Holly Willoughby declared 'look who's back' as she shared her latest pre-This Morning snap. It has become somewhat of a tradition for the presenter to share a photo before she heads live onto the ITV daytime show which she hosts Monday through to Thursday with Phillip Schofield.
And in her latest before Thursday's show, which also happened to be her and Phillip's last of the week, Holly was joined by a special guest. The 42-year-old had brought along her adorable pet pooch Bailey for a day at the studio and she appeared live on the programme as they spoke about Crufts, which is currently being held at the NEC in Birmingham.
The Golden Retriever, who Holly announced had joined the family back in November 2021, months after bringing her home, soon made herself comfortable in the studio, getting plenty off fuss off Phillip, 60, and not even batting an eye lid when the presenting duo celebrating a viewers' big 12 at 12 win.
Meanwhile, at the start of Thursday's episode of This Morning, Holly and Phillip were joined by Bailey who demonstrated some of her "new tricks" live on the show. Holly asked the sweet dog to lie down and left a dog treat on Bailey's paw. She then instructed the dog to wait before giving her the go-ahead to eat it.
And clearly, the pressure of live TV didn't bother Bailey who get a well deserved round of applause afterwards. But after seeing other dogs' tricks Holly was back at the drawing board as she wondered what else she could get her dog doing.
But back to Holly's Instagram post and the mum-of-three could be seen posing backstage as usual and could be seen showing off her fabulous figure in a navy Ted Baker dress which featured cropped, slightly puffed sleeves and a Peter Pan-style collar. She paired the look with some tights and black heels while her blonde locks were styled in a slight wave and tucked behind her ear on one side.
Holly could be seen gazing down at her pet as she sat and faced towards the camera. "Looks who’s back… #bailey. See you on @thismorning at 10am… #hwstyle," Holly captioned the post to her more than eight million followers. They were quick to respond to the photo with many claiming Holly was 'brave' as they pointed out a potential error.

Gorgeous outfit."
Others, however, were quick to gush over Holly, and Bailey. @janetwood151 wrote: "Oh he is so beautiful, your getting a little upstaged today holly but iam sure you don’t mind." @claudeybuck29 commented: "He should he on all the time he's lovely." @nicolawilson41 said: "Absolutely love watching you and Bailey this morning….and of course Phil." @saralou1975 added: "Love seeing Bailey. Such a beautiful dog."
