Holly Willoughby has desperately called on her fans to help with a case of a very important missing friend.
Her eight-year-old daughter, Belle, has been left devastated after losing her favourite teddy bear.
The Arsenal teddy, which goes by the name of Ted, bears the football club’s logo on his foot and is a shabby white toy.
Holly is now calling on her 6.4 million Instagram followers to help her find a replacement.
A post on her Instagram page read: “Help… we’ve had that nightmare moment where Belle has lost her favourite ‘Ted’ … He is an old @arsenal teddy and had an Arsenal badge with a year on his foot… I wish I had a better photo!” she starts in her post.
“I’ve searched everywhere and also online for a replacement… can anyone help?

“Have you seen him, Have you got the same bear at home that you may not need anymore, can I buy a replacement somewhere? … poor Belle is so sad to lose her best friend …Thank you xxx,” she concluded alongside a close-up picture of the missing family treasure.
She also tagged Arsenal’s official page, although it appears they are yet to offer help on her post.
Fans have naturally leapt to her aid and linked the This Morning presenter with several potential teddy alternatives.

Others expressed their parenting woes after going through the ordeal of a misplaced toy with their own children.
“Why does no one tell you to buy 2 of their favourite toy until it is too late!!?? Poor Belle hope you find one. Sure Arsenal will be in touch soon!” wrote one supportive follower.
“This is heartbreaking! I’ve had the same thing happen to my son before and it literally feels like you’ve lost a part of the family. Hope you find what you’re looking for xx” gushed another.

Some followers even offered Belle their own teddy bears, with one saying: “I have one called Soppy, she can have mine.”
Over the half-term break, doting mum Holly and her husband Dan Baldwin whisked their three kids away on a lavish snow-filled holiday.
Harry, ten, Belle and Chester, five, enjoyed the frosty weather on a luxury ski trip in Savoie, France before Holly had to get back to work.
Despite the recent loss, fans remain hopeful that Holly will be able to find a replacement Ted for Belle.
