Holly Willoughby got the weekend started early on Thursday, with a day out alongside two of her closest friends. The mum-of-three met up with All Saints singer Nicole Appleton and another friend, Nikki, for drinks after finishing her presenting duties on This Morning for the week.
The 37-year-old took to Instagram to post a photo of the trio posing together in a London bar writing: "My girls... suddenly the sun shines a little brighter." The same photo was shared by Nicole, who said they were missing the rest of their group - Spice Girls singer Emma Bunton and Shiarra Bell.

Sharing a short announcement on Twitter on Tuesday, Holly wrote: "After much consideration, I have made the decision to step away from Truly. To launch a brand needs total dedication and at the moment, with so many other commitments, this is not something I feel I can do without it starting to affect my family time at home. I wish Truly all the success for the future."
