Holly Willoughby celebrated the end of the recent series of Dancing On Ice with a slap up lunch with her close pals Nicole Appleton and Shiarra Bell.
The TV presenter, 43, hosted the final of the skating show on Sunday night with her co-host Stephen Mulhern, 46, where Ryan Thomas was crowned the winner.
Following the conclusion of the show, Holly joined Nicole, 49, Shirra for a boozy lunch of wine and oysters at Il Borro, Mayfair, London on Wednesday.
Documenting the lunch on her Instagram page, Holly posted a smiley selfie with the two women, which she captioned: ‘Beautiful lunch with my beautiful girls.’
She also posted a video giving a glimpse of their lunch, which featured wine, fresh oysters with mignonette and hot sauce, as well as plates of pasta.

While Christine Lampard, who did not appear to join them at the meal, left a string of hearts.
It comes after The Mail On Sunday exclusively revealed Holly has been offered a lucrative deal by ITV bosses to return to host Dancing On Ice next year in a bid to keep her at the channel.
For the first time in 20 years the presenter will not be contracted for a show on the channel after tonight’s finale of the skate series, leaving the door open for their rivals to swoop in and hire her.
But The Mail on Sunday revealed that the programme will be back for another season, and that they are already in talks with Holly about her anchoring it alongside Stephen in a clear sign to other broadcasters to keep their hands off of their star.
A source close to the show said: ‘Dancing On Ice is definitely coming back in 2025 and the plan is that Holly will host it.
‘Contracts are being negotiated but the chiefs love her and they know that there are others who would love to sign her up but ITV love her and they want to keep her very much part of the ITV furniture for years to come.
‘Holly has a real fondness for the show, it really catapulted her career from a children’s presenter into grown up television so ITV very much hope that she will agree to the deal.’
Sources say that the upper echelons of ITV are also looking at other big shows that she can present after she quit This Morning after 14 years last October following a plot to kidnap and murder her as the BBC are said to be determined to hire her to host more of their programmes.

On Sunday, Holly shared a rare Instagram photo of her daughter Belle at work with her on Dancing On Ice on Mothering Sunday.
Holly had her little girl on her lap as she looked at a monitor alongside her mother’s co-host.
Belle was wearing a padded coat, while Holly was wrapped in a camel coat worn over a polka dot dress.
She captioned the image with the words: ‘When mums have to work mother’s day… so lucky to take my mini me with me…’
Holly is also mother to son Harry, 14 and Chester, eight, who she shares with her producer husband Dan Baldwin, 49.

Holly went full glam for the Dancing On Ice final on Sunday night, as she sparkled away in a silver sequin gown.
The former This Morning host showcased her incredible physique in the dress, which featured a plunging neckline.
But fans were worried the star was dangerously close to suffering a wardrobe malfunction, as they shared their opinion on the strange placement of her right strap.
While one strap was pulled straight, the second was off the shoulder, with many viewers urging Holly to pull it up correctly.
Taking to Twitter one pleaded: ‘Someone tell Holly Willoughby to pull her right strap up on her dress’.
