The card included a hand-drawn illustration of Bailey among some flowers and was bordered by red love hearts. Bailey was pictured snoozing next to the handwritten letter addressed to her.

Holly admitted that welcoming Bailey into the family changed her life. Back in November, the star wrote on her lifestyle website Wylde Moon: "Bailey came into our life this month and has changed everything… My daughter has been campaigning for us to get a dog since she was able to talk, and we have been waiting for the right time for a dog to fit into our family life. Now, is that time."
