• Holly has recently been left without a hosting role for the first time in over 20 years after Dancing On Ice was scrapped. She was also part of the Celebrity Bear Hunt team – with streamer Netflix axing the show after just one series
• A PR expert recently warned Strictly bosses off making Holly the new face of the dance show. PR-to-the-Stars Mayah Riaz said the appointment is about far more than just selecting a household name. ” “Holly Willoughby would be a fascinating choice, but it would need careful reputation management. The public has a short memory for scandal but a long one for perceived insincerity, and Holly’s exit from ITV left mixed feelings.”
