Holly Willoughby has criticised the porn industry for its unrealistic portrayal of women's bodies, specifically calling for more 'normal fannies' in adult content. The 45-year-old former This Morning host made the remarks during a candid interview on her new YouTube show, Holly Willoughby Together, with OnlyFans creator Lily Phillips.
Phillips Opens Up About 'Designer Vagina' Surgery
Phillips, 24, who gained notoriety after sleeping with 101 men in a day, discussed her 'designer vagina' — a labiaplasty that reduces the size of the labia minora and costs up to £4,000 according to the NHS website. She told Willoughby she 'regretted [the surgery] slightly' as she could have been 'that representation in the adult industry for the big labia community'.
When asked why she felt the need to have the procedure, Phillips explained it was for 'personal' reasons when she started OnlyFans at 19, citing her 'own insecurity' and added that 'watching porn' could have influenced her.
Willoughby's Plea for Realistic Representation
Willoughby responded: 'This is the problem, I think because… women watching porn are only seeing certain vaginas and vulvas and they're going: “Oh they're all meant to be beautiful”… then you see your own and you're like “Oh my gosh”.' Referring to 'extra skin', she added: 'It's actually what women's bodies look like. My big issue with porn is where I just go: “Please just show normal fannies”'.
Phillips agreed, saying she 'tries to be open and honest' about her surgery with her audience, which Willoughby appreciated.
Other Topics Discussed in the Interview
The conversation also touched on the smell of 'sex marathons', Phillips' 'friendship' with Bonnie Blue, and the downsides of working in the adult industry. In a previous episode, Willoughby recalled her most embarrassing live TV moment from the early 2000s when her vest top popped open while dancing with hypnotised boy band Blue, leaving her breast exposed. She joked the incident landed her on page 3 of The Sun.
