Holly Willoughby confirms major move following This Morning departure

Holly Willoughby’s first major move since leaving This Morning has been confirmed because the presenter will crew up with Bear Grylls for a brand new Netflix present.

Set to air in 2025, Holly will current Bear Hunt (working title), a gameshow the place celebrities shall be entered right into a Central African rainforest. The celebrities should survive out within the wilderness and for many who fail to impress, they are going to be put right into a ‘Bear Hunt’, a cat-and-mouse sport the place they’ll attempt to keep away from Bear Grylls as he “hunts” them down.

Holly shared the information on her Instagram account alongside a headshot of herself and Bear with a caption studying: “Introducing Bear Hunt – this new action-packed competition show sees a group of unlikely British celebrities dropped into the Central American jungle as prey for one of the world’s most fearsome predators… @beargrylls! Hosted by @hollywilloughby – coming to Netflix in 2025.”

Last October, Holly confirmed that she was leaving This Morning after 14 years. Her last months on the present had been marked with the controversial departure of her co-star Phillip Schofield, owing to his relationship with a junior member of employees, and the uncovering of a kidnap plot towards her.

In a press release, the mum-of-three stated: “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.”

She continued: “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.

“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. Holly.”
