I'm now a Glasses wearer... game changer." Holly and husband Dan Baldwin have three children together, a 16-year-old son Harry, 12-year-old daughter Belle, and nine-year-old Chester.

Although she's been a regular fixture on television for many years, currently there appear to be no set plans for her viewers to anticipate.

A source told The Sun that it would make "perfect sense" for Holly to be considered for the role.

She has worked alongside Dan before and the pair know what it takes to make great telly."

Another project Holly is being considered for is a new Channel 4 programme aimed at discovering fresh singing talent. Holly made her return to television last year after an 18-month hiatus. Reports suggest that ITV is eager to retain Holly, following recent discussions with Katie Rawcliffe, director of entertainment and daytime, about future opportunities. An insider 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. "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 meeting happened to coincide with the broadcast of a documentary about Holly's kidnapping. Article continues below Holly opted out of involvement in Channel 5's documentary, The Plot To Kill Holly Willoughby, which chronicled the disturbing plan by an obsessed security guard named Gavin Plumb to kidnap, sexually assault and murder her. It was this harrowing ordeal that prompted her to step back from her presenting duties on ITV1's This Morning and to temporarily withdraw from television.

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.

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.

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.

Holly Willoughby proves blondes do have more fun as she dyes her own hair The former This Morning host's celeb buddies filled the comments section with their well wishes. Emma Bunton wrote: "There's my gorgeous girls!!!" while Lisa Snowdon said: "The cutest pic!" and Christine Lampard inserted a string of heart-eyed emojis. Meanwhile, it has been a testing few years for the former ITV treasure - as she has been left without a TV show for the first time in years. One option for the star could be a reboot of Record Breakers, which Holly's husband Dan Baldwin is already working on. There is currently no channel attached to the show, which is in its very early stages but sources say it would be a "perfect fit". A telly insider said: "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." She has also been linked to a reboot of Cilla Black's best-known show, Blind Date. The Sun told this week how the ITV classic is being revived - and in a surprise twist will go to global streaming service Disney+. Producers want to keep the tradition of a top British female host, with a shortlist also including Claudia Winkleman and Davina McCall. Sources say Holly is also being looked at for a new Channel 4 talent show, currently dubbed Secret Singers, which is searching for raw, undiscovered singing talent. Love Productions - the creators of The Great British Bake Off and The Piano - have already put out a casting call. An insider said: "This is likely to be a heartwarming and hugely popular show for all the family. "They are looking for a the perfect host to make sure it's a huge success and it could be perfect timing with Holly's break in TV."
