Celebs cosy up to their rarely-seen mums on Mothers Day – from Holly Willoughby to Katie Price and Carol Vorderman
AS the UK celebrates Mother’s Day, celebs have been filling their Instagram feeds with sweet photos to celebrate their mum.
Holly Willoughby led celebrity tributes, sharing a lovely picture of her with 74-year-old Linda.
The This Morning presenter, 42, beamed alongside her lookalike mum and praised her for being her biggest supporter.
Holly wrote alongside the photo: “Happy Mother’s Day beautiful Mumma… Always there for us in every way… Couldn’t be more blessed… Love you.”
Wearing a navy blue blouse and pearl earrings, Holly’s fans raced to compliment her youthful-looking mum.
One wrote: “Happy Mother’s Day to your beautiful mom and you!”
Another posted: “What’s your mam’s secret?.. How does she look so young?”
While a third gushed: “Beautiful picture and your mum looks so young.”
Ex-Countdown star Carol Vorderman also joined in the tributes, posting a sweet family photo with her late mum Jean, who sadly passed away in 2017 after her fourth battle with cancer.
The TV favourite, 62, shared a throwback photo with her beloved mum and her children Katie, 32 and son Cameron, 26.
Carol wrote a lengthy post, which read: “HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY 2017 photos. My Mum had just been diagnosed with terminal cancer. It was on Mother’s Day and the last party I could give her.
“Mum had lived with me & Katie & Cam (photo of the 4 of us) for decades: we existed as one.
“I’d employed her since 1986. She ran my office. She lived with us through my marriage, and all years since. She was our everyday and I adored her.
“She died just weeks after that party in her bed surrounded by her family.”
Carol then revealed a bouquet of flowers with a touching message behind it.
She continued: “TODAY 2023 My flowers from Cameron. He thought about it.
“Red Rose is Nana. White is Cam. Yellow flowers he says are for me supporting them through life and the colour of my party dress that day.
“I’m so lucky to be genuinely loved by both of my children, and to love them back in equal measure. God I’m lucky. And it makes me beam smiling every day.
“We only have right now to show the people we love how much we care. I hope you have a wonderful day with your peeps.”
Carol was met with a flurry of warm messages from close friends and fans.
Vanessa Feltz commented: “You know how much I loved and respected your mother. Even more importantly you know how much that charming loving compassionate woman adored you.”
Other celebrities were also keen to show the love on social media.
