In the video, TV star Holly can be seen laughing as she fights off licks and kisses from the four legged puppy who is desperate to get close to her.
Sharing the clip on Instagram, Holly captioned the video: “Puppy snuggles… ‘not the ears!’”
Fans have commented as one pointed out: “Dogs are just so bloody lush aren’t they.”
Another shared: “This is too cute.”
“Something humbling about seeing this …. for us fans, we are happy your in a happy place…God bless and enjoy,” said a third.
Another asked: “Aww lovely puppy kisses. You really know how a pup will really be when they are affectionate like this. Have you got two dogs now? How is Bailey?”
Replying back, Holly revealed the pup is actually not hers, but belongs to her sister – who can be heard laughing in the background of the video.
The video comes as Holly has been back on TV screens presenting the latest series of Dancing On Ice for ITV, as well as her new show Celebrity Bear Hunt.
Celebrity Bear Hunt sees Holly presenting the show for Netflix, where she was reportedly paid almost £1million to front the show with adventurer Bear Grylls.
The show sees Bear take stars, including Strictly’s Shirley Ballas, Spice Girl Mel B, The Saturdays singer Una Healy and ex-tennis ace Boris Becker, into the Costa Rica jungle.

Once there, he hunts the celebrities through the wilderness, until they are all eliminated from the contest, bar the last person standing, who is declared the winner.
Former This Morning host Holly, who also fronts Dancing on Ice, features in many of the links between scenes.
Holly previously presented ITV daytime show This Morning for 14 years before resigning in October 2023.
The star took a step back, revealing on Instagram: “I have let ITV know today that after 14 years, I will not be returning to This Morning.
“It’s been an honour to just be part of its story and I know this story has many chapters left to go.
“Sadly, however, I now feel I have to make this decision for me and my family. I will miss you all so much.”
She added: “This is such a difficult goodbye, you are incredible and I forever will be proud of what we’ve done together.
“Thank you to everyone at ITV for being supportive. To every guest who has sat on our sofa, thank you.
“Most of all, thank you to the wonderful viewers. You’ve been so loyal, so supportive and the very best company every day.”
The decision to step back came after a difficult time for Holly, after her friendship with co-star Phillip Schofield had fallen apart in the wake of the scandal involving his inappropriate relationship with a younger colleague on the show.
