to enter to win their very own Wylde Moon bundle, Holly was getting some compliments. @itsuptocesca said: "You look BEAUTIFUL!" @suzy7249 wrote: "Lovely photo."

Meanwhile, Holly's latest post has also left fans baffled. The mum-of-three shared a video with her millions of followers appearing to show off her freshly manicured nails. In the video, Holly could be seen showing a close-up of her Halloween-themed nails with PattyCake's Hocus Pocus' I Put a Spell on You playing over the top.

She wiggled her hand in front of the camera as she grinned, clearly happy with her pamper. Alison Hammond was quick to reply: " Cute nails," but it appears not everyone agreed.

@helenpearson31 said: "Sorry it to me they look like you’ve been digging the garden." @j.butler730 posted: "It looks like you have dirty fingernails." @arutlandcowgirl echoed: "Look like dirty nails." @arter.kevin wrote: "Not a fan of that look I’m afraid looks like you’ve been gardening, just saying."

But some did agree with Alison. @allthingswills said: "Will there be a TM Halloween episode this year then. Love the nails. @hollywillsangels commented: "So cute holls." @russpjackson added: "Absolutely gorgeous." And they appeared to be a popular choice as many were saying they had the same or tagged their friends as Holly 'copied their look'.

Holly's latest video did cause a reaction (Holly Willoughby Instagram)

Holly and Phillip's break from This Morning came just after the pair led This Morning onto the stage to collect their latest National Television Award. The programme saw off competition from Loose Women, The Chase and The Repair Shop to scoop the gong in the Daytime category at the NTAs for a fifth year in a row.

A stunned Phillip put his head in his hands and appeared to hold back tears after This Morning was called as the winner by Strictly Come Dancing stars Ellie Simmond and Nikita Kumzin, while Holly looked equally as surprised and pleased as she immediately hugged her co-star and off-screen 'bestie'. When up on stage, an emotional Phil, 60, told the crowd and ITV viewers: "Don’t think we ever get complacent...

"And please don’t think we ever take this for granted. This means so much to us every year, especially this year. We have the most amazing team. I have the best friend, we have the best boss." Holly added: "Thank you so much, this award means everything because it is voted by you, and I think This Morning has a very special relationship with you. You make our show for us, you really do."
