Holly Willoughby spotted for first time since Schofield comeback as she relaxes on family holiday

Holly Willoughby and her family jetted off for some October sun as they enjoyed a getaway in Portugal during the Autumn school half term holidays

Former This Morning presenter Holly Willoughby was spotted lapping up the Portuguese sunshine on family holiday.

The 43-year-old TV presenter took a step back from her duties in recent months and was seen enjoying the family break during the school half-term holidays. She was joined by husband Dan Baldwin and their three kids, Harry, 14, Belle, 12, and Chester, eight.

The blonde star was seen relaxing in a denim pair of hot pants and a loose fitting black sweater. She topped up the look with a chic beige sun hat and chunky black sunglasses, while opting for comfortable tanned sandals. She accessorised with a large hand bag as she strolled with a smile and a phone in her hand.

The group were seen browsing a local shopping plaza after dining.

The trip away comes after her former This Morning co-host returned to screens with his Channel 5 series, Cast Away. In it, he seemed to subtly hint on his feud with one-time best pal, Holly. The pair fell out after news broke of Phil's affair with a younger colleague. He had previously denied the connection to Holly. On Cast Away, Phil admitted his actions were "unwise but not illegal".

Holly had previously told This Morning fans how she had felt "shaken, troubled, let down," and "worried" for the wellbeing of both Phillip and the younger male. She added that her former friend hadn't been telling the truth to his friends, colleagues and fans.

She quit the show in October 2023 after 14 years. Earlier this month, Phillip's recent nickname for Holly has now emerged. According to Phillip's friends, he believes that Holly directly brought him down. Speaking to The Sun, a source said she is known as "the witch" amongst his inner circle. They also said he uses the hatted hag emoji to discuss Holly if her name ever crops up.

They source said: "He dislikes Holly so much now he calls her 'the witch' when talking about her and sends the emoji to his mates if she comes up. He messaged Holly and told her, 'You brought me down.' He was furious and still is."

Despite the ongoing feud and Phil's TV drama and comments, Holly, she showed she was unfazed by his appearance. She shared snaps on her Instagram Story as she cheered on Nicole’s son Gene Gallagher as he performed with his band Villanelle. The former All Saints singer shares the 23-year-old with Oasis icon Liam Gallagher, and Gene was performing ahead of the band’s debut tour.
