Is Holly About To Quit?

After her extended break from This Morning, it seems Holly Willoughby may be ready to move on

Holly Willoughby has been part of the This Morning furniture alongside Phillip Schofield for 12 years now, but is that all about to change?

The duo always have the school holidays off, but Holly surprised viewers when she announced that she was having an extra week away from the show after the Easter break.

‘Working on something else next week which I can’t wait to share with you all,’ she candidly wrote on Instagram.

Holly’s followers quickly guessed that she could be working on Midsomer Murders, after cast members Neil Dudgeon and Nick Hendrix said they would like her to appear in an episode during an interview on This Morning. And one fan questioned whether she was leaving the daytime show for good to ‘explore other options’.

It perhaps isn’t too far from Holly’s thoughts, with her hinting that she’d like to spend more time with her family. She’s admitted, ‘It’s not just about me having my dream and everyone fitting round it, it’s about putting family first and making that choice.’

And with popular presenter Cat Deeley becoming a hit with viewers while standing in for Lorraine, could she be Holly’s successor?
