Holly Willoughby went au natural as she 'soaked up' the last of her summer break and the school holidays. The This Morning presenter is set to return to hosting duties on the ITV daytime show on Monday (September 5) alongside Phillip Schofield.
She and her co-host have been away from screens since July when they hosted a rare Friday show before saying a temporary farewell to viewers. They have since been replaced in the main presenting slot by the likes of Alison Hammond, Dermot O'Leary, Rochelle Humes, Vernon Kay, and Craig Doyle.
But before she gets back to the famous sofa, it appears Holly, 41, has been trying to enjoy all the quality time she can with her family. And the mum-of-three shared a sweet moment with her son on Thursday morning (September 1) and took to Instagram to post the adorable snap.
In the caption alongside the image she wrote, “All the stripes and all the feels… soaking up the last few moments before back to school.” Holly and who appears to be seven-year-old Chester cosied up on a sofa. Holly could be seen without a scrap of makeup as she held up her phone to take the selfie, showing her in her navy striped pyjamas.
Fellow This Morning presenter Alison, 47, was among the first to comment on the mother-and-son snap, writing: "Every time I see you I feel peace." And fans were also flocking to the comments section to react to the sweet image.
