Who is Holly Willoughby married to?

Holly has previously revealed how she spent “the whole day in tears” when she married Dan.
In a post on her lifestyle brand Wylde Moon, Holly revealed the tears started when her dad, Brian, saw her in her dress for the first time.
She went on to say she was “bowled over by how beautiful it looked and smelt,” at their reception, which took place at Amberley Castle.
Holly said: “We had little pots of fresh herbs on all the tables as wedding favours for guests to take home, and the intoxicating fragrance of bay, basil, mint, rosemary, oregano, sage was just unreal.
“I just burst into tears…again! I mean, I literally spent the whole day in tears!”

Who did Holly Willoughby date before her husband?
While Holly has been with TV producer Dan Baldwin for 17 years, little is known of her past dating history, which unlike many of her fellow celeb pals, she’s managed to keep under the radar.
While she’s remained largely tight-lipped about her exes, in 2012 the former model revealed that she once dated a cowboy.
Why has Holly Willoughby left this morning?
Holly Willoughby quit This Morning because the show ‘wasn’t the same’ after her co-host Phillip Schofield left but was finally ‘tipped over the edge’ by an alleged ‘kidnap and murder plot’, insiders have claimed.
On October 10, 2023, Ms Willoughby, 42, announced that she ‘will not be returning’ to the show. She said it was an ‘honour to just be part of its story’ over the last 14 years but that she feels ‘I have to make this decision for me and my family’.
The ITV presenter, acknowledging that leaving is ‘such a difficult goodbye’, thanked the network for ‘being supportive’. She also expressed her gratitude to the ‘wonderful viewers’ that she says have been ‘loyal, so supportive and the very best company’ over the years.
Her exit from the show comes after a former Pizza Hut worker was remanded in custody last week charged over an alleged plot to kidnap and murder Ms Willoughby.
Gavin Plumb, 36, from Harlow, Essex, is accused of offenses including soliciting to commit murder and incitement to commit kidnap in relation to the broadcaster.
