Holly Willoughby 'to receive £1 million' as she settles legal battle with former agents

ok.co.uk:

Holly Willoughby is said to have proved victorious following a legal battle with her former agents, YMU Group. The talent management company reportedly wanted 15% of Holly’s future deals, sparking the Dancing On Ice presenter, 41, to hire high-end lawyers to represent her early last year.

The case focused on something known as a “sunset clause”, where agents collect commission from a celebrity who has left them.

Holly left the agency in 2020, and has since set up her own agency named Roxy Management. While Holly could have been forced to pay out an eye-watering seven-figure sum to the agency if she lost, she was said to be refusing to go down without a fight.

Now, 18 months on, the mum-of-three is said to have won the legal battle and will receive £1 million. An insider told The Sun: “This has paid off handsomely for Holly and she’s now free to earn millions of pounds for years to come and become the most powerful woman in British TV. “She is now very much her own boss and agent.” OK!
