Beauty mogul Victoria has shared a sweet family portrait to Instagram showing the family-of-six standing in front of their Christmas tree. The former Spice Girl, 47, looks stunning in a festive green figure-hugging dress while David and sons Cruz, 16, Romeo, 19, and 22-year-old Brooklyn all looked smartly dressed in suits. Daughter Harper, 10, completes the family portrait in a sweet navy dress.

Holly Willoughby

It looks like Holly Willoughby spent her Christmas Day snuggled under the Christmas tree with the latest addition to her family. This Morning star and her husband Dan Baldwin welcomed a new dog, a Golden Retriever named Bailey, back in November - and the two have been inseparable ever since. In her Christmas Day post, Bailey could be seen wearing a red velvet bow around his neck which matched perfectly with Holly’s festive red lip.

Taking to Instagram Stories, he shared a snap of all of them opening their presents and gushed: “My life right here…” followed by a heart emoji.
