Holly Willoughby has wowed her followers with a daring new style, and they are absolutely loving it. The ex-This Morning presenter, aged 44, took to Instagram this Thursday to show off her chic transformation, featuring tousled waves and some strikingly bold spectacles.
The mother of three shared a selfie from the car, making light of her new role as 'personal party driver' for her kids. Holly's caption read: "Any other mums/dads of 16 year old, post GCSE children suddenly find themselves with a new role of personal party driver? Mums 'Mini' Cabs ... and yes... I'm now a Glasses wearer... game changer."
Holly, alongside her husband Dan Baldwin, is a doting parent to their three children: 16 year old Harry, Belle who is 12, and Chester, aged nine. With Harry having just finished his GCSEs, it appears Holly has been drafted into driving duties for his post-exam celebrations.
Following the reveal of her updated image, Holly's fans swarmed the comments section to praise her natural wavy locks, with one fan writing: "Gorgeous. You look so pretty and the glasses really suit you."
Another fan added their voice, saying: "Wow! ! ! Holly you have never looked better," reports the Mirror.
This flurry of admiration comes amidst reports that Holly's future career moves are uncertain, as she currently doesn't have any new television projects lined up. Despite being a familiar face on our screens for many years, fans may have to wait a while before seeing what's next for the star.
The television favourite finds herself at a crossroads, facing the first time in 21 years without a programme in the pipeline. This follows the cancellation of her regular presenting role on Dancing On Ice, bringing the show to an end.
Holly's other venture, Bear Hunt with Bear Grylls, has also been dropped from the schedule. Additionally, she has decided to step away from You Bet! leaving Stephen Mulhern to present solo.
However, there's potential on the horizon as Holly's husband Dan Baldwin is reportedly developing a revival of Record Breakers, which could see Holly back in the presenting spotlight. The Sun cites an insider claiming it would be "perfect sense" for Holly to helm the show.
The source commented: "Record Breakers is likely to be a prime time hit and it would make perfect sense for Holly to take the reins. She has worked alongside Dan before and the pair know what it takes to make great telly."
Holly's name is also among those being considered for hosting duties on a reboot of Cilla Black's Blind Date, with Claudia Winkleman and Davina McCall also in the running. Another potential project for Holly is a new Channel 4 show aimed at discovering fresh singing talent. Holly made her TV comeback last year after an 18-month hiatus.

Reports also suggest that ITV is eager to retain Holly's talents, following recent discussions with Katie Rawcliffe, director of entertainment and daytime, regarding future projects.
An insider has disclosed: "Holly always intended to lock in new presenting roles for ITV, which has been her home for so long. She didn't have anything confirmed earlier this year just due to the way the cards had fallen, but there are a string of exciting projects on the table and 2025 is looking good for Holly."
They continued, highlighting her career ambitions: "Holly is looking to the future and this week's meeting was a big part of that. It won't be a return to daytime programming but new entertainment formats."
The strategic meeting happened alongside the broadcast of a documentary that delves into a harrowing episode from her past.
The documentary in question, Channel 5's The Plot To Kill Holly Willoughby, showcased the chilling plans of an obsessed security guard named Gavin Plumb who intended to kidnap, assault, and kill Holly. Deciding not to be involved in the documentary, Holly made the choice subsequent to her traumatic ordeal to step back from her role on ITV1's This Morning and momentarily retire from her television commitments.

Meghan launches new jams and £20 orange blossom honey in website restock
Meghan had promised some 'delicious surprises' as she teased, earlier this week, that she would be offering some new products on her As Ever site. Also available are an apricot spread in 'keepsake packaging' and a crepe mix, both £10 each, flower sprinkles for £11 and a range of herbal teas at £9 each. In an Instagram post at the same time as the new products went live, the California-based duchess wrote: 'Yummies, and honeys, and fruit spreads, oh my!' Meghan previously said the April launch of her As Ever products, including jam and herbal tea, had been 'absolutely extraordinary'. But she also spoke of her fear that she annoyed customers when the first batch of her jam and herbal teas sold out in less than an hour. She said wanted to wait until it is 'completely stable and we have everything we need'. In the run-up to her re-stock, Meghan shared a photo of jam-making preparations including bowls of strawberries, raspberries and blueberries, and freshly squeezed lemons, on her Instagram stories, writing: ''June gloom?' Not over here! Because this month your favourite products are back.' Her official As Ever account also posted: 'To all who've been wondering and waiting, thank you! 'Your favourites are returning, plus a few NEW things we can't wait to show you. Coming this month … get excited!'

Andy Carroll's ex Billi Mucklow takes savage swipe at star with sizzling bikini pic
It comes after Andy flaunted his new romance on a never-ending trip to Ibiza BIKINI BABE Andy Carroll's ex Billi Mucklow takes savage swipe at star with sizzling bikini pic Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) BILLI Mucklow has given her ex-husband Andy Carroll a look at what he's missing by posing in bikini in Mallorca. The former Towie star, 37, has shared several sizzling photos online and told her followers: "Back To My Happy Place." Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 5 Billi Mucklow has wowed in a bikini while in Majorca Credit: Instagram 5 The former Towie star has shown her ex Andy Carroll what he's missing Credit: Instagram 5 Andy has been flaunting his new romance with Lou Teasdale Credit: Instagram In the snaps, Billi is clutching a glass of white wine in her hand and beaming at the camera while paddling in a private swimming pool. Billi's caption appears to be taking a swipe at the former Newcastle and West Ham ace, who she split with last summer. During the couple's turbulent two-year marriage, Billi had jetted out to Mallorca with her girl friends to let her hair down. She was joined on the trip by her former Towie co-stars Georgia Kousoulou and Shelby Tribble - and it came days after The Sun revealed Andy had been "dirty dancing" with a DJ at a house party. At the time, Georgia shared some pics of the girls' holiday and told her followers: "Our first 24 hours back in our happy place." Billi also appears to be shrugging off Andy's shock decision to take his new girlfriend, Lou Teasdale, to Mallorca on their first holiday together. Last October, Andy whisked Lou to the Spanish island to celebrate her 41st birthday. His split with Billi, which came after they had been together for 11 years, had only been revealed a very short while beforehand. While in Mallorca, the couple packed on the PDA as they rolled around on a sun lounger while kissing. But it is clear Billi is refusing to let Andy's antics with Lou taint her feelings towards her "happy place". Former England striker Andy Carroll openly kissed and cuddled new girlfriend Lou Teasdale at the sun-kissed Balneario Beach Club in Mallorca Commenting on her new photos, Towie star Chloe Meadows told Billi: "Wow! You look incredible!!" Danielle Armstrong added: "Yes you look insane fire🔥." Another of Billi's followers even wrote: "Best thing ya done girl getting shot of him!!! 🔥🔥😍." Earlier this month, The Sun told how rising tensions between Billi and Andy are set to explode after he flaunted his romance with Lou on a never-ending Ibiza break. While Andy was away, Billi was holding the fort at home - looking after their three children and his two children from a previous relationship. A source told us: "Everyone thinks Andy is acting like an utter p***k and is making himself look like a total fool posting so many sexy shots with Lou - who he moved on with alarmingly quickly after separating from the mother of his kids. 'While he is off galavanting around the party island, posting all these snaps that scream 'we are having hot sex!', Billi is at home looking after not only their children, but his two kids from a previous relationship with ex-fiancee Faye Johnstone. 'It's a silent gut-punch to Billie, who is an angel and adores the kids - looking after them and protecting them from this circus is her number one priority. "To her it's second nature to be there for them and to be their caregiver." Andy is now based in France after signing for Championnat National 2 club Bordeaux. Billi is living with the children in Essex. The former couple married in 2022. During his stag do, Andy was pictured passed out on a bed with two women. This month, Andy and Billi's home went under offer for a seven-figure sum after being listed for £8.5million. 5 Andy and Billi's split was announced last October
