News about Holly Willoughby

Magazines were big business in the '90s and '00s as a thriving industry with legions of loyal fans. It was the era of butterfly clips, jelly shoes, Top of the Pops and the Spice Girls - all in all, a simpler time. The competition was fierce to land the biggest celeb, get the best gossip, or find the most relatable cover line (even though some of these haven't aged too well…) In recent times the UK's magazine offering has somewhat dwindled. Last year approximately 565 million magazines were circulated, in comparison with a huge 1.6 billion circulated in the year 2000 (via the Press Gazette) - AKA the golden era of print. At FEMAIL, we've delved through the archives to find some of the most-loved magazine covers and extracts from years gone by buy that will transport you back to another era.

It has been a rollercoaster of a year for the team at This Morning after both Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield resigned from the show in 2023.  While new hosts Cat Deeley and Ben Shephard have been settling into the role well since their debut in March, it seems fans aren't entirely convinced.  Cat, 47, and Ben, 49, front the show from Monday to Thursday, but viewers are still treated to an episode from Alison Hammond and Dermot O'Leary every Friday. 

Bear Grylls OBE has revealed he accepts the label of 'the biggest TV flop in history' on night two of his Never Give Up! tour in Newcastle on Thursday. The former SAS trooper's latest show Bear Hunt will air on Netflix in 2025 with Holly Willoughby already confirmed as one of the twelve celebrities competing.  Bear Hunt will see the celebs dropped into a Central American jungle as prey for one of the world's most fearsome predators. Survival expert Bear, who opened his Never Give Up! live tour in Glasgow 's Armadillo venue on Thursday, revealed that he has made around twenty-five TV shows that no one has ever heard of. Bear told his packed-out Newcastle audience: 'I actually listed it out to [my children] only a few weeks ago, all of the TV shows we've had that have been canned after not just one season but sometimes like a couple of episodes in.

The arrival of a beautiful new colleague has all the potential to leave even the most secure of women feeling discombobulated. So one might imagine that This Morning's Josie Gibson has been rather jittery since Cat Deeley arrived to replace Holly Willoughby as the show's main presenter last month.

Holly Willoughby gathered her famous friends and loved ones on Wednesday evening to say her goodbyes ahead of a two-month trip to Costa Rica. The presenter, 43, is jetting to Central America this month with co-host Bear Grylls, 49, to film her upcoming jungle survival show Bear Hunt, which will see 10 celebrities put to the test in the treacherous terrain. Ensuring she was sent off in style, the mother-of-three gathered pals including Christine Lampard and Nicola Appleton for a farewell supper at Mexican cantina Ixchel on the King's Road. The Chelsea eatery is a celebrity hotspot loved by the likes of Poppy Delelvingne, Lisa Snowdon and Jaime Winstone and even has the royal seal of approval - with Princess Beatrice a fan.For Holly's intimate soiree, the group booked out a private room at the venue, owned by restauranteur Fraser Carruthers , and was treated to a tasting menu (inset) with personalised cocktails.

WARNING: Graphic content. Television presenter Holly, 43, and her co-host Bear Grylls, 49, will jet to Costa Rica with 10 celebrities this month for the upcoming adventure show. It is claimed ex-special forces and former ­military guns for hire have been brought in to protect Holly from drugs gangs and kidnappers while in the Central American country which has seen a massive uptick in gang and drug violence in recent years. The once peaceful nation saw a record number of homicides in 2023, and a 66 percent increase in murders from 2013 to 2023. More than 70 percent of the killings have been put down to drug trafficking as local gangs - as well as cartels from Mexico and Colombia - fight for control. With authorities struggling to get to grips with the explosion of killings, Costa Rica has even been forced to call on the European Union for help in its battle against the drug trafficking epidemic gripping the country. The influence of Mexican drug gangs and increased cocaine output in Colombia pushed murders to record levels last year, casting a shadow over a country that has long been a beacon of stability in the region.

Netflix is reportedly spending £1million on security for Holly Willoughby while she films her new show for the streaming platform, Bear Hunt. Television presenter Holly, 43, and her co-host Bear Grylls, 49, will jet to Costa Rica with 10 celebrities this month. It is claimed ex-special forces and former ­military guns for hire have been brought in to protect Holly from drugs gangs and kidnappers while in the Central American country.

Josie Gibson has shed light on the inner workings of This Morning, in the wake of the scandal-ridden show's huge overhaul in recent months.  Speaking exclusively to MailOnline, the TV host, 39, spoke about life on the show since Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby's shock departure last year - as she blasted allegations of toxicity among the 'amazing' cast and crew on the show.  Josie first appeared on This Morning in 2019 as a segment presenter, during which she suffered a panic attack, which she admits could have derailed her future, however praised bosses for letting her continue despite debilitating nerves. 

Ant and Dec choked back tears as they said an emotional farewell at the end of the final Saturday Night Takeaway this weekend.  The duo, both 48, drew the series to a close after 20-years with a heartfelt speech thanking viewers at home. 

Ashley Roberts shared a heartfelt handwritten note from Ant and Dec as she joined the duo for their final Saturday Night Takeaway. The former Pussycat Doll star, 42, took to her Instagram Stories with a glimpse of her return to the series which she appeared on between 2013 and 2016. The presenting duo, both 48, brought an end to the beloved series after 22 years with a supersized two-hour special, featuring a bumper lineup that included Amanda Holden, Holly Willoughby, S Club 7 and Girls Aloud.

Holly Willoughby and Rylan Clark caused havoc as they pelted cake at Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly during the final episode of Saturday Night Takeaway this weekend. Ant and Dec announced last year that they would be halting the ITV1 entertainment series, with the final instalment of season 20 airing this week. And their friends Holly, 43, and Rylan, 35, paid them a visit in a bid to seek revenge against the hosts as part of the infamous I'm A Celebrity…Get Out Of Me Ear! prank segment.

The last ever episode of Ant and Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway took a chaotic turn, after a contestant accidentally swore during a hilarious segment. The presenting duo brought an end to the beloved series after 22 years with a supersized two-hour special, featuring a bumper lineup that included Amanda Holden, Holly Willoughby, S Club 7 and Girls Aloud. One of the show's most popular segments was Ring My Bell, where contestants' neighbours had to frantically rush to ring their doorbell in a bid to win £500.

Holly Willoughby is reportedly caught up in a row with new Netflix bosses after reports of her huge salary for reality show Bear Hunt was leaked. Last month MailOnline revealed that the presenter, 43, would co-hosting the new jungle themed show alongside Bear Grylls, followed by claims the streaming service had splashed out £10M on a star-studded line up. It was also claimed that Holly had negotiated herself a 'very attractive package' bagging a £1M payday for her first show away from terrestrial television.

Just when we thought it had all gone quiet on the Montecito front, up pops Meghan with her exciting new venture. It's a Netflix series celebrating 'the joys of cooking and gardening, entertaining and... ' - wait for it - 'friendship'. This, from a woman who has dumped most of her pre-Harry friends as well as her entire family (apart from mum Doria) while also luring Harry away from his old friends. A woman who has such a reputation for defriending people, there's a verb for it in the Urban Dictionary - being 'Markled'.

ITV have pulled out all the stops for the final series of the show, as it comes to an end after 20 incredible series. And for the final special edition of Get Out Of Me Ear, the presenting duo let some of their previously pranked celebrities take revenge in a hilarious segment. 

This Morning's new hosts Cat Deeley and Ben Shephard (pictured, left and main) have higher ratings than Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield (pictured, right) got in 2023 and have attracted 4.5 million viewers in just a week. During their three weeks on-air on the daytime show, viewing has been up compared to the average in the year to date and, during this time, has achieved its highest three performances of the year so far.

This Morning viewing figures have dipped since Cat Deeley and Ben Shephard began helming the show, according to a new report.  Following the departure of Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield, the ITV show was throw into chaos as producers scrambled to find permanent replacements.  Cat, 47, and Ben, 49, were finally unveiled as the show's new host's last month, with their debut episode drawing an average viewership of 806,000 and a peak of one million - among the show's highest ratings of 2024 so far.

Gladiators bosses have reportedly named the star who is at the top of their wish list for a celebrity spin-off of the show. They want the fighting fit broadcaster, who previously offered to host the reboot, to compete. They are also eyeing-up two hunky reality personalities.

When Fern Britton made her return to the This Morning studios at the end of March, it was an emotional moment. While the location was different - ITV have moved buildings since her departure in 2009 - it brought back some memories for the star. Not all of them good. Mostly, say friends of Fern, because of how her exit, back in 2009, was mired in such bitter acrimony following a fall out with her co-host Phillip Schofield. So powerful was he at the time that their feud meant there could only be one winner, and Fern quickly found herself pushed aside to make way for the much younger Holly Willoughby - Schofield's then best friend. But once again on the sofa, those who know Fern say that she was 'thrilled' to be back as she was interviewed by new hosts Ben Shephard and Cat Deeley about her three-week stint on ITV's Celebrity Big Brother. 'Fern felt right at home,' says a friend. 'It was quite something for her to return to the show after what went on with her and Phillip but she loved it.'

No Ordinary Designer Label Limited, the company behind the fashion brand's UK stores, recruited administrators from Teneo last month. The retail behemoth has 86 stores in the United Kingdom, including 25 located in John Lewis department stores and 35 concessions, as well as seven airport stores and eight Ted Baker outlet stores. Ted Baker, who opened in Glasgow in 1988, has received numerous celebrity endorsements including Holly Willoughby, Amal Clooney, Amanda Holden, Emma Stone, and Myleene Klass. However, administrators have revealed that some sites in England will be demolished within days.

In the meantime, Netflix bosses have said they forked out £10 million on a new reality TV show hosted by Holly to ensure a'star-studded line-up.' The TV host, 43, took to her social media to share a step-by-step guide to how she dyes her roots at home with store-bought dye.

Holly Willoughby and Bear Grylls will co-host Bear Hunt, a brand new Netflix reality show Bear Hunt, last month, with a twist. Now it has been announced that Netflix bosses are going all in on their contestants with a reported investment of £10 million in order to keep up with major rivals such as I'm A Celebrity and Strictly Come Dancing. Bear's production is bringing Holly's first show away from terrestrial television.

Hate to sound like a misanthrope, but I do despair about humanity. When did people get so stupid and selfish?What happened to common sense?Was it washed away on the outgoing tide, along with raw intelligence and compassion for our fellow innocents? Not to mention the old school belief of banding together for the greater good of all. I'm not discussing the major topics, such as the wars in Ukraine and Gaza, but God knows, they are not bad enough. We've arrived at a point where the entire civilized world is urging President Putin and Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu in Israel to refrain from the fighting and bombing and killing, but no one is paying attention.

After the revived show became a ratings hit, the gladiators are back to the BBC with a second series and a celebrity spin-off. The physically demanding game-show was revived by the television industry in January, 32-years since its initial ITV debut and 16-years after Sky One canceled a similar revival in 1996. With 28 million viewers tuning in for the first episode, it was a ratings winner for the BBC on Saturday night.
