Overview

• Willoughby has been sharing sun-drenched Instagram updates from her Portuguese holiday home, featuring vintage-inspired swimwear snaps and family selfies with sister Kelly.
• She is confirmed to appear later this year as a celebrity panellist on Stephen Mulhern’s You Bet! On Tour, marking her first screen role since departing the original You Bet!.
• Industry insiders say she has been linked to early-stage talks to host revivals of classic formats Record Breakers and Cilla Black’s Blind Date, though neither project has been officially announced.
• Last spring’s axings of Dancing on Ice and Netflix’s Celebrity Bear Hunt, combined with her 2023 exit from This Morning, left Willoughby without a regular ITV show for the first time in years.
• Her selective return to television reflects broader budget cuts and format shifts across UK daytime programming and a strategic pivot by her production company, Roxy Media.
