Holly Willoughby has thrilled fans with an unseen snap from her holiday, after the TV star had to cut the break short due to coronavirus.

This Morning star Holly uploaded a picture of her in a white swimsuit to Instagram and said, "Throwing it back to when factor 50 was essential! Even when it’s cloudy it’s good to protect your skin... make it easy... @garnieruk UV Water Mist #ad."

And fans of Holly's praised her for being "beautiful as always".

"Absolutely gorgeous," wrote one online user. While another said, "Beautiful as always."

It comes after Holly had to cut her seven-week holiday to Portugal short in order to quarantine before she re-starts on This Morning.

Holly and Phil are currently on their annual summer holiday with Ruth Langsford and Eamonn Holmes holding the fort while they're gone, as well as a string of other stand-in presenters.

Prior to her holiday, Holly reportedly cut ties with her showbiz agent as she launches her own talent company with an all-female team to manage her busy schedule.

Holly, 39, has left talent agency, YMU Entertainment – formerly known as James Grant, after 13 years in a bid to become more self-sufficient and manage herself.

According to The Sun Online, an insider confirmed Holly spent lockdown reflecting on her hugely successful career so far and decided it was time for a change.

A source revealed, “Lockdown has given her time to reflect and think about her future.

“In many ways, it has become the perfect opportunity to start afresh and it was just time for a change.

"She is really excited about managing herself and having more say over decisions on a day-to-day basis.”

It is thought Holly will now work closely with an all-female team – made up of a personal assistant, publicist and accountant – under a new company called Roxy Management.

YMU Entertainment also look after Holly’s co-host, Philip Schofield, as well as some of TV’s biggest stars including Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly and Graham Norton.

Holly’s decision comes just months after the mum-of-three opened up about being “riddled with guilt” about being a working mum. So it’s no surprise she’s keen to take her schedule into her own hands.
