“That’s where Holly’s special agreement with Stephen comes in. Holly is thrilled to have Stephen there, but at the end of the day, this is her show and her rules, and he’s fine with that.”

The source reportedly added: “Stephen is the perfect presenting partner for her – there’s not a toxic bone in his body and they can just get the job done, stay great friends, and Holly doesn’t have to worry about having to compete with someone onscreen. There’s no power struggle between them.”
