Holly has a very close bond with her family and often shared photographs with her nan and her mum, Lynne.
The mum of three has previously spoken about the close bond she shares with her mum and said she talks to Lynne "a few times a day".
"I still run everything past her," she told . "If I'm about to buy a pair of shoes, I'll go, 'Mum, do you think I should be doing this?'"

She added: "It's silly. I'm a fully grown woman, of course I can buy shoes. But I still like to talk to her about everything."
Just last week Holly posed with her mum Lynne, 70, in a stunning selfie that revealed she has inherited her beauty.
The 38-year-old star shared the photo on Instagram and simply captioned it "Mumma".
They share the same piercing blue eyes and golden blonde hair.

Admitting she likes to talk to her mum "about everything", last year she told "My mum and dad have been together for years and years and they’re a real team.
"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."
