Holly Willoughby joined by rarely seen lookalike sister at Pride of Britain Awards

This Morning and Dancing On Ice presenter Holly Willoughby wowed as she posed with her rarely-seen lookalike sister Kelly for the Pride of Britain Awards. The glam siblings smiled side-by-side in a snap posted by Holly on her Instagram as she shared her love for her older sibling.

Holly was on sparkling form in a pink floral tulle dress. Her sweeping asymmetrical floor-length gown was adorned with a giant bow on the shoulder. The mum-of-three swept her blonde locks back for the awards, which celebrate the achievements of remarkable people in one of the most emotional nights of the year.

Kelly looked equally glamorous in a black square-neck gown with flared sleeves for the heart-warming event at Grosvenor House, London. Taking to Instagram Holly, 41, penned: "By my side… always and for tonight’s @prideofbritain awards…"

She added: "@ladywilloughby wearing @coastfashion and looking [fire emoji]… love you Kel #sisters #prideofbritain." Holly also shared a snap standing in her fairytale dress by herself.

She wrote: "Waterproof mascara on and tissue’s at the ready… on my way to the @prideofbritain … love this night." Kelly has been working alongside her famous sister by acting as managing director for her wellness brand Wylde Moon.

literallymillie_commented: "Both so Beautiful!! You look so alike." And allthingswills said: "Nothing compares to the bond with a sister. Looking gorgeous you two."

On the red carpet Holly was joined by her co-presenter Phillip Schofield. This Morning recently bagged the Daytime award at the National Television Awards for the fifth year in a row, seeing off competition from Loose Women as well as The Chase and The Repair Shop.

Their win for the daytime magazine show came soon after the pair faced criticism over the past month following claims they 'skipped the queue' for the Queen’s lying in state. Hundreds of thousands of people had queued for up to 14 hours to pay their final respects to the nation's longest-reigning sovereign following her death on September 8, aged 96, at Balmoral.

This Morning hit back at the claims saying they were there to report on the event. Holly addressed the outrage in a video documenting the events up until the late monarch's funeral. She could be heard saying in a voiceover as footage showed them outside Westminster Hall: "Like hundreds of accredited broadcasters and journalists, we were given official permission to access the hall.

"It was strictly for the purpose of reporting on the event for millions of people in the UK who haven't been able to visit Westminster in person." She continued: "The rules were that we would be quickly escorted around the edges to a platform at the back. In contrast, those paying respects walked along a carpeted area beside the coffin and were given time to pause."

She continued: "None of the broadcasters and journalists there took anyone's place in the queue and no one filed passed the Queen. We, of course, respected those rules, however, we realise that it may have looked like something else and therefore totally understand the reaction."
