Holly Willoughby has broken her month-long social media silence with a cryptic post teasing a new project she has been filming. The 43-year-old former This Morning presenter posted a photo on Instagram of herself perched on a radiator, captioned: “I’ll be here, warming my 🍑 on the radiator until you get to see what we filmed. A night of glorious giggles.”
Willoughby gave no direct clues about the project’s content or air date. She wore a floral Rosie mini dress from Queens Of Archive, valued at £285. The post marked her first appearance on social media in over a month, her last being in celebration of her lifestyle brand Wylde Moon’s third anniversary.
Meanwhile, her former co-host Phillip Schofield recently returned to television, appearing on Channel 5's Cast Away. The reality show, where he appeared to mock his former co-host, received mixed reviews. Willoughby reportedly did not watch Schofield’s television return.
According to reports, Schofield allegedly blames Willoughby for his downfall. A source claimed that the day before he stepped down from This Morning, he messaged her on WhatsApp saying: “You brought me down.” Another source close to Schofield told the Mirror that he believed “a simple gesture from her could have saved his job”, but her refusal sealed his fate.
Willoughby reportedly told him she didn’t want to “feed the narrative” and that ITV bosses allegedly told her not to comment publicly. Schofield departed from This Morning in May 2023 after admitting to an “unwise but not illegal” relationship with a younger colleague. Willoughby exited five months later, in October, after police uncovered a kidnap plot against her.
