This Morning’s Holly Willoughby is set to keep presenting on the ITV daytime programme for at least another two years, insiders claim.

The 40-year-old presenter is said to have signed a huge contract securing her spot alongside Phillip Schofield on the show after reports earlier this year claimed bosses were fearful she’d walk following a dispute with her former agents.

‘It seems like everybody wants that gig, but Holly is very much secured for the next two years on a rolling contract,’ an insider told The Mirror.

The news of Holly’s fixture on This Morning comes after she launched her lifestyle project Wylde Moon in September, a website exploring topics from ‘beauty and fashion, to energy and healing’.

Holly was inspired to create the project while co-hosting I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! in Australia in 2018 as she explored the world of alternative therapies, including meditation and sound baths.

The platform is split into seven categories: women, moonboard, podcast, energy, beauty, style and family.

The first episode of its accompanying By The Light of the Moon podcast features Girls star Lena Dunham.

Holly wrote on Instagram at the time: ‘I’m so excited to introduce you to @wyldemoon, a very personal project that I have been working on for a long time.

‘It is a space full of things that I love and people that inspire me… from beauty and fashion, to energy and healing.

‘Each month, on the full moon, we will be adding exciting new content & watch out for the WYLDE MOON boutique launching soon.

‘This is just the beginning, so dive in at WYLDEMOON.co.uk #wyldemoon.’

The TV presenter has co-hosted ITV’s morning programme since 2009 and has also appeared on shows including Celebrity Juice, The Xtra Factor and The Voice.

In a statement on her new website, she added: ‘I want WYLDE MOON to be a place where I can share the things that I love, the lessons that I’ve learnt, the things I see and instantly want to share with others.

‘I want it to be a place where we can celebrate other people, too, where we can shine a light on them, their brands, their experiences.

‘It’s a celebration of all kinds of beauty.

‘WYLDE MOON is the embodiment of me reaching a stage in life where, although I have lots of experience, I still don’t fully know who I am.

‘In a selfish way, I am putting this all together to help me and if I can take anyone else along for the ride at the same time, even better. You’re all welcome. Come on in!’
