Is Holly Willoughby leaving This Morning? Her future on the ITV show confirmed after months of doubt

Holly Willoughby’s ITV future has been confirmed after months of doubt over her future with the broadcaster. People believed her long tenure on This Morning was over after she left for her annual leave without saying goodbye.

But, the Daily Mail is reporting that Holly is staying with ITV, and is set to sign a lucrative new contract which will ‘save’ the show. The source also confirmed that she will be returning in September to the show, which she has fronted for 14 years.

It’s reported that even staff at This Morning thought the 42-year-old was quietly quitting’ following Schofield’s resignation two months ago, but it’s now believed she is sticking with the show after returning from her holidays.

A source said: “Holly is going back. People have been saying she won’t for some time now but she is. ITV want her back, and they are delighted she has agreed. It will be made official shortly but it will save This Morning, it will ease a huge crisis that they are in. It most probably would have been game over for them if Holly had left.”

During her absence and the turmoil the show has endured in recent months, fan favourites including Alison Hammond and Dermot O’Leary have stepped in, but it is unclear who Holly will regularly present with.

Since her long-time friend and co-host Phillip Schofield resigned earlier this year, she has presented with Dermot, as well as Josie Gibson and Craig Doyle.
