Fans pine after Holly Willoughby’s former curves

Her daily fashion updates are high-anticipated by her Instagram followers on the social media site. 

But it seems Holly Willoughby’s fans were left divided over her latest post, as the This Morning presenter shared a snap of herself donning a chic floral-printed shirt dress that highlighted her svelter frame of late.

Holly looked simply sensational in her black and white Hobbs London dress that featured a collared neckline and nipped in at the waist, before billowing out around her upper leg. 

Its knee-length hem made sure to leave the TV star’s pins firmly on view and she added extra height to her ensemble with a pair of strappy black heels. 

Sporting a glamorous make-up look, Holly chose to wear her blonde locks down in tousled curls that fell just past her shoulders in a central parting. 

Beaming from ear-to-ear, Holly made sure to flash a smile as she updated her following on her latest wardrobe choice, with many fans praising her for her style excellence.  

Loving her dress, they took to the comments section in their droves to inform Holly that she looked ‘beautiful’ in the number. They penned: ‘You always look so stunning!!!

However, some fans, while complimenting Holly on her appearance, made sure to add that they were missing her famous hourglass frame following her weight loss of late. 

‘Go steady holly, your beauty is in your curves, stop here , don’t go any further,’ one fan penned, while another pined: ‘Bring our sexy and curvaceous Holly back (Now painfully thin and wrong message) #BringHollyBack.’

Others added: ‘Very nice but preferred you more curvy holly; Very beautiful as always but are you losing weight holly. Your looking thinner every time I see you.’

Holly’s latest post comes after she had touched upon her new slimline figure – that has prompted a flurry of interest from fans – during a recent interview on ITV’s Lorraine. 

Remaining silent on how she’s achieved her new look, Holly simply said: ‘My children are a bit older, you get to that point where you have a bit more time to yourself.

‘But I think as long as you’re happy and healthy that’s most important.’

Joking about losing the assets that comedian Keith Lemon memorably dubbed her ‘Willough-boobies,’ Holly replied: ‘I think they’re still there, Lorraine.’

Holly has reportedly been training with Lynne Robinson, director of top National Pilates Centre.

It’s claimed that mother-of-three Holly has been focusing on her core strength and her stomach thanks to exercise including assisted curl ups.

Lynne told MailOnline: ‘Pilates is both mind and body training. It is a fabulous method for improving your posture, making your breathing more efficient and for working on your core stability.

‘It’s a great way to tone up and streamline your body. As you have to focus on your movements, it’s also a great way to relax.’

Showcasing her honed physique, Holly wowed fans as she displayed possibly her slimmest look to date while sporting a tight white jumper with a chic A-line skirt last week.
