Holly Willoughby flooded with 'well done' messages as she shares daughter's 'inspiration' in rare family post

Holly Willoughby has been flooded with 'well done' messages from fans following her latest social media post but the praise wasn't for her. The This Morning presenter shared a snap to her Instagram page after finishing up her latest stint at the helm of the ITV daytime show.

The image showed a brilliantly-done painting by her daughter, Belle, which Holly was clearly blown away by. The TV star, 42, is fiercely private when it comes to her private life and very rarely talks about her children publicly or shares pictures of them on social media.

However, occasionally Holly will share pictures of her kids - Harry, Belle and Chester who she shares with her TV producer husband Dan Baldwin - but with their faces hidden. In her latest post, fans could only see Belle's hand as she and her mum admired her artwork.

The picture was of Grayson Perry who Holly shared Belle had been 'inspired by'. "End of term take your artwork of the walls day…" the mum-of-three started the caption of her post shared with her 8.3 million followers.

"My Belle being inspired by @alanmeasles," she went on to type before adding: "Congratulations Sir Grayson Perry on your knighthood." And the praise soon came flooding in for Belle from Holly's impressed celebrity pals and followers.

This Morning baker Juliet Sear replied: "We love him!!" Holly's make-up artist Patsy O'Neill commented: "Oh I love this Belle and I'm sure @alanmeasles will also love it." Meanwhile, All Saints singer Nicole Appleton simply posted a love heart eyes emoji in the comments section.

@jakobsson_c typed: "Wow very talented artist." @fionas101 replied: "Fab well done Belle." @tracy.jameson1 commented: "That is such a lovely picture- you should frame it." @debsnbilly1982 praised: "It’s beautiful Holly a keeper." @loopyloopla68 added: "That is so brill x well done belle we love @alanmeasles in our house."

It comes after Holly's youngest son, Chester, was branded a 'future Bansky' when she shared a look at his artwork earlier this week. The youngster's sculpture consisted of a tinfoil structure on an A4 piece of paper. Behind it, he drew the shape's shadow in grey to make it seem as though the object cast a shadow.

Sharing her son's talents with her millions of Instagram followers, Holly wrote: "This might be my favourite yet Chester…" In the accompanying photo, she showed off her eight-year-old son's art alongside the hashtag 'shadows'.

Model and pal Abbey Clancy replied: "Bloody hell that’s amazing." Holly's sister Kelly commented: "How cool is that." @sophsadd07 said: "That’s really clever and artist." @rayray7528 shared: "Boy clearly has talent." @xtjex commented: "That's brilliant well done Chester." @elrelrelrelrelr added: "future Banksy in the sculpture world."
