Interesting Facts About Holly Willoughby
Willoughby’s journey into the limelight began at the age of 14 when talent scouts discovered her during a school trip at ‘The Clothes Show’ Live exhibition in 1995. This led to her signing with Storm Model Management as a teen model.
Her early modeling career saw her featured in magazines like ‘Mizz,’ ‘Just Seventeen,’ ‘Shout,’ and ‘More!’ At 17, she modeled for renowned brands such as Rimmel (cosmetics) and Pretty Polly (innerwear) in 1998.
A transition from modeling to television ensued as Willoughby’s comfort in front of the camera prompted her to audition for the CITV show ‘S Club TV’ after several TV commercial appearances.
Willoughby’s ascent continued with her co-presentation of CITV’s children’s game show ‘Ministry of Mayhem’ in 2004, alongside Stephen Mulhern. Their popularity led to the show’s renaming to ‘Holly & Stephen’s Saturday Showdown’ in 2006.
She played pivotal roles in other children’s shows, including hosting the final of the children’s version of ‘Stars in Their Eyes’ (2004) and the children’s entertainment program ‘Feel the Fear’ (2005).

A versatile presenter, she contributed to various ITV shows like ‘Celebrity Wrestling: Bring It On’ (2005), ‘Greased Lightnin” (2007), and ‘The Xtra Factor’ (2008-2009).
Joining ‘Celebrity Juice’ as a regular team captain alongside Fearne Cotton in 2008 marked another highlight in Willoughby’s career, a role she has maintained since, except for a maternity leave in late 2014.
Her foray into the realm of talent shows included presenting the first two seasons of ‘The Voice UK’ in 2012 and 2013.
Alongside her husband, TV producer Dan Baldwin, Willoughby founded the television program production company Roxy Media in December 2014. She expanded her ventures by launching the Interior Design company Truly Group LTD in 2016.
Willoughby diversified her hosting portfolio with shows like ‘Play to the Whistle’ (2015-2016) and ‘Meet the Parents’ (2016).
Notably, she has co-authored a series of children’s books, including ‘L ‘Etoile, School for Stars: First Term’ (2013) with her sister Kelly, and penned self-help books like ‘Truly Happy Baby’ (2016) and ‘Truly Scrumptious Baby’ (2017) for new mothers.
Recognizing her contributions, Willoughby received a ‘BAFTA’ nomination in 2006 and won the ‘Glamour Award for Presenter’ in 2012 and the ‘Glamour Award for TV Personality’ in 2016.
