Holly Willoughby 'poised to make TV return'
Holly Willoughby is reportedly on the cusp of making a return to TV.
Holly Willoughby is set to make her return to TV on Disney.
The 45-year-old presenter quit her role on This Morning in 2023, but Holly is set to film a secret chat show pilot with Disney later this month.
A source told The Sun newspaper: "Holly has been sought by Disney for a new show and is filming a pilot in the next few weeks.
"It’s called The Holding Space with Holly Willoughby and will see her interviewing high-profile women.
"The whole premise of the show is empowerment and authenticity, with Holly leading the conversation. It’s a really ambitious project, with really high production values."
The project has the backing of Box To Box, a well-monied production company, and they're determined to make a success of the show.
The insider shared: "The production company, Box To Box, has thrown a fair bit of cash behind it already and is confident it’ll be commissioned by Disney.
"It would be huge for Holly and would mark an exciting new chapter in her career."
Holly quit her role on This Morning in October 2023, 14 years after she joined the ITV show.
In a statement posted on Instagram, Holly said: "I have let ITV know today that after 14 years, I will not be returning to This Morning.
"To everyone who has ever worked on the show over the years, thank you so so much. 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."
Holly also thanked the viewers for their support.
She said: "Most of all, thank you to the wonderful viewers. You've been so loyal, so supportive and the very best company every day.
"Richard and Judy said 'we only look after this show, it will always belong to the viewers'.
"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."
