Holly Willoughby is reportedly considering a surprising new career change after her shock exit from This Morning earlier this month.
The TV star, 42, confirmed that she will not be returning to the famous blue sofa in an emotional message to fans this month. She decided to leave her job after 14 years “for me and my family.”
The ITV show now looks completely different from how it did at the start of 2023. This year has also seen This Morning’s other star presenter, Phillip Schofield, step away.

The insider claimed that although she “adores presenting,” her “favourite” part of This Morning were the phone-ins as she loves “giving advice.” So much so, that she is said to be thinking of “life coaching” or “training as a therapist.”
They source added: “With everything she’s been through, Holly’s really felt the benefits of mindfulness and talking to others about how she’s feeling. It’s also made her question her life in the spotlight and she’d maybe like to live a bit more low-key, with a primary focus on helping others.”
Back at the start of October, Holly announced her exit from This Morning. Her statement read: “I have let ITV know today that after 14 years, I will not be returning to This Morning.
