Holly Willoughby has divided fans with her ‘iffy’ tan.

The This Morning presenter, who just returned to the show after taking time off over the Easter break, spent her Easter holidays away on a beach holiday to the Maldives with her family.

And it looks like the sunny trip left the mum-of-three with a rather questionable look – specifically when it comes to her skin.

The blonde beauty returned to the This Morning sofa sporting a sun kissed glow from her Maldives trip, but viewers were quick to point out that the tan has left her looking rather ‘orange’.

Taking to Twitter to criticise the long-time TV host, viewers shared a series of tweets that made fun of the 38-year-old.
