OHMYGOSSIP — Holly Willoughby has quit ‘This Morning’.
The 42-year-old star has hosted the ITV1 magazine show since 2009 but announced on Tuesday (10.10.23) evening that she will not be back on the sofa again and thanked everyone for their support over the years.
She wrote on Instagram: “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 – who initially hosted alongside Phillip Schofield but following his departure earlier this year has featured alongside the likes of Josie Gibson, Alison Hammond, Dermot O’Leary, and Craig Doyle – continued her statement by thanking the viewers of the show as she recalled a quote from 1990s presenters Richard Madeley and Judy Finnigan.
Most of all, thank you to the wonderful viewers. You’ve been so loyal, so supportive and the very best company every day.
She said: “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 it’s story and I know this story has many chapters left to go. ”
The ‘Dancing on Ice’ presenter is married to producer Dan Baldwin and has Harry, 13, Belle, 11, and eight-year-old Chester with him and concluded her statement by noting that she feels as if she has to step down for the sake of her family.
She added: “Sadly, however, I now feel I have to make this decision for me and my family. I will miss you all so much.”
In the comments section, Holly’s former co-stars rushed to send their support.
Alison wrote: “This is a very sad day ! Love you” whilst Vanessa Feltz said: “We will miss you so very much my darling .”
Holly’s departure comes just days after it was announced she would be taking an “extended break” from the show after a a man appeared in court in Essex over a plot to kidnap and murder her.
Gavin Plumb, from Harlow, Essex, has been charged with soliciting a man named David Nelson to commit murder, and incitement to commit kidnap between October 2nd and 5th.
He is accused of planning to assemble a “kidnap and restraint kit” and inviting the other man to travel to the UK to carry out the alleged offences.
A source told The Mirror: “Holly has been left distraught by the news. This has been an absolutely horrible week for her.
“At the moment she really is getting through things hour by hour. Her absolute priority is her own safety and that of her family – who are supporting her through this incredibly difficult time.
“There has been no discussion about when, or if, she will return to the ‘This Morning’ sofa. No decisions have been made about that. But given the terrifying things she has learned this week, the question of returning to work could not be further from her mind.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Holly Willoughby has quit ‘This Morning’ after 14 years.
The 42-year-old presenter has decided to step away from the ITV daytime show, and has decided to make the “difficult goodbye” for herself and her family, which includes husband Dan Baldwin and their children, 13-year-old son Harry, 11-year-old daughter Belle and eight year old Chester.
Holly has been absent from the programme since last week, when a man was charged with soliciting to commit murder over an alleged plot to kidnap the TV presenter. She did not reference the incident in her social media post confirming her decision to leave ‘This Morning’.
Writing on Instagram, she 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.
“Most of all, thank you to the wonderful viewers. You’ve been so loyal, so supportive and the very best company every day.”
Holly referenced former presenters, husband and wife duo Richard Madeley and Judy Finnigan, who insisted the show belongs to the viewers rather than the stars who inhabit the sofa.
She added: “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.”
It has been a turbulent past few months for Holly and ‘This Morning’ which was engulfed in a scandal when her former co-host Phillip Schofield quit the show after more than 20 years after admitting he lied to bosses about an affair with a younger male colleague.
Following Holly’s statement, ITV’s managing director of media and entertainment Kevin Lygo said: “We are sad that Holly is leaving ‘This Morning’, but respect her decision which we know will have been extremely difficult for her to make.
“Holly is one of the best loved, respected and most accomplished broadcasters in the UK.
“She has been at the heart of ‘This Morning’ for the past 14 years, and she is adored by our viewers.
“Holly has brought her unique brand of warmth, energy, humour and fun to one of the country’s most popular daytime shows, and everyone on the programme will miss her enormously.
“She remains a much loved member of the ITV family and we look forward to continuing to work with her in the future.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Arlene Phillips says the ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ star judges “go on far too long” when they are critiquing the contestants.
The 80-year-old former dancer was a judge on the BBC show between 2004 and 2009 and she’s now weighed in on the current crop of experts on the panel – Shirley Ballas, Anton Du Beke, Motsi Mabuse and Craig Revel Horwood – insisting they spend too long giving their verdicts on the performances.
She told OK! magazine: “The one thing about ‘Strictly’ that I don’t really enjoy any more is the segment with the judges’ comment. I think they go on far too long. I usually just fast-forward those bits.”
However, Arlene is adamant she’s a big fan of newest just Anton, adding: “I do think Anton has made a great addition to the show, he was always made to be a judge. It’s his likeability.”
She also revealed she’s still good friends with Craig and Bruno. She explained: “I still catch up with Craig and Bruno when I can. I’ve known Bruno more than half of my life.
“We met in the late 70s and have been really close friends ever since. And I’d love to see Craig more but he lives quite far away, but we message each other all the time.”
It comes after Arlene admitted she had a strong bond with some of her former co-stars but actually couldn’t “stand” others.
Speaking on ‘BBC Breakfast’, she said: “Yeah, you form a bond with some, you actually can’t stand others but you know that’s life but you do form a bond and obviously I miss being a part of that crazy, crazy life. ”
The former ‘I’m A Celebrity … Get Me Out Of Here!’ contestant made the remark while talking about the show’s “beautiful” tribute to former judge Len Goodman – who died this year aged 78 after being diagnosed with bone cancer.
She said: “Oh my gosh, I thought the tribute was beautiful and I’m also so pleased that on ‘Dancing With The Stars’ in America, they’re going to do a massive tribute to him too. “It was such a loss, and it was so sudden for many of us because only a few people knew, Bruno knew, but few people actually knew. It was a real shock, particularly as Len and I, we were there at the pilot. “We made the pilot and it was wonderfully, brilliantly chaotic, and Len and I spent many hours trying to form what the show would be and we were the bodies that were lucky enough to do that.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Holly Willoughby quit ‘This Morning’ this week after discussing the tough decision with her family over the weekend.
The 42-year-old TV presenter has co-hosted the brunch-time show for 14 years, but she is said to have “personally told” the show’s boss Martin Frizell and ITV Daytime’s managing director Emma Gormley about her decision to leave, in what were “very emotional” conversations.
Holly – who has 13-year-old son Harry, 11-year-old daughter Belle, and eight-year-old Chester with her husband Dan Baldwin – wants to “put her family first”.
The star has been absent from the programme since last week, when a man was charged with soliciting to commit murder over an alleged plot to kidnap the TV presenter.
A source told The Sun newspaper: “There have been a lot of tears over the past few days. Holly spoke with her children and then with her husband Dan and her parents at length.
“She absolutely loves ‘This Morning’ and has devoted herself to the show. But recent events have changed everything and Holly has to put her family first.
“Holly personally told ‘This Morning’ boss Martin Frizell and ITV Daytime’s managing director Emma Gormley. Both conversations were very emotional.
“They obviously wanted her to stay, but said they would completely support her decision.
“ITV have been looking after Holly and have provided a support package to her as well as the offer of counselling if she needs it.”
Holly is said to have been “considering other opportunities” since the summer, following the departure of her former co-host Phillip Schofield, who quit the show after more than 20 years after admitting he lied to bosses about an “unwise but not illegal” affair with a younger male colleague.
The source added: “This was an incredibly hard decision for Holly but, in all honesty, she hasn’t been truly happy at work since the fallout with Phil. Seeing him hung out to dry has been hard and took its toll.
“Fourteen years in any workplace is a long stretch, and she has been considering other opportunities over the summer. The time to leave feels right – albeit under the darkest of circumstances.”
Holly confirmed on Tuesday afternoon (10.10.23) that she had quit ‘This Morning’.
She wrote on Instagram: “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.
“Most of all, thank you to the wonderful viewers. You’ve been so loyal, so supportive and the very best company every day.”
Holly referenced former ‘This Morning’ presenters, husband and wife duo Richard Madeley and Judy Finnigan, who insisted the show belongs to the viewers rather than the presenters on the sofa.
She added: “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.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Richard Madeley has praised Holly Willoughby for doing “a very brave, wise and courageous thing” after she quit ‘This Morning’.
The 67-year-old TV presenter – who co-hosted the brunchtime show with his wife Judy Finnigan for 13 years from 1988 to 2001 – insisted Holly “genuinely puts her family first”, and he thinks she has done “exactly the right thing for her own mental health” by departing the programme after 14 years.
He told ‘Good Morning Britain’: “I think, and Judy agrees with me, we were talking about this when we heard the news yesterday afternoon, that Holly has done a very brave, and wise and courageous thing.
“We know, here in the building, that Holly genuinely puts family first. She puts her family first, and her career second. That really is the order.
“People watching don’t know that. They just see Holly the professional.
“I think given the year that she’s had, all the things she’s had to put up, and then this terrible thing that happened last week, that we can’t talk about because it’s under law … given that she’s done the show for 14 years, which is a year longer than Judy and I did it, I think it’s give her a chance to step back and take stock.
“And she’s put her family first. She’s going to focus on them for a while.
“She’ll come back. Not to ‘This Morning’. But she’ll come back to something else on telly.
“I think she’s done exactly the right thing. For her own mental health, as much as anything else.”
Holly – who has 13-year-old son Harry, 11-year-old daughter Belle, and eight-year-old Chester with her husband Dan Baldwin – has been absent from the programme since last week, when a man was charged with soliciting to commit murder over an alleged plot to kidnap the TV presenter.
Richard has admitted she “would’ve been shaken” by the events.
He said: “It wasn’t just some random threat online.
“There was some substance to it, to the extent that a man is in custody. Clearly, she would’ve been shaken by that.”
Also this year, Holly saw her former ‘This Morning’ co-host Phillip Schofield quit the show after admitting he lied to bosses about an “unwise but not illegal” affair with a younger male colleague.
Holly confirmed she had quit the programme on Tuesday afternoon (10.11.23), and she referenced Richard and Judy in her departure statement.
She wrote on Instagram: “Richard and Judy said ‘we only look after this show, it will always belong to the viewers’.”
On Wednesday (11.10.23), Richard insisted ‘This Morning’ will indeed go on without Holly, because it’s the content and format “that matters”.
Speaking to Susanna Reid and Ed Balls on ‘GMB’, he said: “When we left a lot of people said, ‘That’s the end of ‘This Morning’, because it is Richard and Judy.’
“It was obviously very flattering, but we knew it wasn’t true. Because the show isn’t about the faces, the presenters, it’s about the format.
“Obviously the presenters have to know what they’re doing, but it’s the content and format that matters.
“It will carry on.”
Susanna concluded the interview by wishing Holly luck.
She said: “We send her all our very best. We really do. Good luck, Holly. Whatever you do, massive success. And lots of love to your family, too.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Lorraine Kelly has admitted it is “a shame” Holly Willoughby has quit ‘This Morning’.
The 63-year-old TV presenter says it must have been a “terribly difficult decision” for Holly to announce her departure from the programme after 14 years, but Lorraine is looking forward to seeing what the ‘Dancing on Ice’ presenter does next.
Speaking on her ‘Lorraine’ show, she said: “‘Dancing On Ice’ is coming in the new year and there will be loads of other projects, of course there will.
“It just is a shame. It’s just a shame and obviously, Holly, we wish you all the very best for you and your family.
“I know this must have been a terribly difficult decision because she loves the show.”
Holly – who has 13-year-old son Harry, 11-year-old daughter Belle, and eight-year-old Chester with her husband Dan Baldwin – has been absent from ‘This Morning’ since last week, when a man was charged with soliciting to commit murder over an alleged plot to kidnap the TV presenter.
Lorraine also appeared on the show as a guest last week, and she admitted it felt as though things were “getting back to normal” on the programme.
She added: “Helen [Addis] and I were on the show last week, I think it was last Tuesday… and it was lovely. Holly was so relaxed and so happy. Her and Josie obviously got on like a house on fire.
“The whole place just felt as if things are getting back to normal, do you know what I mean? And then, out of the blue, this happens.
“This horrible, awful thing that she is having to deal with. Horrific. Terrible.”
Holly’s departure comes after her former ‘This Morning’ co-host Phillip Schofield quit the show this year after admitting he lied to bosses about an “unwise but not illegal” affair with a younger male colleague.

OHMYGOSSIP — ‘Coronation Street’ legend Barbara Knox doesn’t want to retire after turning 90.
The actress brings to life one of the ITV1 soap’s longest-running characters, Rita Sullivan – whose first appearance in the show was in 1964 before she became a regular fixture in Weatherfield in 1972 – and just because Barbara entered her 10th decade of life in September, she will not be saying goodbye to everyone on the cobbles anytime soon.
Speaking to Bradley Walsh, 63, in the ITV1 and ITVX special ‘Barbara Knox At 90’ – which airs on Friday (13.10.23) and was created to celebrate her milestone birthday – she says: “Unbelievable really isn’t it? How the years have gone. And what we’ve crammed into the years and how fortunate I have been, in being in the Street for about 50 or 60 of them. I’ve lost track.
“So wonderful, really I’ve been very fortunate. I can’t believe all these years have gone by and I’m looking at 90. I can’t believe that. And if they’re listening. I don’t want to retire.”
Barbara – who has three grown-up children, Maxine, John and Amanda, with her first husband Dennis Mullaney – revealed she got her first taste of “showbiz” when her parents took her on holiday to the northern seaside town of Blackpool during her younger years.
She says: “Back in the day, Blackpool was the place to go. My parents used to bring me every year from seven to about 10. Because during the war there was restrictions on how far you could travel.
“There was something for everybody. Being a little girl, I went to the tower to the children’s concert.
“It was in the afternoon and it was very famous. We went and we sat cross legged. And then the little kids come on singing for about half an hour. That was my entertainment in the afternoon. I liked that very much. Maybe that was the next nudge towards showbiz.”
‘Barbara Knox at 90’ airs Friday at 9pm on ITV1 and ITVX.

OHMYGOSSIP — Holly Willoughby’s former colleagues Rochelle Humes and Craig Doyle paid tribute to her time on ‘This Morning’ today (11.10.23) after she quit the show.
The pair, who hosted Wednesday’s episode, sent their “love, best wishes, and respect” to the 42-year-old TV presenter, who confirmed on Tuesday (10.10.23) that she had departed the programme after 14 years.
Opening the show, Rochelle said: “Of course, we want to start by sending our love, best wishes, and respect to our Holly.”
Craig added: “Last night, Holly made what we know would’ve been a heartbreaking decision to leave ‘This Morning’ after 14 years.”
The pair admitted Holly had found it hard to deal with “recent events”.
Holly – who has 13-year-old son Harry, 11-year-old daughter Belle, and eight-year-old Chester with her husband Dan Baldwin – has been absent from ‘This Morning’ since last week, when a man was charged with soliciting to commit murder over an alleged plot to kidnap the TV presenter.
Rochelle added: “Holly loved her job here and was really looking forward to the future of the show, but recent events, especially in the past week, have been hard to deal with.
“And she is quite rightly putting her family first.”
Craig said: “On behalf of everyone here in front and behind the camera, we just loved working with Holly.
“She made coming to work so much fun.
“We’re all really, really sad and are going to miss her.”
Rochelle insisted Holly would “forever be one of us” following her departure.
She explained: “Holly said she is incredibly proud of what she has achieved on this show, and so are we.
“She will forever be one of us.”
Craig added: “But, as Holly Willoughby knows only too well … the show must go on.”
The pair then continued with the show.
It comes after Holly released a statement on Tuesday afternoon confirming she had left ‘This Morning’.
She wrote on Instagram: “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.

OHMYGOSSIP — Kelvin Fletcher says being in ‘Emmerdale’ didn’t prepare him for the realities of farming.
The ex ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ star opted to forgo playing farmer Andy Sugden in the ITV1 soap after two decades and went on to pursue an agricultural life on his 120-acre farm in the Peak District, on which he has an array of animals, such as sheep, pigs, goats and alpacas with his wife Liz Marsland, 32, and their four kids Marnie, six, Milo, four, and 17-month-old twins Mateusz and Maximus.
But he claims life in the show’s Yorkshire Dales did not provide him a transferable “skill set”.
The 39-year-old actor told OK! magazine: “I wish it did. I once said that what I know about farming you could write on the back of a stamp. I used to love filming those scenes but very rarely were the scenes about farming.
“The irony is that I played a farmer for 20 years and pretended to be one, and now I’m doing that. It’s just a bit bizarre isn’t it? But there’s no skill set I can transfer.”
Kelvin admitted he and Liz have been on a “journey” learning about farming, but it wasn’t a career they had planned for themselves.
He said: “We’ve really been on a journey. We’re not experts by any stretch, but we’re really taking this seriously and we’re enjoying it.
“We’ve got four children, 150 sheep, five goats, 36 pigs, three alpacas with three more coming next week – and a dog and a cat. We didn’t really plan to farm. We found ourselves with a few sheep and then it snowballed from there. Everyone always used to tell us, ‘Farming is just a way of life’ and that’s truly the only way to describe it.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Sue Nicholls feared she would be killed off on ‘Coronation Street’ once her on-screen son Stephen Reid became a villain.
The 79-year-old actress knows there is always a “risk” that her character Audrey Roberts could meet her maker and that increased when Todd Boyce’s character went down a dark path, but her concerns haven’t completely disappeared.
When asked if she thought it might be the end of Audrey once Stephen became a villain, Sue – who has been involved in the soap since 1972 – said: “Yes I did. I think we all thought that we could be at risk.
“Actually, I still think that what has happened with Stephen could see Audrey off, we are all only on one-year contracts so you never know.
“The aftermath of what happens this week and the confrontation with Stephen does have a profound effect on Audrey, she is a victim in many respects and how will she cope with that.”
Sue is enjoying how the storyline is giving her the chance to work with more stars of the ITV1 soap, like Chris Gascoyne, 55, who plays Peter Barlow, who she has “loved” doing scenes with.
She said: “I do love that feeling of everyone being involved. The cast is very big these days, so I don’t often get to work with a lot of them, and particularly in the past few years we have all been very much with our immediate group of characters.
“I have never had scenes with Chris Gascoyne before, ever. I loved working with him on this storyline. It is interesting to work with someone new, you get a different energy from the scene.”
The ex ‘Crossroads’ star confessed she will “miss” Todd – who first came to Weatherfield in 1996 and has done three stints on the show in the last 27 years – because he is a “joy”.
Sue said: “Oh of course I am going to miss him, we miss having him around already.
“I absolutely loved working with him. I love Todd and I have to say I have a lot of love for Stephen. I’ve got to say I can’t not love Stephen.
“Todd’s a joy, he’s delightful. He has worked so hard and he has had so many days full of long scenes and he has put his all into creating this character, I think it’s been wonderful.
“I’ve been lucky, because I’ve had a very, very good story, beautifully written. I know I’ll miss him and I’m going to have to stay in touch with him because I have known him for such a very long time.”
