One said: “How wonderful, he sure is having fun!”

Holly rarely shares photos of her parents to her social media but when she does, fans are thrilled.

In June, the mum-of-three paid tribute to her dad on Father’s Day.

She posted an adorable throwback photo of herself and her dad showing the presenter being cradled by him.

Holly wrote alongside the image: “Happy Father’s Day… love you Daddy.”

Fans loved the photo, however, some people thought Brian was the spitting image of Britain’s Got Talent judge Simon Cowell.

One user cheekily asked: “Your dad is Simon Cowell?”
