Holly Willoughby signals at a fresh start with social media move as she puts her troubled year behind her


It's been a stressful time for the presenter, who was the victim of the alleged plot to kidnap and murder her, and also fell out with longtime friend Phillip Schofield.

The Mail on Sunday revealed that she met Stephen, 46, two weeks earlier for the pictures to be taken – just days after she made her first public outing since early October, when a former Essex security guard was charged with contacting a hitman in the US to kidnap and murder her. It is understood that she and Stephen did not meet the show's judges, including Olympic gold medalists Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean, but instead had their own private shoot at a studio in London. On Sunday at 6.30pm, Holly will co-host the programme - whose stars include Love Island's Amber Davies, Eddie 'the Eagle' Edwards and former Brookside actress Claire Sweeney, from ITV's studio at the old RAF base in Bovingdon, Hertfordshire.
