Holly Willoughby cuddles dog Bailey in bed as she makes most of This Morning break

This Morning presenter Holly Willoughby looked the picture of happiness as she cuddled up with her dog, Bailey, in bed.

The 40-year-old mum-of-three is taking a break from This Morning for Christmas and it looks like she's making the most of her lie-ins.

Lying in bed sporting a green silk dressing gown, Holly shared a pic of her and the pooch who is snuggled next to her fast asleep.

Captioning the post she wrote: "Morning" followed by a pink bow emoji.

Holly filmed her last This Morning episode on Friday and is now taking a well-deserved break for Christmas.

Bailey joined the family last month after Holly said it was finally the right time for a dog.

The adorable pooch is already a huge hit with the family as well as This Morning viewers after Holly brought her onto the show.

The retriever was very well behaved as proud owner Holly gushed: "Bailey, can you say hello?"

"She's 15 weeks old and we've had her for a bit," she said. "I've never had a dog in my life... I have barely slept.

"We had James blunt singing You Are Beautiful and I had her on my knee," she said. "I might have shed a tear!"

Holly was talking about Bailey's first night at home on the Jonathan Ross show on the weekend and shocked viewers with her use of colourful language.

The presenter is known for her polished daytime image, but post watershed it was a different story.

Describing Bailey's altered appearance she said: "Before I saw her, I could smell her.

"I lifted the flap and I swear to God it was like something out of a horror movie.

"She was covered in her own s**t. She'd gone from white and perfect to just stinky and smelly.

"I looked and thought 'if I let you out you're going to run through and cover the whole house in this."

Holly joked that she and husband Dan Baldwin had to clean up the mess, which was no mean feat considering the star was wearing a white fluffy dressing gown at the time.

Holly recently launched a wellness range called Wylde Moon and gifted her famous friends a gorgeous necklace from the line.

Sharing snaps of Emma Bunton and Nicole Appleton wearing the moon-themed pendant, Holly and the gang enjoyed a day out to remember.

They treated themselves to a trip on private luxury train the British Pullman.

The presenter and her pals looked delighted with life as they sipped champagne, wearing Christmas hats and posed excitedly for the camera.
