OHMYGOSSIP — Holly Willoughby missed ‘This Morning’ to attend her grandmother’s funeral on Tuesday (12.03.19).
It was announced last week that the 37-year-old presenter wouldn’t be hosting alongside Phillip Schofield that day with Rylan Clark-Neal taking her place on the sofa and Holly revealed via her Instagram account that she was absent because she was saying goodbye to her “beautiful Nan”.
Alongside a photo of Holly, 38, with her grandmother, she wrote to her 5.3 million Instagram followers: “Today we say goodbye for a little while to my beautiful Nan… go and be with Grandad… he’s been waiting for you… love you… miss you…(sic)”
Holly’s fans were quick to offer their condolences with one user writing: “Sending all my love to you all xxx so sorry for your loss xx (sic)”
Another said: “So sorry for your loss Holly May your beautiful Nan rest in eternal peace flying high with the angels & reunited with your grandad. Sending love and hugs for you and your family (sic)”
The ‘Celebrity Juice’ host has a very close bond with her family and often shares photos on social media with her mother Lynne.
Last week, Holly shared a picture of Lynne, 70, in a stunning selfie of the pair grinning simply captioned: “Mumma”.
