Holly Willoughby has teased her return to the spotlight with a 'coming soon' update, nearly three years after her departure from ITV's This Morning. The 45-year-old presenter unveiled the logo for her new YouTube channel, titled 'Holly Willoughby Together', in an Instagram post that has sparked excitement among fans and celebrity friends alike.
New YouTube venture
In the post, Holly shared a graphic featuring the words 'Holly Willoughby Together' in deep pink against a lighter pink background. She captioned it: "Coming soon… @hollywilloughbytogether." A link to a YouTube page invited viewers to subscribe, with the message: "Hey! Welcome to Holly Willoughby Together. We're almost ready to get together…"
The move comes after Holly stepped down from her long-running role on This Morning in 2023, following the departure of her co-host Phillip Schofield. She continued to present ITV's Dancing On Ice, which has since been 'rested' by the network and did not return this year. She also fronted Netflix reality show Celebrity Bear Hunt with Bear Grylls but did not return for another series of You Bet! after co-hosting its 2024 reboot with Stephen Mulhern.

Fans were quick to express their support. @ay63moh commented: "About time @hollywilloughby whatever it is you will be successful." @xxjendayxx said: "Oh my goodness!

Background on Holly's career moves
Holly's departure from This Morning in 2023 marked the end of a 14-year tenure. She had been a mainstay of daytime television, co-hosting with Phillip Schofield until his exit earlier that year. Since then, she has taken on limited projects, including the Netflix series Celebrity Bear Hunt and the one-off reboot of You Bet! in 2024. The new YouTube channel is expected to be a lifestyle show, marking her most significant return to regular content creation.
