A TV insider told The Sun: "ITV chiefs are attempting to future-proof their relationship with Holly, who they very much see as having launched and nurtured her career on the network.

"But they also understand she has earned her place as one of Britain's biggest TV stars, and inevitably rivals will make her offers – so they feel they have to tempt her to stay. Of course, it's entirely up to Holly if she takes up ITV's deal or starts to consider her options elsewhere."

Holly has also been recruited by Netflix to front the reality series 'Celebrity Bear Hunt', in which adventurer Bear Grylls will chase a line-up of famous faces through the Costa Rican jungle. The new show will begin streaming next month
