Holly Willoughby lets her hair down in white swimsuit on sun soaked holiday

Holly Willoughby looked as carefree as ever as she headed to the beach in a white swimsuit. The former This Morning host, 44, threw her hands up in the air as she headed out to sea on her Portuguese getaway.

She decided to go for a vintage inspired look with the plunging swimsuit and wore her beachy wave hair tussled around her face. Holly completed her beach look with a pair of large brown sunglasses as she enjoyed a day in the sun.

The mum-of-three captioned her snap with a wave, sun and beach emoji before being flooded with compliments. It comes after David Beckham ditches his iconic tiny trunks on yacht trip with Gordon Ramsay's family.

Many fans were quick to leave red love heart emojis under her post, while one said: "You look so beautiful." Another added: "Enjoy your holiday holly." Someone else commented: "You're absolutely gorgeous Holly, so beautiful babe."

Holly has been sunning it up in Portugal this summer, and even admitted to missing Oasis' huge reunion shows at Wembley Stadium.

She rocked a black strapless bikini with a matching Adidas bucket hat as she revealed she wouldn't be going to the shows. "When your not in Wembley but your head is… have fun tonight if you’re lucky enough to be going," she confessed.

Holly is making sure she embraces the rest as for the first time in years, she has been left without an upcoming TV show. This summer, she reached a point in her career where she hasn't got a programme lined-up for the first time in 21 years.

Her usual presenting gig on Dancing On Ice came to an end as the show has been axed. Holly's other job hosting Bear Hunt with Bear Grylls also won't be happening again as that's been axed as well.

She made the decision to leave You Bet! as co-host Stephen Mulhern will be presenting the show alone. However, all is not lost for Holly as her husband Dan Baldwin reportedly has a plan.

He is said to be working on a reboot of Record Breakers, which means Holly could be in with a chance of a presenting job. A source told the Sun it would make "perfect sense" for Holly to be up for the role.

They said: "Record Breakers is likely to be a prime time hit and it would make perfect sense for Holly to take the reins. She has worked alongside Dan before and the pair know what it takes to make great telly."

Holly first returned back to TV last year after taking an 18 month break. She declined to participate in Channel 5's documentary, The Plot To Kill Holly Willoughby, which told the story of the plot by obsessed security guard Gavin Plumb to kidnap, rape and murder her.

The traumatic experience is what led her to step down from her role on ITV1's This Morning and take a break from television altogether.
