Holly Willoughby, 45, has made a startling admission during the premiere of her new YouTube channel, Holly Willoughby Together, stating she would have sex with comedian Romesh Ranganathan. The comment came during a game of 'S**g, Marry, Avoid' with guest Katherine Ryan, as reported by the Daily Mail.
Cheeky Game on New Show
In the episode airing July 28, Katherine Ryan, a Canadian comic known for her provocative humor, encourages Holly to choose between Rob Beckett, Josh Widdicombe, and Romesh Ranganathan. After Holly makes her selection, Katherine teases, 'I'm just sending Romesh the video of you saying you want to s**g him!' The remark contrasts sharply with the wholesome, lifestyle-focused branding of the show, which covers health, beauty, fashion, and wellness.
Holly's Return to Screens
The former This Morning presenter, who left daytime TV in 2023 after 14 years, is launching the YouTube channel as her first major project since her departure. Dancing On Ice, which she co-hosted, was also axed shortly after. Holly described the shift as 'all new territory' but expressed excitement, telling the Press Association: 'It's just a shift. It's been 14 years – you get so used to how things work.' She added that TV and YouTube are not too different, noting that her team blended digital and traditional entertainment approaches.
Inspiration and Future Plans
Holly, a mother of three with husband Dan Baldwin, said her children inspired the move to YouTube. She hasn't ruled out a return to television, stating: 'I love telly. Telly is in my blood. I love it, and hopefully I'll go back and do other TV shows when the time feels right.' She likened her return to 'stepping into an old pair of slippers' and emphasized her openness to feedback, saying: 'If people don't like anything, we can change it.'
Content and Personal Challenges
The show will feature two episodes per week, including in-depth conversations with guests such as a grieving mother, a tech safety campaigner, chefs, a florist, and a makeup artist. This marks a new era for Holly, who has focused on her company Wylde Moon since stepping back from the limelight after a security guard's plot to kidnap, rape, and murder her came to light; Gavin Plumb was sentenced to life imprisonment with a minimum term of 16 years. Holly is now flying solo after years of co-hosting with Phillip Schofield, who left This Morning in 2023 following an affair scandal. Holly Willoughby Together premieres July 28.
