Holly Willoughby shares rare insight to her home with snap of her pets snoozing together

Holly Willoughby has given fans a sneak peek into her lavish home as she shared a cute snap of her pets.

The This Morning presenter took to Instagram to post a photo of her dog Bailey and cat Bluebell snoozing together.

Although they are asleep at opposite ends of the sofa, it seems it’s a rarity the pets are so near to each other.

“Never thought I’d see the day... Bailey, Bluebell,” Holly captioned the picture.

The post promoted quite the reaction from fans who flocked to comment on similar experiences with their own pets.

One wrote: “This is so funny. I have the same problem. Cats live upstairs my dog stays downstairs. Hope their love grows from strength to strength xx.”

Another said: “Funnily enough after 2.5 years of fighting my two did the same today!! Must be something in the air!”

A third chimed in: “Aww yes , my dog and cat took about 2 years to accept each other. Now when I come in from being out they are sitting on the same sofa.”

“We have 3 cats and a pug and often now are on the sofa together. They have come a long way bless them. The cats can now tolerate Minnie,” said a fourth.

While a fifth added: “Our cat & dog have their moments like siblings, but they do play & love each other really. Cute pic.”

Holly and her family welcomed golden retriever Bailey to their family back in November last year.

So the fact he is already getting on with their pet cat Bluebell is pretty astonishing.

Sharing a picture kissing the adorable golden retriever on Instagram , Holly said at the time: "Bailey came into our life this month and has changed everything.”

She explained: "My daughter has been campaigning for us to get a dog since she was able to talk, and we have been waiting for the right time for a dog to fit into our family life.

"Now, is that time. This little ball of scrumptious energy bounded into our world and immediately made us question why on earth we have waited so long.

"She’s been brilliant for getting us all out of the house, going on long walks and playing in the garden.

"During lockdown, the kids gravitated to being on screens more than normal, but Bailey has come in and pushed a giant paw-shaped, reset button for all us…and of course we are completely in love.”

But it hasn’t all been plain sailing since Bailey joined the family.

Back in March Holly was horrified when the puppy chewed her hoover – just hours after she had taken it apart to give it a deep clean.

Sharing a snap of a guilty looking Bailey next to the evidence, the telly presenter wrote on Instagram : "Dyson update ... my dog ate my hoover."

Then in May Bailey decided to do a bit of garden DIY and was snapped covered in mud after digging up flowers in the garden.
