In the shot, Holly's perfectly manicured nails can be seen and her beloved Birman cat is also in shot.

While a third added: “Good luck sweetheart we have missed you and hope you're in a better place now .”
Holly had been keeping a low profile since leaving This Morning after news broke of an alleged plot to kidnap and murder her.
But she will be making a long awaited return to TV to host the skating competition - despite taking a break from everything else.
She will be hosting with her long-time pal Stephen Mulhern, 46, who has replaced Phillip Schofield, 61, on the ITV skating series.

Holly is understood to have agreed terms on a “rolling contract” with the option to quit next year if she wants a longer break.
Holly and Phillip's television partnership and 14-year reign on This Morning ended last year when Schofield, 61, resigned from ITV due to his affair with a younger colleague.
At the time he said the relationship was "unwise but not illegal";.
Holly told the programme's viewers in June that she had been "let down" by him, adding: "You, me and all of us at This Morning gave our love and support to someone who was not telling the truth, who acted in a way that they themselves felt that they had to resign from ITV, and step down from a career that they loved. That is a lot to process."
Holly then left the programme in October and halted other projects after an alleged kidnap plot.
The presenter, a mother of three, said she was leaving "for me and my family".
Fans had not heard from her since, or even seen images of her - until her first promo picture for Dancing On Ice was released this week.
The Sun told last night how Holly is gearing up to make her comeback and is weighing up a number of deals.
