Holly Willoughby news: Former This Morning star to land radio job?
With a career spanning two decades, Holly has been the face of countless television shows. But it seems Holly has never really ventured out into the world of radio. But apparently, that could all be changing…
There have been a number of approaches to Holly which she can weigh up whenever she is ready.
According to reports, BBC are “keen” to get Holly to agree to a radio job – with Global also hoping to get Holly “on their books”.
‘Perfect fit’
A source claimed to The Sun: “After she quit This Morning, she has more time on her hands and a weekly radio gig could be the perfect fit. Claudia Winkleman stepped down from her weekly slot on Radio 2 and the BBC would love to see if Holly would consider it.”
The insider then added: “Global is also keen to see if she’d work with them, especially after Amanda Holden proved to be such a hit for them on Heart and Kate Garraway on Smooth Radio. There have been a number of approaches to Holly which she can weigh up whenever she is ready.”
ED! has contacted Holly’s representatives and the BBC for comment.
Holly to replace Claudia on Radio 2?
TV favourite Claudia confirmed in December last year that she was leaving her Radio 2 show.
Claudia told listeners that she intends to spend the time with her children and praised replacement host Romesh Ranganathan as “brilliantly laugh-out-loud funny”.
The Strictly Come Dancing host said: “I absolutely love Radio 2. And it’s been a privilege to host the Saturday morning show for three years. I will miss our amazing guests, our brilliant listeners and the one and only Sally Traffic.”
But now Claudia wants to dedicate more time to her family and has decided to leave. The mum has three children – Jake, 20, 17-year-old Matilda and Arthur, 11, and Jake is already at university.
