Holly Willoughby and husband Dan Baldwin 'torn over time apart' as she leaves UK

As Holly Willoughby prepares to leave the UK to film a huge new TV series, a source told us she’s happy to step off the “rollercoaster ride” she’s been on for the past year, but claimed the opportunity comes at a personal cost.The 43 year old is currently packing her bags to fly to Central America for her new Netflix show with adventurer Bear Grylls.

While it’s expected to give her presenting career a welcome boost after a difficult 12 months, it also means spending time away from “her rock”, TV exec husband Dan Baldwin, and their three children. “She’s going to miss Dan and the family so was a bit torn about going back but she needs to get her career back on track and has to do this,” our source said. “They’re a really strong couple and they can do distance.

She got quite a knock after all the trolling last year and she wants to put it all behind her, this is a great new start.” Holly’s troubles began in May last year when she was pulled into the whirlwind surrounding co-host Phillip Schofield’s “unwise but not illegal” affair, and his subsequent resignation from the show they hosted together for 14 years.

Despite being under the huge scrutiny of This Morning ’s viewers, Holly continued to hold the reins until October, when she made a shock announcement saying she was quitting the flagship morning show for the sake of “me and my family”.
