Popular TV presenter Holly Willoughby was reduced to tears on live TV yesterday (Thursday 7th February), as she was presented with an early birthday present from best friend and co-host Phillip Schofield.
Ahead of her 38th birthday on Sunday, Holly was on tenterhooks as a crew member rolled out a trolly with her present on it – a basket full of adorable Pomeranian puppies!
Overwhelmed and instantly in love, it wasn’t long before the tears started flowing for Holly, who has a history of getting emotional when around cute animals.
Sadly, the puppies weren’t to keep as Phil confirmed she would have to give them back at the end of the show.
But the Dancing On Ice presenter wasn’t about to let them go that easily, and begged producer husband Dan Baldwin to let her keep one.
“If my husband’s watching…darling please,” she implored.
Holly doesn’t have a dog (yet!) but she does two cats called Teddy and Bluebell, who regularly feature on her social media.

Viewers were quick to jump behind the cause and added their own pleas to let Holly keep the puppy, who she named Bertie.
“Take Berite home @hollywills you won’t regret it” [sic], said one commenter.
“Holly you definitely need to keep one they’re so adorable” [sic], said another.
It comes after Holly admitted earlier this week that she has been lying to her husband Dan in order to fulfill one of her guilty pleasures!
