Holly Willoughby appeared to reveal her cocktail of choice as she posed for a gorgeous snap before sharing some heartbreaking news with her fans. The This Morning presenter looked stunning in the beaming selfie which she took while she caught some rays in her garden.

Holly, 42 showed off her glistening white teeth to the camera as she smiled, posing behind what looked like a huge cocktail glass in front of her. She appeared to be sporting a terracotta-coloured linen strap dress while she held onto her black sunglasses.

The mum-of-three accessorised with a gold chain necklace and a silver ring. While she wore her classic short blonde locks down and in loose waves. "'Yep… that's me and a bucket of Pina Colada!'" the image was captioned as it was posted onto her brand Wylde Moon's Instagram page.
