Holly Willoughby pens sweet birthday tribute alongside rare snap with lookalike sister

Holly Willoughby has unveiled a rare snap alongside her lookalike sister Kelly as she shared a sweet birthday message for her older sibling.

The 40-year-old This Morning star, who shares a close bond with Kelly, was pictured beaming from ear to ear in a cheerful snap alongside her sister.

In the post, that Holly shared with her 7.1 million Instagram followers, the sisters grinned at the camera while toasting their cocktails.

Alongside the sweet snap, Holly dubbed Kelly her 'wing woman' as she wished her a Happy Birthday.

"Happy birthday to my beautifully brilliant wing woman..." Holly began.

"I love you @ladywilloughby be lost without you... let’s see what this year brings shall we... (this is an old picture taken before social distancing FYI)," Holly clarified.

A number of Holly and Kelly's famous pals also took to the comment section of the post to share their messages.

Several other fans also told Holly that she didn't need to clarify whether the picture was taken before social distancing rules were introduced.

"How sad that you have to comment on it being before social distancing. Just so all the Karen’s are ‘put in their place’ before trolling. Hug your loved ones - life is too short. Happy Birthday to your sister," added another fan.

While Holly tends to keep her family life off social media, she has reflected on her close relationship with Kelly in the past.

In an interview with The Guardian, the This Morning star previously revealed: "We’re more like friends than sisters.

Holly added: "We even bought a place together in Putney. You would expect some fireworks, but because we have the same friends and have different roles within that group, none of that ever came into it."
