Holly Willoughby may be on our screens several days a week but she usually keeps her private life well away from the spotlight.

However the 37-year-old made an exception on Thursday in honour of International Women’s Day.

Holly treated fans to a throwback picture of herself as a tiny child, alongside sister Kelly, who is two years older than her, and their mother Lynne.

Well, fans couldn’t get over the similarity between Holly and her mum, whom she once described as looking like Wonder Woman in her youth.

One wrote: “Wow……can see where you get your good looks from!”

Another said: “Your mum looks amazing. Definitely got her good looks.”

And a third remarked: “Very like your mam beautiful photo.”

Holly once told Notebook magazine that she phones her mum a few times a day and asks her advice on everything.

The This Morning favourite also confirmed her mum’s a natural brunette who went blonde later in life.

“She’s really dark naturally – I’m the only one in the family who’s mousy. When I was a kid my mum looked exactly like Wonder Woman,” she said.

“She’s blonde now but only because she’s gone grey underneath. At first it was a big change for all of us, especially for my dad, because he fell in love with a brunette and he’s ended up with this lovely blonde.

“But we can’t imagine her any other way now.”

In another interview with Daily Record, she revealed how Lynne helps her look after her children, Harry, eight, Belle, six, and three-year-old Chester.

Holly spoke recently about being a firm feminist and wanting to empower her daughter and other women.

“Everybody should be a feminist,” she told The Sun.

“Feminism should be a belief that women are able to do whatever they want to do and be whoever they want to be, and of course that’s what I believe in, and that’s exactly what I want Belle to feel like.

“I think we have come a long way, but there is still a way to go.”
