It isn't the first time fans have commented on the resemblance between the star and her daughters.
Last October fans pointed out the likeness after Holden shared a sweet photo of her with her two daughters on holiday.
Sharing the image, Holden wrote: "Me and my babies... my babies and me."
She can be seen posing, in what appears to be the lobby of a stylish hotel, with her arms wrapped around Lexi and Hollie.
And the comments section of the snapshot was quickly flooded with comments from fans pointing out the likeness.
"So beautiful – you look like sisters!" the influencer Anna Saccone wrote.
In June last year, she shared a photo on Instagram with her eldest daughter Lexi from another holiday – and fans were similarly struck by their likeness.

Holden has previously revealed how she's teaching her teenager body confidence.
Speaking to the Sunday Telegraph’s Stella magazine, she said: "It's so hard for girls now, and if Lexi ever starts a sentence with, 'Do you think I look f...', I cut her off with, 'Do not even say that word in my house.'"
Holden explained that she stays slim by running four times a week and enjoying a healthy vegetarian diet.
She added: “I believe in being able to have that slice of cake.”
As well as providing guidance on body confidence, Holden has also revealed she is a bit of a tiger mum, so much so that she was once banned from school sports day by her daughter because she gets “massively competitive”.
The star said on her radio show that her eldest daughter, then 13, didn’t want her mother to support her from the sidelines.
“Lexi is a bit older and she has banned me from going to her sport's day,” Holden said.
"It's on Friday but she isn't interested in anything parental."
Asked by her Heart Breakfast co-host Jamie Theakston if her competitiveness played a part in the ban, Holden agreed and admitted that she is “massively competitive”.
