Holly Willoughby reunites with This Morning co-star two years after exit

Holly Willoughby shared a sweet photo with Clodagh McKenna on her former This Morning coworker on Instagram, saying she had a “full heart” two years after leaving.

Holly Willoughby reunited with former This Morning colleague Clodagh McKenna, two years after she left her presenting duties on the ITV show following a terrifying kidnap and murder plot.

Holly, 44, spent the day with her older sister Kelly, 47, and Clodagh, 50, in a stylish country kitchen as Holly shared they had ‘full tummy’s and full hearts’ on her Instagram. Holly was snapped grinning from ear to ear as she posed in the middle of the women as they all held hands.

Holly had her glossy blonde hair in loose waves and looked stylish in a tweed coat. Kelly also matched the country-style backdrop in a khaki farmer jacket, while former This Morning culinary expert Clodagh looked cosy in a cream cable knit sweater.

Holly mentioned Clodagh’s own business Honey by Clodagh in the caption of her book Wylde Moon, which Holly also promoted. She wrote, “Full tummy’s and full hearts, lovely day with @ladywilloughby and @clodagh_mckenna… Finally introduced @wyldemoon to @honeybyclodagh… they love each other.”

The post from Holly comes two years after her departure from This Morning. She had worked as a co-presenter for 14 years alongside Phillip Schofield before she confirmed that she ‘will not be returning’.

Holly and Phillip were accused of queue jumping at the Lying-in-State of Queen Elizabeth II, and they both faced a number of blows in the months leading up to her departure.

In the months that followed, Holly reportedly learned that Phillip had been having an “unwise but not illegal” affair with a younger male coworker, something she reportedly didn’t know about.

Following a trial at Chelmsford Crown Court, a security guard was then sentenced to a year in jail for a plot to kidnap, rape, and murder Holly. With a minimum term of 16 years, Gavin Plumb was found guilty and given a life sentence.

Holly announced that she would leave the ITV daytime program in October 2023 after the events, saying it would be a “difficult goodbye.” Holly stated in a statement posted on Instagram that she had informed ITV that she would no longer be working on This Morning after 14 years. Thank you so much to everyone who has participated in the show over the years. You’re incredible, and I’m forever proud of what we’ve accomplished together, so why say goodbye?

“Thank you to ITV’s entire staff for their support. Thank you to each and every visitor to our sofa. Most of all, we want to thank the wonderful viewers. You have always been the best, most trustworthy, and most trustworthy people.

The viewers will always have ownership of this show, Richard and Judy said. I’ve had the privilege of being a part of its story, and I’m aware that there are still many chapters to go in it. Unfortunately, I now feel like I must choose between myself and my family. I’m so sorry for you all. Holly”.

The Wanted’s Max George returns to the stage months after heart surgery

Max George, a former The Wanted star, recently had heart surgery and had jetted to Las Vegas for his first ever US tour.

The Wanted ‘s Max George has flown half-way around the world to reunite with bandmate Siva Kaneswaran for their first ever show in the US this week – less than a year after he was undergoing life-saving heart surgery.

37-year-old Max had to have heart surgery in December 2024, after he was rushed to hospital following issues with his circulation. He later revealed that he was feeling so unwell, he wrote a will whilst in hospital. Surgeons fitted the singer with a pacemaker a week after he was admitted to hospital and uncovered a heart block.

Since then, Max has returned to the hospital. Just a few months after the first operation, it became clear that the pacemaker had been inserted too deeply and needed to be refitted.

Then in September, Max again revealed to his Instagram followers that he’d gone to hospital. Sharing a picture of himself in a hospital bed, he said he was waiting to see a doctor but also seemed sure he would be able to embark on his world tour.

Max, who was formerly with The Wanted, has since begun their world tour and reunited with Siva Kaneswaran for shows together in Las Vegas. The Wanted 2.0 is a collaboration between the pair, who are scheduled to play numerous US dates.

Though the whole band went on hiatus in 2014, The Wanted came back together in 2021 for a charity gig after Tom Parker was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer.

The singer died in 2022, and the other two members, Nathan Sykes and Jay McGuinness, have not joined their bandmates in America so far. But Max and Siva still seemed to be enjoying themselves and posted a pic of them outside the venue to Instagram.

Max revealed details about his experience with The Sun earlier this year: “I started feeling a little rough. I was unable to identify it. I struggled to get out of bed because I was quite lethargic and stuff. But I didn’t believe it to be very serious.

“Thankfully, I’d gotten up to go to my mother’s house to get some rest, and I remembered that my hands were blue, my arms were gray, and I was in the cold. I had trouble getting up in bed.

He continued, “There was a night when my heart rate dropped and I felt like I was dying” shortly after the pacemaker was fitted and before he had left the hospital.

He shared that it was “quite close” that night. My neck was actually closing, which is when the panic really started. I was in agony. I felt emotional at the worst time.

Tommy Fury shares family update after Molly-Mae forced to take anti-anxiety meds

After mum-of-one Molly opened up about her battle with anxiety, Tommy Fury and Molly-Mae Hague shared a family photo, he and Molly-Mae Hague have since shown that their relationship is back on track.

Tommy Fury has shared a family photo with Molly-Mae Hague and their daughter, just as the influencer revealed she was prescribed beta blockers to manage anxiety triggered by tension in their relationship.

The couple, both 26, first met on Love Island in 2019 and briefly separated last year amid reports of Tommy’s drinking and alleged infidelity. They later reconciled, but in the latest episode of Molly-Mae’s Behind It All series on Amazon Prime Video, she details how the strain of their relationship affected her mental health.

Molly-Mae is seen hanging up on Tommy during a difficult phone conversation before confessing her struggles in a moving scene.

Even though Tommy and I have been far better and have progressed significantly, there are still times when I get really anxious, like when I hear the word “alcohol,” she said.

When Tommy and our relationship aren’t in good shape or there is a problem, she said, “I care so much about it,” she continued.

“I had a panic attack, and I felt like I was sick.” My body is essentially not coping with it, I thought, Oh God, this is not good. Yes, it was awful. I was anxious, so I needed beta blockers.

Despite the raw admission, Tommy appeared to show that things between them have since stabilised. He posted an Instagram photo of a family brunch on Sunday, showing Molly-Mae cuddling their daughter Bambi at a pink-themed café.

In a different episode of the series, Molly-Mae speaks with Zoe Rae about the couple’s current housing situation. The pair have been living apart despite reconciling.

“Tommy and I, in an ideal world, we wouldn’t be in two separate houses and hopefully by the end of this year we won’t be,” she said.

Zoe responded, “I believe you need to test it.” Her sister rebuffed Molly-Mae’s claim that she was “always there,” saying, “You’re not, Molly. Every other day, you’re there. Again, Bambi would not find this to be normal and beneficial.

Molly-Mae remarked on the conversation, “I never know what tomorrow will bring, so the idea of going there and putting all my eggs in one basket is frightful.”

She told her sister, “At the moment, having two homes and living apart is almost a safety blanket for me.”

The pair, who were photographed kissing on New Year’s Eve, officially confirmed their reunion in May. Molly-Mae later admitted that while “things aren’t perfect,” she and Tommy are “still figuring it out.”

She continued, “Tommy and I never had that issue because many people claim having children can really pull you apart.”

“Bambi has always been really good for our relationship, and she’s recently actually improved our relationship.”
