While Holly is flashing a smile for the camera, her son’s head is facing towards the ice, obscuring his face. Holly and husband Dan Baldwin are fiercely private about their children and have never released photos of them.

Holly told fans: “Working on Mother’s Day but bought my boy with me… he’s loving it… but not as much as me… (sic).”

Many of Holly’s fans loved the gorgeous snap and lavished her with compliments.

Others pointed out a funny typo in Holly’s caption, with one saying: “Did you mean you ‘brought’ your boy to work, Holly hun?”

Give her a break, guys! We all make typos!

And as soon as she noticed it, Holly edited her caption to add the extra ‘r’ to the word so drama over!

Meanwhile, fans were quick to compliment Holly on such a lovely photo with her boy, wishing her a very Happy Mother’s Day.

Holly and husband Dan are also parents to daughter Belle, six, and three-year-old Chester.

Earlier on Mother’s Day, the telly favourite had shared a Mother’s Day card she received from one of her brood, which made her laugh!

Holly told her Instagram fans: “Feeling pretty chuffed with that…Happy Mother’s Day! Xxxx.”

It was no doubt extra special for Holly having her son at the Dancing On Ice set, as she recently revealed it was her kids that prompted her to be involved in the Dancing On Ice reboot.

She told The Sun: “They got so into Strictly and I thought to myself, ‘God they would have loved Dancing On Ice’. Then, of course, Dancing On Ice came back and it was like, ‘God, they’re going to love this.'”

Holly has also said: “What is really nice is I have found a new appreciation for this kind of show (which I love) since having the kids.

“It is exactly the type of show we sit and watch as a family. We love Strictly, The X Factor and we love sitting there watching those big family event TV moments.

“It is nice my children are now old enough to come and watch and enjoy DOI.”
