Holly Willoughby presenting role 'axed just weeks before big TV return'

ok.co.uk:

Holly Willoughby has suffered a setback as her stint as presenter on Freeze the Fear with Wim Hof has reportedly been cancelled by BBC after just one series.The show challenged celebrities to withstand freezing conditions and complete a range of challenges.The 42 year old presenter was joined by comedian Lee Mack on the main stage, while Munya Chawawa and Yung Filly hosted a BBC3 side show.

It was thought the presenting stint would be a great chance for Holly to host more shows on the BBC and slowly switch from ITV.

But, the disappointing news that it's been dropped follows an extremely challenging year for Holly which saw her friendship with Phillip Schofield end and her decision to leave ITV's This Morning.

An insider told The Sun: "This bad news caps off what's been an extremely difficult year for Holly, which has seen her drastically reassess her life and career. "Having Freeze the Fear axed reduces her options and leaves a question mark over where she goes next after leaving her biggest gig as co-host of This Morning." "It's also disappointing for her husband Dan, who runs the production company Hungry Bear that made the show." The show finished after just six episodes with stars like Alfie Boe, Chelcee Grimes, Gabby Logan, Tamzin Outhwaite, and musician Professor Green challenging themselves.
