February 11, 2023

Holly Willoughby turned 42 on Friday, and along with the hundreds of messages from friends and fans was an incredible tribute from her rarely-seen sister Kelly.

Kelly took to social media with the most incredible never-before-seen photo beside her sister, which was first taken around twenty years ago - and they could be twins in the candid shot.

Captioning the post, she penned: "Happy, Happy Birthday Sis! Everyone needs a Holly in their life! She’s the fun at a party, the daft when you’re behaving like children, then serious when you really need it, the support when you can’t see the wood for the trees, and the love….always. Love you @hollywilloughby."

The pair look so alike!

In the photo, the pair are cuddled up on a stripy sofa together and are beaming from ear to ear for the camera. Holly is rocking a classic '90s headband that pulled the front of her hair backward.

Holly replied: "Awww thanks kel… love you," alongside a red love heart emoji. Friends and fans couldn't wait to flock in and flood the comments section with messages for the star.
