Holly Willoughby has had a traumatic year by anyone’s standards – from the Phillip Schofield scandal, which saw her former co-host step down from the flagship morning show, to her terrifying kidnap ordeal. But now things are taking a positive turn for the presenter. Holly, who is married to Dan Baldwin and is mum to Harry, 15, Belle, 13, and Chester, 10, is set to host a number of primetime shows, which will see her back in the spotlight.

“Holly can’t wait for 2025 and to finally put everything behind her,” a source said. “It’s been quite a hellish year, what with the Gavin Plumb trial and the ongoing fallout with Phil, but she is starting to feel like herself again. That’s mainly down to her friends and family – they’ve all been so supportive and have helped her through some dark times.”
