Did you know the This Morning presenter started her career as an underwear model? Ooo la la

Holly Willoughby has been presenting This Morning with best pal Phillip Schofield (sorry, Ferne) since 2009. The duo have won the hearts of the nation with their hilarious on-screen antics and adorable friendship.

Whether they’re getting into a giggling fit after an unexpected innuendo, or turning up to work with a hangover in their clothes from the night before, they are always brightening up our mornings.

Holly's a bit of a fashion icon too, and we're always tracking down where she got her latest outfits from.

But before Holly became a household name on This Morning, and way before her days as Keith Lemon’s right-hand woman on Celebrity Juice, Holly was a model.

Now, footage of her first ever modelling job has resurfaced and we can’t believe just how different the TV presenter looks.

At just 18, Holly’s first TV appearance came as a young woman in an advert for bra brand, Pretty Polly.

In the commercial, Holly is without her trademark blonde locks and instead sports a long, tousled brunette hair style.

As she explains how the bras work, Holly is seen staring into a mirror saying: “Don’t squeeze them. Lift them!” in an American accent.

We are always championing Holly’s amazing style here at CloserOnline, and by the looks of things she’s just as fashion conscious when it comes to her bras.

Perhaps this explains why Keith Lemon has nicknamed her Holly Willough-booby?
