Holly Willoughby appeared to show her support for her co-star and pal Alison Hammond as she was flooded with comments and dubbed a 'Barbie girl'. During her latest appearance on This Morning, the presenter appeared inspired by one of the show's latest segments.
On Friday (June 30) Alison and Dermot O'Leary were joined live in the studio by Amanda Hall has committed to being a full-time Barbie due to her incredible likeness to Margot Robbie who is taking the starring role in the upcoming Barbie film. She was joined via video link by Kitten Kay Sera who lives in her pink home in Hollywood and has only worn pink clothes for over 40 years.
And clearly getting the pink memo, Alison delighted fans with her choice of outfit. The 48-year-old was sporting a hot pink dress that flowed over her curves before finishing at her shins. To top off the all-pink look, she added a light pink blazer before accessorising with a statement necklace.

Posing in the This Morning studio, Alison, whose dark but highlighted locks styled into classic curls, posted a snap and said: "Barbie Vibes on @thismorning today." And it didn't take her celebrity followers and fans to comment on the post and share their compliments.
While Holly didn't comment, she did share a 'like' on the post while Married At First Sight expert Mel Schilling said: "LOVIN your pink today babes."
@ebarmby commented: "Absolutely love [the] barbie look today." @parkhousepeta posted: "Just so gorgeous." @mariamills_xox replied: "How amazing do you look, just love you babe; you bring sunshine bigger than sun, you shine you; make me smile and laugh through tough times, thank you."

Alison then shared a follow-up post featuring a video of her dancing and singing along to Aqua classic Barbie Girl around the This Morning set. "I think I’m already living the Barbie lifestyle you know," she typed to her 1.3 million followers.
And fans were loving it and keen to make sure Alison will keep up her smiling antics. @barbarasasyoulikeit said: "Keep shining Alison I hope to see you Monday-Friday in place of Philip you deserve that spot." @carinascottsmile replied: "This … you, this whole situation just makes my heart sing. I worked in television before I had my stroke and don’t really watch television now because everybody seems so fake knowing you who you are from Big Brother just makes it all the more fantastic you have made it girl."

Holly's social media 'liking' of Alison's post comes after Holly appeared to respond to claims that their friendship isn't real, according to former colleague Eamonn Holmes who suggested that was the case in a bombshell interview for GB News after the Phillip Schofield scandal.
As Holly hosted the show this week with Craig Doyle, they went live to her previous co-host Josie Gibson who was appearing on the show in a link filmed by the Kennet and Avon canal. "Stick with us over the next few days because I'm going to be on my own canal boat adventure and tomorrow is Best Friends Day, so my friends better be ready! Got a canal boat waiting for you..." she said.
Holly responded: "Aw, enjoy that! Think of all the friends getting on the canal with her. The canals are about to get even more dangerous, Craig!" Craig then asked: "How many of you are going, Jose?"
Josie replied: "Well, I've been trying to round them out but Alison can't make it, Holly's obviously in the studio, so I've got one or two." Holly then interrupted as she confirmed: "Alison can't come because she's at mine tonight! That's what I do know!"
