Judy Finnigan has taken a swipe at This Morning host Holly Willoughby’s lifestyle brand.
The 75-year-old star presented the ITV daytime show alongside husband Richard Madeley from 1998 until 2001.
Away from her role on This Morning, mother of three Holly owns wellness business named Wylde Moon.

Judy has branded sites like Holly’s Wylde Moon and others as “dangerous” and ridiculous”.
Speaking to Women’s Own magazine, she said: “”Rosamund Pike is scathing about Gwyneth Paltrow’s Goop website and claims the whole wellness industry is a con.

“Hurrah! I’ve been waiting for someone to have a go, not just at Goop but at other ‘wellness’ websites such as Holly Willoughby’s Wylde Moon (not the ridiculous woo-woo spelling, meant to sound elementally female.)”
Judy implied that people are being “conned” out of their hard-earned cash by some wellness sites.
“I think we’re all being conned by the wellness industry. The idea that it’s no longer enough to be healthy and we have to be ‘well’… I think it’s really dangerous.,” Judy continued.

Daily Star has reached out to Holly’s representatives for a comment.
Last year, Holly was faced with criticism, with some branding her business “wacky”.
She told Grazia at the time: “I think that people struggle with some of the ideas. The moment that I launched Wylde Moon, the word ‘wacky’ got used a lot.
“I expected that. And that’s fine. I can’t change that. I’m not here to force any of this on anybody. It’s not ‘come and meditate with me’ or ‘look at the moon and play a sound-bowl’.

“It’s please go and do that thing that makes your heart sing. Go and do you.”
She added: “I’m not afraid of the reaction to it any more. If it doesn’t fit with what your thoughts and expectations of me are, well then there’s nothing I can do about it.
“I can’t change that. I don’t want to change that. And I’m not going to change that. This is me.”
