Holly Willoughby goes make-up free as she shows off her gardening skills by growing potatoes

HOLLY Willoughby went make-up free as she showed off her gardening skills on Instagram.

The 39-year-old star proudly shared a snap of the potatoes in her vegetable patch as she made the most of today’s warm weather.

In the photo, Holly is fresh-faced as she beams at the camera without any make-up on.

Her blonde hair is tied back and secured with a patterned bandanna, and the mother-of-three is dressed casually in a baggy grey jumper and wellington boots.

She is holding onto a spade, which is covered in mud, with the spuds also in shot.

Holly simply used emojis to caption the post – including the sunshine, green heart, and potato icons.

The cheerful snap won approval from Holly’s 6.6million followers, with some of her famous friends commenting.

TV presenter Dermot O’Leary wrote: “Now we’re talking”, with pregnant Rochelle Humes adding: “Yessssssss”.

On Friday, Holly took to her Instagram page to reveal that she’d stockpiled on her best pal Phillip Schofield’s wine.

She shared a photo of herself grinning while posing with the boxes of white and red, quipping in the caption: “I mean… it’s Friday… work and home schooling done for the week… I can’t go for a drink with @schofe but I figure this is the next best thing!

“Thank you @schofe for the most delicious wine!”

Her This Morning co-host commented: “Enjoy but remember there’s three bottles in each!”

But Holly had every reason to celebrate this week after being left emotional at the arrival of her brand new niece, Mabel.

The star confessed that she hadn’t stopped crying as she introduced the newborn to This Morning viewers with a sweet snap just hours after the little one’s birth.
