Extend the functional by continuity (Functional analysis)

Homework Statement

Let E be a dense linear subspace of a normed vector space X, and let Y be a
Banach space. Suppose T₀ \in £(E, Y) is a bounded linear operator from E to Y.
Show that T₀ can be extended to T\in £(E, Y) (by continuity) without increasing its norm.

The Attempt at a Solution

Someone kindly gave me a hint. I am trying to work out the details. The deadline is approaching. So I put the question here just in case. Thanks.
For this particular problem you want to show that if (xn) converges to x then T0(xn) is a Cauchy sequence and then define f(x) as the limit of the sequence. Finally you need to show that the map is a well-defined bounded linear function.

Use that T0 is uniform continuous.
