Feeling sad: Holly Willoughby, 39, shared a beautiful Easter poem written by her sister Kelly, 41, on Sunday, as they continue to be kept apart amid the nationwide coronavirus lockdown
The poem, titled Easter Lament, read: ‘It’s tinged with sadness, this funny Easter day, As I gaze out from my sofa and wipe a tear away.
Thoughts of grief and suffering, make my heart beat slow and heavy, It’s a menial task to stay at home, but means so much to many.
‘To think of all those angels giving their all to keep us safe, We owe a debt of gratitude we never, ever repay.
‘If I could have one special wish, from that chap, the Easter Bunny, It wouldn’t be too much to ask; not power, or fame, or money.

‘I’ll never again take for granted, this longing in my heart, And I promise once the beast is defeated, we’ll never be apart.
‘So, as I blow you a kiss from the sofa, on this, this funny Easter day, Have faith that we’ll rise again together and nothing will keep us away!’

BFFs: In a 2014 interview, Holly said of her relationship with her sister Kelly: ‘We’re more like friends than sisters’
In a 2014 interview with the Guardian, Holly said of her relationship with her sister: ‘We’re more like friends than sisters. We even bought a place together in Putney.
‘You would expect some fireworks, but because we have the same friends and have different roles within that group, none of that ever came into it.
‘I’m more likely to be the one to say, “everyone back to mine” and cook for everyone, whereas she’s much better at tidying up.’
Mother-of-one Kelly is a successful author, having co-written School for Stars, a collection of children’s books, with her famous sister.
