Holly Willoughby has spoken directly to her fans for the first time since sharing news of her family's heartbreaking family loss. The This Morning star was showered with support from her celebrity pals and fans over the weekend after sharing that her mother-in-law had died.

Sharing a picture with Sandra, the mum of her husband Dan Baldwin, Holly wrote in a heartfelt caption on the social media platform, seen by her 8.3 million followers: "Sleep well Sandra… Nonna, Mother, Sister, friend… To know her was to know strength itself. Raising four children after losing her husband, she then lost a son and more recently her sister…

"Thank you for your guidance, advice and bottomless Prosecco." The 42-year-old finished her emotional post by adding: "Thank you for raising the incredible man I’m married to… I see your strength everyday in our children… Be at peace… Love you."
