Holly Willoughby shares rare snap of dad Brian on Father’s Day in glimpse at stunning home garden

HOLLY Willoughby shared a rare photograph of her dad Brian in a touching Father's Day tribute.

The This Morning star, 42, took to Instagram to declare her appreciation for her beloved dad, 70.

She chose a picture of him smiling while sitting on her home patio with the family's Golden Retriever Bailey and cat Bluebell.

Holly wrote: "Dad… We all love you so much… so lucky to have you… Happy Father’s Day."

The tribute comes a day after Holly rocked a fresh-faced look as she laid on the grass with daisies surrounding her.

She opted for minimal makeup and wore her blonde hair down in its cropped do as she flashed a smile for the camera.

The TV star’s team wrote: “Holly's makeup artist has recommended 9 of her favourite makeup products with added SPF, to give you an extra layer of sun-shielding.”

Commenting on the beautiful image, one person wrote: “Holly looking so pretty here (when doesn’t she?)”

A second added: “Holly you look so beautiful in that sunshine girl,” and a third penned: “This sunny weather looks good on you holly.”

Another wrote: “So beautiful,” and other fans flooded the comments with flame emojis.

Holly recently said there was a “cloud hanging over” her home as she returned to work following the Phillip Schofield scandal, which saw him admit to an affair with a younger male colleague.

She wrote:  "Hi, how’re you feeling today? How dreamy was the weather this weekend? Finally, here in the UK we’ve got the weather we’ve been craving and you get the sense that everyone feels better for it.

"Summer is literally right around the corner, bringing back picnics in the park, daytrips to the beach, al fresco evenings spent with loved ones…and not forgetting the annual paddling pool scrub down and patch up!"

The star revealed that her children are currently gearing up for exams.

"The only downside to this lovely weather for us as a family right now is the revision cloud hanging over us,” she shared.

"If you’re anything like me, you’ve got some very frustrated kids kicking about the house, when all they want is to be outside kicking a ball! I can remember that battle for self-discipline like it was yesterday.”

Holly and husband Dan Baldwin are parents to 13-year-old son Harry, 11-year-old daughter Belle, and eight-year-old son Chester.
