We never thought we'd see the day

We’ve long been fans of Holly Willoughby’s glamorous wardrobe, bubbly presenting style and sunny personality, and we've grown to think of her as the ULTIMATE blonde.

So we were more than a little taken aback when she shared this insane throwback of herself from her modelling days rocking brunette hair.

Naturally, Holly is still looking GORGEOUS in the snap, wearing a beige roll neck sweater and on trend (for the 90s) red trousers, complete with a dark lip and sleek bob.

She’s captioned the post, “Once upon a time in a land before blonde..." and followers couldn’t get enough of the dramatic switch up.

“Blonde or brunette, still beautiful girl,” said one follower, and another wrote, “Ohhhh love that colour on you!!”

Some were firmly team blonde – “Stay blonde holly 🙏 please” – and others thought she should take the plunge back to dark – “Love the brunette.. be brave have a change”.

Yesterday’s incredible throwback isn’t the first time we’ve had a glimpse into Holly’s former life as a model, after last year footage resurfaced of her modelling a bra for underwear brand Pretty Polly.

In the advert – which was filmed when Holly was just 18 – she is again sporting darker locks as she stares into the lens seductively and says, “Don’t squeeze them. Lift them” in an American accent.

Ooh-er.
