Overview

• The Sun and the Mirror report that Willoughby and producer Dan Baldwin are quietly sounding out TV, film and music contacts for a potential evening show.
• Sources say the target is a solo chat or entertainment slot positioned to compete with established hosts like Graham Norton and Jonathan Ross.
• Private approaches have reportedly included Emma Bunton, Christine Lampard and Fearne Cotton for advice and possible involvement.
• No broadcaster has commissioned a series and there is no on-the-record confirmation, with the Mirror noting it has sought comment from her representatives.
• The planning follows a hiatus and recent setbacks, including Netflix’s Celebrity Bear Hunt being cancelled and Dancing on Ice ending after her 2023 departure from This Morning following threats from Gavin Plumb, who was later jailed.
