And the girls are the spit of each other – with big blue eyes, large beaming smiles and luscious long blonde locks.

They look SO alike!

Holly’s fans were beside themselves when they saw the stunning twosome.

“Wow that’s where you get your looks, beautiful ladies,” one gushing fan commented alongside the picture.

“Beautiful girls good genes,” another added.

A third wrote: “Your mum is just as beautiful as you.”

A woman who apparently knew Holly when she was at school added: “Wow your mum is still looking beautiful.. Remember her in the school run years! Have bumped into her over the years with my Dad in Henfield.”

But this isn’t the first time she has posted a pic of her mum. She did the same thing last year and again fans at the time were gushing with compliments.

Holly says she and her mum are very close and they speak “a few times a day!” adding: “I still run everything past her. If I’m about to buy a pair of shoes I’ll go, ‘Mum, do you think I should be doing this?’

“It’s silly, I’m a fully grown woman, of course I can buy shoes, but I like to talk to her about everything.”

Holly, who picked up three TRIC awards this week, also credits her mum on the way she looks at life and love.

“My mum and dad have been together for years and years, and they’re a real team,” she told the Mirror.

“My mum instilled in me that importance of family life and being married to somebody who is a real partner.

“From watching her with my dad over the years, I knew that was something I really wanted for myself.”

Holly recently posted a gorgeous picture of her mum, her niece and her daughter Belle to mark International Women’s Day.
