The former This Morning presenter took to Instagram to share a video of her recent getaway with the girls. Holly captioned the post: "The most special trip for the most special girl in the most special place. Putting the world to rights laughing till we cried, moon and sun bathing, beach dancing, just the best time celebration out Darlin Nic! Happy birthday to our beautiful girl!." 

In the video, Holly can be spotted donning a plunging red swimsuit layered beneath a white linen top. The Dancing on Ice host teamed her chic look with a black sunhat and a pair of ultra-large sunglasses as she enjoyed a cocktail by the pool.

Holly also sported a slew of gorgeous summer dresses during the trip. A particular favourite was a white linen midi dress that featured puffed short sleeves and a scooped neckline. The length was cut elegantly just below the knee, with Holly teaming the look with a pair of brown Hermès open-toe sandals. In the image, Holly can be seen posing with her three friends in front of a palm tree, all with cocktails in hand. 

The presenter spent her trip lounging by the beach to catch some rays before heading back to London's dreary weather. And her go-to sunbathing activity? Indulging in Liane's Moriarty's newest novel Here One Moment. Holly showed off her killer legs in a snap that depicted her lounging by the sea with the book resting on her thigh.
