Holly Willoughby and a gaggle of gal pals looked like they were all aboard the booze train as they enjoyed a lavish bubbles filled trip together - speeding away from any work related worries left behind in London.
The 38-year-old This Morning presenter was joined by Spice Girl Emma Bunton, TV host Christine Lampard, author Niki de Metz and record label boss Shiarra Bell for a special (and very exclusive) Christmas party.
The group of gal-pals were all aboard a luxury steam train and enjoyed a high end lunch experience aboard one of the Belmond trains which offer luxury travel and service.
Taking to Instagram on Friday, the ladies shared photos of themselves laughing and drinking together as they caught up for a festive celebration ahead of Christmas.
“Best day with my girls,” Holly wrote as she shared snaps on her Instagram feed, adding that the experience gave her: “magical Poirot vibes.”
Emma “Baby Spice” Bunton also shared a photo from the day, with her Instagram caption reading: “A very special Christmassy day!!! I love my friends.”
Loose Women host Christine (who is married to football legend Frank Lampard) wrote: “An afternoon full of festive cheer” as she shared photos online.
While business woman Niki wrote: “The most lovely afternoon with ma gals celebrating life and friendship and all the good things with Xmas vibes.”
The ladies were on a carriage of a luxury train in which tickets cost almost £400 per person.
Dining experience aboard the train are marketed as: “a fine-dining experience like no other.”
The brand says: “Your liveried steward will help settle you at your table, which is set with fine linen and bespoke tableware. Take time to admire the magnificent marquetry and art deco flourishes of your vintage carriage.”
While details of the trips explain: “As your gastronomic journey through the Surrey Hills begins, your steward will take care of all your needs. Sip champagne, marvelling at the ever-changing views through the window and the plumes of steam trailing through the sky.”
The relaxing weekend may come as a welcome distraction for Holly who has found herself in the spotlight in recent weeks amid rumours of a rift between herself and This Morning co-host Phillip Schofield.
Accusations have been made that 57-year-old silver haired housewives favourite Phil has been seething with envy over Holly’s successes that don’t include him.
This is said to have reached a peak when Holly won a BAFTA for her work on I’m A Celeb without him - however Phil and ITV have denied any feud exists between the stars.
