Holly Willoughby's A-list pals share sweet messages as she celebrates birthday
Holly Willoughby has been flooded with birthday messages from her celebrity friends.
The former This Morning host is looking forward to a new year as she celebrates her 43rd birthday. She has had a tumultuous last 12 months from quitting the ITV daytime show after 14 years to being at the centre of a kidnap and murder plot. Holly has since made a triumphant return to TV screens for Dancing On Ice, after spending months out of the public eye.
The mum-of-three was celebrated by her famous pals as she marked her birthday. Spice Girls star Emma Bunton took to her Instagram to post a selfie with Holly and Michael McIntyre. She wrote: "Happy birthday my beautiful friend @hollywilloughby." Nicole Appleton also shared a tribute to the presenter.

Love you more than a Tommy’s Margarita … can’t say it any clearer than that! Have the best day." Earlier in the week Holly made an appearance at a charity gala.
She headed on a night out with her friends at the Love GOSH gala dinner for Great Ormond Street Hospital on Thursday evening. Holly thanked her friend and makeup artist Patsy O'Neill for accompanying her to the event as she looked gorgeous in a black cut-out gown with silver sequins.
Holly had also reunited with her former This Morning co-star after quitting the show last year. The Dancing on Ice star enjoyed a cosy night with chef Clodagh McKenna as the pair enjoyed a meal together.

Clodagh has been part of This Morning's team for a number of years.
Four months ago, Holly quit This Morning as she revealed she needed to put her family first after an alleged kidnap threat. At the time, she wrote: "I have let ITV know today that after 14 years, I will not be returning to This Morning. To everyone who has ever worked on the show over the years, thank you so so much. This is such a difficult goodbye, you are incredible and I forever will be proud of what we’ve done together. Thank you to everyone at ITV for being supportive. To every guest who has sat on our sofa, thank you.
“Most of all, thank you to the wonderful viewers. You’ve been so loyal, so supportive and the very best company every day. Richard and Judy said, ‘We only look after this show, it will always belong to the viewers'. It’s been an honour to just be part of its story and I know this story has many chapters left to go. Sadly, however, I now feel I have to make this decision for me and my family. I will miss you all so much."
