Holly Willoughby has been slammed by her followers after they accused her of breaking social distancing rules and the TV presenter.
The This Morning presenter has been abiding by lockdown rules - she cut her seven-week holiday short following a change in quarantine rules and we saw her and Phillip Schofield hug through a cuddle curtain on the show.
However she's recently reunited with her best girl friends including Emma Bunton and Nicole Appleton but lots of her fans have questioned whether she's following guidelines.
On Instagram, she posted a photo alongside her pals and wrote, "My girls... this really was food for my belly and soul... this is as close as we’re allowed to get for now and I’ll take that... it’s been sooooo long...
"There were moments when I first sat down that it felt like a dream, super emotional not to be able to hug you as it goes against all natural instincts... one day! ...love you all".
She went on to joke about bringing her cuddle curtain for their next reunion and despite lots of her followers gushing over the ladies reuniting, some couldn't help but criticise their 'distancing' techniques.
"Hang on where is the social distancing 😂 is Holly only following the rules while she's on live telly? Or is it one rule for us and one rule for celebrities? 🤔 🤷 I'm just curious. If this was. I duno Sandra from down the street, she would be getting slated for this photo... rules are very confusing 🤷♀️," wrote one follower.

Someone else commented, "No social distancing? Are you all living together?".
Another said, "I was going to say they are not social distancing at all 🙄 but everyone seems to be ignoring the rules anyway, it is just disrespectful. Makes you wonder if the two metre rule they follow on camera just gets ignored the rest of the time".

Following the backlash, Holly deleted her Instagram photo but her friends have kept the snap up on their accounts.
Government guidelines state that you're allowed a gathering of up to 30 people but you must still adhere to the one metre social distance rule.
However, as of next week (Monday 14 September) there will be a rule of six.
"Nobody should meet socially in groups of more than six – and if you do, you will be breaking the law.
"This will apply in any setting, indoors or outdoors, at home or in the pub," Health and Social Care Secretary Matt Hancock has said.
