She's worth every penny

It’s been a good year for Holly Willoughby especially now she’s getting rave reviews fronting the popular I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! – and it’s really starting to show in her earnings.

The TV star owns a company with her husband Dan Baldwin, and a new report says the couple paid themselves almost £1.7million last year – nearly double her earnings from the year before.

The 37-year-old owns 80% of her business Roxy Media, with producer Dan holding onto the other 20%.

Their public accounts showed Holly paid herself £1,355,784 in dividends in 2017, while Dan, 43, got £338,946.

The Sun Online claims the earnings are up from the £950,000 the couple took home the year before.

Holly has been a popular addition to this year’s presenting team, covering Ant McPartlin while he recuperates.

Viewers have praised the chemistry between her and sidekick Declan Donnelly calling them: “Hilarious” and “brilliant.”

Holly’s jungle fashion on the other hand, has been a little more divisive.

She confused fans on Friday when she wore a $219 “sexy” low-cut black cocktail style dress, from Australian brand Hansel and Gretel.

Baffled viewers flocked to comment on the evening look, with one writing: “Does Holly Willoughby know she’s in the jungle??? What the ‘eck is she wearing? LBD feminine dress!”

A second added: “I thought this was supposed to be the jungle, not a fashion parade catwalk.”

With business booming, Holly’s going to be able to buy as many floral – or cocktail – dresses as she likes. Good for you, Hol.
