Holly Willoughby fans say she’s ‘channelled Princess Diana’ in stunning photo

Wow!

Holly Willoughby appears to be channeling the late Princess Diana in her latest selfie.

Identical to the red jumper dotted with white sheep and a single black sheep the Princess of Wales famously wore in the 1980’s.

Designed by Warm & Wonderful in 1979, Diana was photographed multiple times wearing their ‘black sheep’ knitted jumper.

An inside source told The Sun: “It’s no more than Holly deserves, the nation loves her.

“She’s not changed since day one, and unlike some people in showbiz, Holly’s got her feet firmly on the ground. But this is just the start, she’d love to branch out and have her own TV chat show or do front more serious documentary roles. Holly can do just about anything she puts her mind to.”
