boozy

HOLLY Willoughby giggled the afternoon away on a boozy lunch with her star-studded girl squad after it was revealed she’s plotting a major career rebrand.

Former darling of ITV, Holly, 45, took centre stage in a fun video clip from a lunch date with pals Nicole Appleton, Emma Bunton, Christine Lampard and Vice President of Artist Relations at Universal Music, Shiarra Bell.

Mojitos looked to be the favoured drink for most of the girl gang, who appeared in playful mood as they looked into the camera.

Holly chose the Sex and the City theme to soundtrack the clip on Instagram and continued the US drama theme in the caption which referenced lead character Carrie Bradshaw [Sarah Jessica Parker].

She wrote: “As Carrie Bradshaw said… They say nothing lasts forever; dreams change, trends come and go, but friendships never go out of style. Love my girls…”

The post went down a treat.

CBB legend Kate Lawler wrote: “Love the energy of this girl gang.”

EastEnders icon Sam Womack said: “Jealous!!!! Love you lot.”

One fan added: “Love that they’ve grown up in the industry together and remained friends. Bet their WhatsApp chats are juicy!”

Holly has been lying low since her time on Netflix‘s Celebrity Bear Hunt early last year.

She’s been absent from TV screens for the longest period in her career, having previously been an ever present on This Morning, Celebrity Juice and Dancing on Ice.

But the mum-of-three, who is married to TV producer Dan Baldwin, is now branching out from traditional TV and is preparing a comeback on YouTube.

Her channel will start with a magazine show similar to This Morning – effectively marking the dawn of “Holly TV”.

Our insider explained: “Holly has been slowly shedding her This Morning self for a few years now and has been gradually letting the fans see the real her more and more.

“Once rarely posting on social media, Holly will now happily share her outfits, favourite tipples and days out with her very cool group of pals.

“When she was on This Morning her friendship with the likes of the Appleton sisters was kept on the down-low but now there’s no need for her to live up to a certain image.

“She has always been a party girl at heart, but kept it very well hidden while on the daytime TV show.”

Since stepping back from the box, Holly has posted edgier content on social media, including an out of character F-bomb.

When American hip hop group Salt-N-Pepa announced they would be performing in the UK, a delighted Holly squealed online: “Excuse my language but f**k, I’ve waited my whole life for this.”

The insider continued: “Holly would never have sworn online while she was on This Morning but is deliberately showing a different side to herself. She wants to be seen as cool and edgy.

“She was definitely keeping up appearances while on the show and can now finally be herself fully.”

Though the former kids TV presenter has maintained a clean cut image, her party girl image has long been talked about in media circles.

In 2019 she partied until the early hours at The Streets’ comeback gig afterparty at Brixton Academy with Nicole Appleton, wearing a T-shirt that read: “Good girls go to heaven, bad girls go backstage”.

Her legendary drinking stamina has led to her being labelled a “robot” by pal Keith Lemon.

“Holly is a party animal. I’m a drinker, but I can’t keep up with her,” he told The Sun.

While Piers Morgan said: “Piers Morgan backed up his comments, admitting: “If I go to a party and Holly Willoughby is there, you know your liver is in for a caning, and you could end up in a career-ending situation. She’s a very dangerous lady. Very dangerous.”

JACK Whitehall partied the night away as he enjoyed a star-studded stag do.

He was joined by plenty of famous faces for a very boozy night out.

The comedian and actor is preparing to tie the knot to model Roxy Horner but made sure to make the most of life pre-marriage on his big night out – which included visiting an X-rated nightclub.

Among his fellow celebs with Jamie Redknapp and James Corden as well as ex-rugby star, Lawrence Dagglio.

Jack and his pals partied for more than six hours on the London pub crawl.

Things got underway around 3pm when Jack and the lads sank pints at The Devonshire pub.

What Jack Whitehall & Brit Award stars REALLY said as ITV cut risky jokes

Spirits seemed merry within moments of things kicking off for Jack and his friends.

By 5pm, they had moved onto racy London nightclub, The Box.

The ominous venue, a favourite amongst celebrities, is traditionally only open late into the night and the early hours.

It is believed the venue put on a private show for Jack as part of his stag-do.

The Box has a reputation for its outrageous, raucous, and highly sexualized late-night performances.

By 8:30pm, Jack and his pals had moved onto mini-golf hotspot, Swingers.

The group then ended the night with drinks at the Soho Hotel bar – with speculation that Jack could have been staying at the high-end hotel overnight.

James Corden went missing for a few hours during the evening before eventually making his way back to the group for the final moments.

Jack became engaged to model Roxy at the end of 2024 and is due to marry in a matter of weeks.

The couple met while Jack was on a trip to Australia in 2020 and they ended up isolating together in London during the coronavirus pandemic.

They welcomed their first child Elsie in September last year.

At the time, Jack announced the news online and said: “In awe of my partner who has been amazing throughout this journey and is going to be the greatest mum ever.”

At the time of The Sun revealing Jack and Roxy’s engagement, a pal said: “Jack and Roxy are going into Christmas as an engaged couple.

“He asked Roxy to marry him earlier this month and she said yes straight away.

“They could not be happier together and are looking forward to planning their wedding.”

Roxy, who was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes in 2021, has previously praised Jack for his support.

OLIVIA Attwood looked stunning as she enjoyed a wild night out with a host of Love Islanders this weekend in New York- with the star posing up a storm in knee high boots and a lace skirt.

It comes following the TV personality’s split from her footballer husband Bradley Dack, who was seen without his wedding ring for the first time this week.

Former Love Island star Olivia is across the pond to celebrate the launch of her collaboration with high street brand River Island.

She is joined fellow reality stars such as Toni Laites, Samantha Kenny. and Samie Elishi – who is also newly single following her split from Ciaran Davies.

Sharing a reel to her Instagram, Olivia was filmed as she told the camera: “First night in New York, going to town, RIP.”

She then said: “It all goes downhill from here…”

Dressed in a satin mini skirt with a lace trim and knee-high boots, Olivia looked stunning for the night out.

She posed for a slew of snaps before hitting the town.

Olivia and the group were then filmed throughout the night as they hit the city’s clubs and let loose.

Sipping on cocktails and wine, the video showed the group as they danced together and even cheekily lifted up their tops and skirts – covering themselves with emojis.

Confirming that the girls had quite the time, Toni commented on the post: “downhill for sure”.

“A time was had,” said Sophie Piper.

The hangover seemed to hit hard too, as Olivia joked this morning that she was “hanging on by a thread”.

It comes as her estranged husband Bradley was pictured leaving training at League Two Gillingham, minus his gold wedding band this week.

The TV star split from footballer Bradley, 32, earlier this year following a “breach of trust” on his part.

Olivia is yet to divulge exactly what went on between them.

However, she did say that she would speak about her marriage breakdown when the time is right – insisting she had a “lot to process”.

The couple wed in 2023, four years after getting engaged.
