Holly Willoughby teases exciting new TV project as she stuns in leggy snaps after Phillip Schofield’s swipe
Date: 2024-10-29HOLLY Willoughby has teased an exciting new TV project as she stunned in leggy snaps on social media.
The former This Morning presenter revealed that she has been back in front of the camera as she gave a behind the scenes sneak peek.
Holly, 43, posed in a statement black mini dress with puffy sleeves and classy floral details in a small album on Instagram.
She wore her hair in a stylish up-do with light ringlets to frame her stunning makeup look in the trio of snaps.
Black eye-liner with long lashes were applied with a light shadow and a thick pink gloss.
The Dancing on Ice star flaunted her legs in black tights and suede sandal platform heels to match the collar and buttons on the dress.
She captioned the album: “I’ll be here, warming my [peach emoji] on the radiator until you get to see what we filmed. A night of glorious giggles.”
Fans flooded the comments section with gushing praise for the veteran TV presenter.
One fan wrote: “Your presence has been missed immeasurably Holly. Good luck with your current projects and ventures. Lush pictures too.”
“Can’t wait !! What show are you filming?”, enquired a second user.
As a third stated: “Cannot wait to see what you’ve been up to.”
And a fourth added: “Can’t wait to see what you’ve filmed. In the meantime though swoon,” along with a face with hearts emoji.
Holly has been largely off TV screens since she quit her role on This Morning in October 2023.
She hosts Dancing On Ice with her former children’s TV colleague Stephen Mulhern, and is set to front Bear Hunt on Netflix with Bear Grylls.
This comes after Phillip Schofield took a huge swipe at his former best friend and co-star.
On his Channel 5 show Castaway, he lashed out at an unnamed trio which is thought to have included ITV bosses Martin Frizell and Emma Gormley.
Cast Away verdict
By Rod McPhee
OVER three nights – and three hour-long episodes – Phillip Schofield has been bearing his soul in new Channel 5 show Cast Away.
And it’s basically a chance for the former This Morning host to explain the circumstances that saw him leave the show last year.
To put it mildly, he left under something of a cloud, admitting he’d had a fling with a much younger runner on the programme. But in the C5 show he presents his own versions of events – one which is at odds with the narrative that emerged at the time.
He was portrayed as a man who’d had an “unwise” affair, who’d resigned as a result and had let many of his colleagues down.
But in Cast Away Philip insists he was fired by ITV and not for the affair, but because of the bad publicity that surrounded the crimes of his paedophile brother. He summed it up best when he claimed he’d been “pushed under a bus.”
After watching Cast Away what you’re left with is something rather confusing, however.
Did Philip think he’d done something wrong by having the fling with the runner, or not? For example, he said he wouldn’t have been slammed for it quite so much if it were a heterosexual fling.
He said he: “would have received a pat on the back for having an affair with a woman.” This infers that the only thing wrong with it was that it was a same sex fling. So why does he also say: “I will be forever sorry. I screwed up. I made a mistake.”
The answer, I suspect, is that the whole affair was a murky business. There were so many blurred lines around appropriateness, professionalism and honesty.
The only firm conclusion you can draw from the show is that Phillip himself isn’t ENTIRELY sure to what extent He was guilty of wrongdoing.
Amid the confusion, what will the viewing public think? I suspect that this will leave those who disliked Phillip to feel even more suspicious of him.
Those who backed him, will feel reassured too. But those who still aren’t sure what to think will be none-the-wiser – and I’m not sure if that’s what Phillip would have wanted.
Pals of Phil now say he believes Holly and their former boss Martin staged an “organised coup†to get him sacked after the jailing of his paedophile brother Timothy.
Phil now brands Holly as “the witch†who he accused directly of “bringing me downâ€.
He even uses a hatted hag emoji when discussing her with pals if she comes up.
