A few days earlier, Holly shared some photos from her pre-Christmas skiing holiday, telling fans she felt reluctant to come home. The presenter hit the slopes for a week-long break, returning to the UK just in time for Christmas. Sharing a selfie, Holly wrote: "Home now... always hard to say good bye to this magical place... felt literally on top of the world." The 36-year-old looked stylish as ever in skiwear, with mirrored ski glasses and a cord jacket that featured a faux fur trimmed hood.
