Holly Willoughby fans tease star over 'hotty' Instagram post as they're in disbelief over her age

Holly Willoughby has been teased by fans over her latest Instagram post.

The This Morning star has left her followers in disbelief as she gears up to celebrate a big birthday on Wednesday.

Holly will be turning 40 on February 10 and the Dancing On Ice crew kickstarted the treats backstage on Sunday.

The team pulled out all the stops for the birthday girl, however, fans were quick to joke about the 'hotty' post she made to her seven million followers.

Holly, whose co-hosts the ITV skating show alongside Phillip Schofield, shared a picture of herself posing in a stunning, floor-length ice blue gown in front of giant light-up letters spelling out Holly.

Pink flamingos were scattered among the lettering with silver streamers and balloons also seen in the snap.

But fans had to do a double take.

"At a glance I thought it said hotty," wrote one.

Another joked: "I'd be raging... They've spelled "Hotty" wrong."

"Thought it said Hotty then realised it was Holly. But both true. Amazing dress," a third echoed.

"Theres me thinking that said HOTTY," a fourth agreed.

And others think she is telling a 'lie' over her upcoming birthday.

"Happy birthday Holly! You lie! you’re not 40!!" a fan commented.

Another said: "Birthday? So, what are you turning, 27?"
