Holly Willoughby had fans smiling with a sweet video of her golden retriever Bailey waking up like 'Chewbacca'. The This Morning presenter regularly keeps her followers updated with the life of her pet pooch, who joined the family last year, and yesterday morning was no different.
The mum-of-three took to Instagram to share a clip of Bailey stretching with her eight million followers, captioning the post: "Does anyone else's dog say Good Morning in the style of Chewbacca with a cold?" The gorgeous pup could be heard making a noise similar to the Star Wars character as he stretched.

"Mabel loves to chat! Haven't a clue what she is saying! But brings smiles every time," an owner agreed.
Earlier in the year, Bailey was caught on camera getting up to mischief in the family's back garden.
The ITV presenter, 41, took to Instagram to share a clip of the guilty-looking dog and what was left of her planted display.
The once-blonde canine appeared to know he had done wrong as he lay on the grass covered in mud after getting to work on the beds.
After captioning the post: "Bailey!!!!!!" Holly was met with an influx of comments from fans who found the whole incident hilarious.
Someone said: "Her little face she knows she's done wrong she cant look you in the eye bless her."
Another time, Holly revealed that her dog Bailey wrecked her Dyson, just hours after she had given it a deep clean.
She shared a photo of her retriever lying on the floor alongside broken pieces of plastic, with the caption: "Dyson update... my dog ate my hoover."
Though fans were quick to fall for Bailey's puppy dog eyes, with one writing, "Look at her gorgeous face. You can't be mad at her," and another said: "That face says not guilty."
Several followers shared similar stories of dogs causing problems at home, with one stating: "Mine's chewed through my hoover cable while it was plugged in."
