Among those reportedly planning to pop up onscreen for the virtual bash are her pals Emma Bunton, 45, Nicole Appleton, 46, and Tamzin Outhwaite, 50, as well as her big sister Kelly, 42.

The publication quotes the TV personality as saying about her rapidly approaching big day: ‘I’m really looking forward to it.’

As well as her glamorous pals, Holly will have plenty of company at her £3million south-west London home, which she shares with her husband Dan Baldwin and their three children Harry, 11, Belle, nine, and Chester, six.

Last year, before the COVID-19 pandemic had taken a grip, Holly celebrated her 39th birthday in style with a Mexican fiesta.

Holly was treated to cocktails and delicious snacks by chef Phil Vickery as she toasted to turning another year older with her co-host Phillip, 58, while her sister Kelly shared a sweet throwback picture of the pair to celebrate.

The duo were in high spirits as they raised a glass to Holly’s big day, with the birthday girl saying: ‘Tequila makes everything better. This is what birthdays are about – margaritas and vats of guacamole!’  

Holly was also presented with a delicious looking birthday cake, and later said: ‘I couldn’t think of a dreamier birthday lunch.’

The TV personality was looking stunning in a Zara dress with a pleated bodice, puffball sleeves and a pretty floral print.
