Holly Willoughby left This Morning after 14 years at the helm of the ITV daytime show, telling fans she’d made the ‘difficult’ decision for herself and her family
Holly Willoughby and her husband, Dan Baldwin, are reportedly facing their “toughest test yet as a couple” after the presenter quit This Morning.
The mum-of-three, 42, left the ITV daytime show last week after 14 weeks at the helm, telling fans she’d made the ‘difficult’ decision for herself and her family.
TV producer Dan, who married Holly in 2007, is said to have been the Wylde Moon guru’s “saviour” as she deals with a difficult year following her former friend Phillip Schofield’s shock resignation from the ‘show he loved’.
Now a source close to the Willoughby family claims Holly is looking at her exit from This Morning as an opportunity to strengthen her marriage with Dan, despite this being the “toughest test” the couple have ever faced.

They have been married for 16 years
Speaking to OK! magazine, they said: “Holly has been to hell and back over the last 12 months, and she has come extremely close to breaking point in recent weeks. But Dan has been her saviour throughout all the emotional turmoil and the Phillip Schofield backlash she’s faced this year.”
They added: “Neither of them could have predicted the events of the last few months. Phillip’s scandal and Holly’s subsequent decline in popularity shook them both as individuals. Holly’s confidence was knocked and Dan struggled to see her feeling down. Now that Holly has stepped back from a career she adores, they’ll face their toughest test yet as a couple.”
Despite the drama, in which Holly was also caught up in Queuegate in which she and Phil were accused of jumping the line to see the late Queen lying in state, the source insists the pair are bound to bounce back stronger than ever having been through so much together.
They said: “Dan has lifted her up when she’s felt her lowest, and he’s been a shoulder to cry on during the most difficult days. They’ve come back fighting every time obstacles have been thrown their way. I have no doubt they’ll do it again.”
Holly shocked This Morning viewers on October 10, when she announced she was quitting the award-winning show following a tough time. As well as dealing with the fallout from Queuegate, the host was left reeling after finding out Phil had lied to her about his affair while working on the show.
Taking to Instagram, she said: “I’ve let ITV know today that after 14 years, I will not be returning to This Morning. To everyone who has ever worked on the show over the years, thank you so so much. This is such a difficult goodbye, you are incredible and I forever will be proud of what we’ve done together.
