Holly Willoughby appeared completely captivated as she joined her friend Michael McIntyre at the Monaco Grand Prix qualifying session on Saturday.
The TV presenter, 45, looked animated and fully focused on the action as she watched the drama unfold from the sidelines alongside the comedian, 50.
With her phone ready in hand, Holly appeared keen not to miss a single moment from one of Formula 1’s most glamorous weekends.
The former This Morning star looked effortlessly stylish for the occasion, wearing a light blue playsuit featuring delicate broderie anglaise detailing. She completed the summer-ready look with sunglasses, tan sandals and a glowing bronzed tan.
Holly’s appearance at the prestigious racing event comes after years of interviewing some of Formula 1’s biggest names during her 14-year run on This Morning, including Lando Norris and Lewis Hamilton.
The Monaco Grand Prix weekend also attracted major celebrity attention, with Lewis Hamilton supported from the Ferrari garage by Kim Kardashian and her sister Khloe.
Hamilton has said he remains determined to chase what many consider an incredibly difficult dream — securing his first victory for Ferrari at the iconic Monaco Grand Prix.
The seven-time world champion is hoping to claim the 106th win of his career and finally break through for Ferrari after joining the legendary team.
Meanwhile, George Russell’s title hopes faced fresh pressure after his Mercedes team-mate Kimi Antonelli delivered a stunning performance to take pole position for the Monaco Grand Prix.
Russell qualified in sixth place, four-tenths behind the Italian teenager, whose speed has quickly become one of the biggest talking points of the season.
The British driver struggled throughout the afternoon and complained about a lack of grip as his hopes of a stronger qualifying result faded.
Max Verstappen was second fastest, while Hamilton secured third for Ferrari, keeping his hopes of a maiden Ferrari win alive, even if his chances looked slightly less certain than they had after Friday practice.
Charles Leclerc, racing in front of his home crowd, qualified fourth in the other Ferrari, while Red Bull’s Isack Hadjar was fifth quickest.
Hamilton admitted the race would be far from easy but insisted nothing was impossible.
“You know how these races go. It’s very, very difficult,” he said. “I hope we can get a really good start and maybe apply some pressure. I probably need rain. But nothing’s impossible.”
He added that Monaco can often become a procession, with cars closely following one another while dealing with overheating brakes and difficult track conditions.
Still, Hamilton said he would try to stay close to Antonelli and Verstappen, hoping to pressure them into mistakes during the race.
As the motorsport world focused on the action on track, Holly’s glamorous appearance with Michael added an extra touch of showbiz sparkle to an already star-studded Monaco weekend.
