Holly Willoughby 'ready to change image' as she 'turns her back' on ITV
Holly Willoughby, who left ITV's This Morning in February, is reportedly considering a move to Netflix.
A PR expert believes this could be a "good move" for her career and image. The 42 year old presenter is rumoured to be hosting a new Netflix show with Bear Grylls, which will involve celebrities competing against Bear in jungle challenges.
"I feel that Holly is ready to step into something new when it comes to her career and TV personality. Having been associated with ITV This Morning for so long, I think she is ready to make a change," Rochelle White from Rochelle White Communications told Express.co.uk.
She added that the Netflix show would introduce Holly to a wider audience and support her efforts to change her image. “The Netflix show is far removed from the daytime persona she is known for and could be a welcomed change," she added.
