Sorry behind catwalk but has anyone seen Molly's new show on you tibe?.It really is quite sure and has all the makings of a career in freefall (she even had to get her husband to produce it). Was it always going to be this way after the Schofiled scandal or is she like Tess Daly simply not to enter enough to make a career on her own?

JAN MOIR: Holly's new show is so banal it makes Meghan's look good

Caring, sharing Holly Willoughby blessed us with a return to the broadcast world this week, floating back down the airwaves like a blonde cherub on a candy-floss cloud of crud.

The Queen saga was bad enough ,but not standing by Phil Schofield made her look like a bad friend & disloyal.

I don’t think it was the runner romance that did for the Schofield/Willoughby friendship. It was the fallout from his brother - PS knew his brother had been inappropriate with a boy (can’t remember details but may have been a relative) because it came out after he was convicted. PS knew about this previously but still allowed his brother to go on holiday where they all had access to HW’s kids etc. HW had no idea that PS had known about his brother. I can’t remember all the details.

Wasn’t it his son? Something really horrific for the poor boy 😔 strange family it would seem
Where is PS these days, wonder what he does

EvangelicalAboutButteredToast · 29/07/2026 15:41

I think people want authenticity now and the Phillip Schofield drama and the sycophancy surrounding it was the death null.

MsLllama · 29/07/2026 16:24

@WiltonGal oh yes i forgot about the brother thing

Once saw her and Ferne Cotton in some weird filming at a hotel we were staying at. My daughters ‘met them’ in the ladies and said both were stuck up - they had smiled at them and said hello but both Holly and Ferne looked at them as if they’d trod in something nasty.
And I wonder what happened to that ‘great friendship’?! Holly and Ferne were supposedly best mates.

I’ve wondered before what happened to the holly and ferne friendship. It seemed to disappear and then holly was always out with one of the Appleton sisters, Emma bunton and a few others in a friendship group

hotmumshit · 29/07/2026 18:19

Hrtft

I like Holly - haven't watched the show but will give it a go

Her audience isnt on YouTube though 😬

Lorraine threatened to do the same and then didnt - it wouldnt have worked!

TV is weird now anyway - not sure what else she could really do, but a Netflix/channel 4 deal wouldve been the way forward, not YouTube

hotmumshit · 29/07/2026 18:22

Tbh , and controversial

I dont hate Philip schofield. His relationship is ick inducing but not illegal - and straight men in the media have done far worse with vulnerable girls and gotten away with it. How many of them are married to girls they met as teens 🤢

I think people just dont like them 🤷‍♀️. I reckon Phil had no friends in the industry left, hence his career ending. Even his boss said he's had enough of having his back or something.

I preferred Holly and Phil to ben and cat tbh, the pair of dullards

purpleme12 · 29/07/2026 18:27

Yes just a bit dull with Cat and Ben

Triskellion75 · 29/07/2026 18:29

I don't see her being keen to take a 'normal' job after the whole kidnap/murder plot.

I quite like Holly. Gorgeous looking lassie and her and Phil worked well as a pair.

Disappointed Fearne not nice also 😔 I’d read she was moody, but comes across well on Instagram, but so did Holly on This Morning! Never been so shocked at meeting her as was the literal opposite of the way she portrays herself
Davina Mccall on the other hand was a lovely lovely, genuine lady

I quite like them, they don't do stupid "in jokes" like P&H used to.do.

P & H acted like they were the school bullies…and that was on screen, imagine off screen, the poor staff that had to put up with them

How did she behave?

Like a mean girl

burninguphere · 29/07/2026 19:16

Holly messed up big time with the scofield debacle. She was also very toxic in the breakfast TV workplace and so has been dispensed with. She also came across as bland and vacuous.

If she'd been scandal free and nicer and more intelligent and interesting she'd probably still have a career.

Taaraa love ..... Next!

Funkydo · 29/07/2026 10:47

I don’t think she has discussed the situations that have gone on, maybe she isn’t allowed. Schofield and the separate kidnap situation. Holly comes across squeaky clean but I think more relatability and honesty may help. However many tv stars reach middle age and disappear Fern Britton for instance. It may be time to walk away from tv and turn her hand to other aspects.

Holly is no longer squeaky clean. She's a mean girl

TiredLittlePup · 29/07/2026 08:00

I can’t stand her. She is another one who enjoys and benefits from being one of ITVs protected people along with the likes of Ant and Dec. All not living the lives they like to project to the world but all covered up for. ITVs inner circle. 🤮

whats Ant & Dec supposed to have done?
Also Holly hasn’t done anything wrong either.
As for other pps whinging about her swearing & sexual innuendos on her show saying they’re forced have obviously forgotten that Holly was an original team captain on celebrity juice.

Well aren't you all delightful. 🙄 You'd think she peed on your cornflakes every morning.

Hi Holly/ Molly

What a spiteful thread to start. You sound gleeful, Op. If you don’t like her then don’t watch but she’s had a very successful career so far with millions in the bank and good network of industry friends so I’m sure she’ll be just fine.

Stop being spiteful.

I'm very gleeful watching her downfall 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Good riddance to bad rubbish.
I hope she'll think twice about looking down her nose at people and treating others like shit.
Who does she think she is?
She's an brainless bimbo TV presenter....not a brain surgeon FFS. Stupid cow

Yeah i don't think.PS especially was a pleasant person to work with.

mids2019 · 30/07/2026 06:26

Molly's you tube viewings were around 30,000 (and that's before the horrendous reviews). If that's not a sunken career I don't know what is. There is a probably some gardening Holly can catch up on now.........
