Holly Willoughby is set to make a grand return to the television screen next month with her show, This Morning. The Wylde Moon founder, 42, is reportedly being rewarded with a hefty salary boost as she prepares to step back in front of the camera. According to the reports, her salary will be increased from £700,000 a year to up to £1million a year.
A source divulged, “Holly’s pay deal is up for negotiation in a few months so they are putting together a lucrative package that will reflect her added responsibility without Phil, and they are prepared to go up to £1million a year.” The source further added that the show will be glitzier than ever with showbiz guests and exclusive human interest stories. Holly has been presenting alongside different co-hosts, including Josie Gibson and Dermot O’Leary, since Phillip Schofield, 61, resigned from ITV after admitting to lying about an affair with a runner.
It has been reported that Holly will continue on the show on a permanent basis, joined by rotating co-presenters from the This Morning stable along with Steve Jones. However, a source has revealed that Holly wants Alison Hammond to replace Phillip and become her permanent co-presenter. And indeed, ITV has confirmed that the Great British Bake Off presenter will be co-hosting with Holly when she returns in three weeks.
The two are good friends off-camera and have often shared pictures of themselves hanging together on Instagram. Once again, Holly Willoughby is set to take the TV screens by storm with her return and her million-dollar salary. This Morning airs weekdays at 10am on ITV.
