Holly Willoughby's fans have defended the presenter after cruel trolls accused her of 'trying to steal' Meghan Markle's limelight on the day of the royal wedding.

In case you missed it, there was the tiny matter of an EPIC royal wedding between Prince Harry and Meghan Markle this weekend and the whole country seemed to join in the celebrations.

Despite over 200 guests - including Hollywood stars and sporting heroes - attending the ceremony at St. George's Chapel, Windsor, not all the celebs were able to bag an invite.

But even those who didn't still managed to enjoy the special day, with their own royal wedding parties.

This Morning presenter Holly Willoughby even donned her own wedding dress to mark the momentous day.

Previously speaking about her plans for the big day while at This Morning Live, Holly told Alison Hammond: "Have you not heard what I am doing? You are going to love this!

"It's my sister’s 40th on the same day so I’ve got a big party for her birthday anyway, all day, and then obviously the royal wedding, so extra excitement and then this week on the old family whatsapp group that we all have, my sister Kelly said, I’ve got an amazing idea - for anyone that’s been married go and get your wedding dress and wear it to the party."

But, after sharing pictures and videos from her day of fun, Holly received backlash from cruel internet trolls.

One follower wrote on Instagram: "I know it was your sis and mums birthday however Why?? It just makes you look like your trying to upstage Meghan Big mistake Huge."

Another questioned: “Why are you attempting to overshadow the Royal wedding? There must be a reason for not being picked to present. Accept it.”

But Holly's fans soon jumped to her defence, flooding the comments with praise for the presenter.

One fan wrote: "Stunning Holly! Brilliantly fun dress code - ignore the haters!”

Another follower commented: "Beautiful Holly. Love this. Hope you and the family had an amazing day. For the negative comments, let’s just ask Megan wether she gave zero shits if holly wore a wedding dress the day she got married....that might shut some of your comments down. ✌🏻 peace and Love Holly.
