Holly Willoughby was back to work yesterday after a restful half-term break, and she posted an adorable picture of her and her youngest son to let her followers know they would be seeing her on their screens again soon.

The This Morning presenter posted a picture-perfect selfie of her beaming with happiness as most mums do when their child wants to snuggle in for a cuddle.

In the pic, the mum-of-three is seen holding her youngest child, three-year-old Chester, who is cuddling his mum tight as they lie on what is presumably a sun lounger.

Captioning the picture, Holly wrote: 'A week of sunshine and this 💕... now back to @thismorning ... see you at 10:30! Xxx'.

With 3.6 million followers, this rare picture of Holly and Chester quickly amassed thousands of likes. Holly's fans have written lots of complimentary messages on the picture with many exclaiming that the star is so much prettier when she goes make-up free.

One person said: 'You look even more stunning without makeup on xxx', while someone else said: 'No make-up and still look lovely.'

Another wrote: 'Natural beauty is best❤' and a third commented: 'Her beauty is soo natural 😍'.

While Holly undoubtedly looks very lovely, several other fellow parents were distracted by the evidently close bond between Holly and her children.

Instead of commenting on Holly's blemish-free skin, they reminisced and gushed that there is no better feeling than that of your child's love.

One fan wrote: 'Cuddles with your babies are just the best 💙💝'.

Another said: 'Mummy snuggles are just the BEST 🤗❤'.

A third wrote: 'Beautiful picture cuddles with ur babies are the best xx'.

Other fans urged the mum-of-three to cherish these moments with her children as she soon grow-up and don't want to by kissed and cuddled as much!

One person wrote: 'I didn't get cuddles like this this morning 😭😭 I miss when they are younger my daughter is 10 years old now I do wonder we're the time goes 💜💜💜💖💖 she still my baby tho no matter what xxx'.

Another joked: 'I used to love cuddles in the morning with my boy, unfortunately he's now 16 and 6ft 2", still get a scrunge when I leave even though it's more like a bear hug now.'
