Holly Willoughby has divided fans with her 40th birthday celebrations after lamenting having to cancel plans.

The This Morning presenter took to Instagram after Sunday night’s Dancing on Ice to share the spectacular lengths ITV had gone to to make her lockdown birthday one to remember, with shoulder height letters spelling out her name in lights and a jazzy lametta backdrop.

“Thank you @dancingonice for making me feel so special,” she wrote alongside the snap. “It’s kicked off my birthday week in style.

“Honestly felt overwhelmingly spoilt today with all the decorations and cake! Thank you, love you to bits! 🎂 💗🦄🦩🌸✨🍭🥂”.

Last week Holly told This Morning viewers that she’d had rearrange her plans for the big 4-0, saying, “Tomorrow night I would have been having a big birthday party that I had to cancel.
