Holly Willoughby was reduced to tears as she was given a heartwarming birthday surprise when she arrived at the This Morning studios.
The blonde bombshell is celebrating turning 40 on Wednesday (10th February) and she became overwhelmed with emotion when she was greeted by her ITV colleagues.
Her co-star Phillip Schofield took to Instagram to share video clips of Holly’s heartfelt surprise.
Phil posted some videos on his Instagram stories as he told his fans: “The birthday girl is about to arrive, everything is ready, she doesn’t know about this.”
Schofield then showed his followers the ITV studios hallway as it was decorated with balloons and Stevie Wonder’s Happy Birthday was heard in the background.
