Holly was a natural in front of the camera as she posed touching two panelled walls in a corridor and showcased the chic ensemble from Marks & Spencer.

She opted to go without any other accessories, including shoes, to ensure all eyes were on her simple yet stylish dress.

The blonde beauty wore her locks down and perfectly styled into gentle waves, letting them cascade down one side of her face as she beamed a smile.

It comes after Holly revealed she’s had to cancel her planned 40th birthday bash this week due to lockdown.

Speaking on Thursday’s This Morning, the star, who will mark her milestone birthday on February 10, lamented her lack of celebrations. 

The show aired a segment on ‘how to celebrate your birthday in lockdown’ and Holly admitted the segment was particularly relevant to her. 

Speaking to co-host Phillip Schofield Holly confessed: ‘It’s bittersweet as next week I’m celebrating my big 4-0 and tomorrow night would have been my big birthday party that I had to cancel!’

‘So it will look very different. But as long as I’ve got a cake and a glass in my hand I’ll be fine.’

Holly’s close friend Phil did his best to console her, offering her a snack and telling her: ‘Here have a wotsit Holly, It’ll be fine.’   

Last week it was revealed Holly plans to celebrate her birthday with a Zoom call with her showbiz pals.

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

‘My thirties have been all about the kids, bringing them up, keeping all these balls in the air, but now they’re getting older I can start focusing on things happening for me.’ 

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