Holly Willoughby shared a rare photo of her grandmother in honour of her 90th birthday on Thursday - and her fans were amazed by their "amazing" resemblance. The This Morning presenter made a return to Instagram to post a sweet tribute to her "nanna", leaving her 3.8 million followers with no doubt of where she got her youthful looks from.
"Yes Nanna Willoughby... 90 today! Love ya!" Holly captioned the post, which showed her grandmother sat in an armchair holding a dessert with the words "Happy Birthday" written in chocolate. Holly's grandmother looked much younger than her 90 years, wearing a striped T-shirt, and her appearance was the subject of many comments from the TV presenter's fans.
