Personal life

The personal life secton has only got one sentence and doesn't really talk about her past personal life. Please expand it. --Eddie (talk/contribs) 09:36, 10 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm confused. At the top it says spouse: "Dan Baldwin (m. 2007)" which I believe is correct. But in Personal Life, it says "On the 14th of January 2014 she married Chris Downie..." This is totally incorrect. Could you please correct this? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.129.150.121 (talk) 21:12, 16 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • This vandalism (from 14 January 2014) has been reverted. Note: When starting a new discussion on a Talk page, please start a new section at the bottom of the page, as that is where other editors will look for new discussions. Dwpaul Talk 22:19, 16 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Cat:Sex symbols

Yay we have a citation for this! This means only 343 other entries to go. - brenneman(t)(c) 21:48, 9 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Not quite sure what you mean: what happens when it gets to #344? Further, do you mean that this article is cited elsewhere (where?) or that it contains citations? Or do you mean something else? Jubilee♫clipman 09:10, 20 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

S Club TV (2000)

Think this should read either Miami7 (renamed in US: S Club 7 in Miami) or LA7 (renamed in US: S Club 7 in LA). Not sure which is correct, but I am sure there never was an S Club TV. Jubilee♫clipman 03:42, 15 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Fame Academy

I think this was presented by Cat Deeley, not Holly? It was not a children's program either but a general audience program. Jubilee♫clipman 06:01, 15 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Answering own question: It obviously meant the CBBC version of Fame Academy. Have corrected. Jubilee♫clipman 09:16, 20 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Very sad page given the subject

Having worked extensively on Fearne Cotton's Wiki, I am going to attempt this one. I am stunned at the lack of depth and interest, given the lady this article references... "I may some time..." as Lawrence Oates once said.... Jubilee♫clipman 23:51, 22 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Unexpectedly, some of the fact are hard to source. The MoM breast incident for one: the Hollywood Premier article is the best written source I've found that actually mentions Ministry. Obviously, can't use the YouTube footage...  ;) Also, I'm not sure if all the stuff about D O'L's comments on not looking 3 months gone and SC's further daft remark re twins are notable enough, and they could led to fansite status. Will prob delete. Jubilee♫clipman 04:13, 24 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, Holly if you're reading this: add a suitable piccie please! We don't want 5 or 6 more complaints... ;) Ask Fearne and Dan to do the same, too please. Images of the subject add to the status of the article enormously. Thanks. BTW, don't edit the page as self-penned bits are deleted ASAP... Jubilee♫clipman 04:17, 24 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Think I've gone as far as I can to improve this article, so far. I may return. Hopefully a nice Christmas present for Holly though! Please help by (a) checking accuracy, (b) adding reliable references, (c) and checking style. Also check whether everything is relevent and topical enough for Wiki eg minor scandals. Thanks Jubilee♫clipman 08:22, 25 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Do not delete

Holly Willoughby is very notable in the UK. She has worked in the TV industry as a well-known presenter for several years. She has recently become famous as the presenter of Dancing on Ice. See my other comments above, too. Jubilee♫clipman 04:34, 24 December 2008 (UTC) You should click What links here button, too; she has nearly 150 link pages, at least 70 of them to notable people, events, or TV shows.

First I've heard of it, http://twitter.com/hollywills/status/5446279458

Why cant you use youtube as ref? Not their content to upload?86.139.101.41 (talk) 16:30, 8 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

We can use this as a source. First anyone's heard of it by the looks of things. Not sure why you're asking about Youtube though. AnemoneProjectors (talk) 18:17, 8 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Surprise Surprise

Shouldn't the section headed "Mainstream TV" mention that she presents a programme called "Surprise Surprise"? ACEOREVIVED (talk) 20:53, 12 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Willoughbooby

I'm surprised there's no mention of the very popular nickname "Holly Willoughbooby". I wonder what the origin of it is. I'm guessing either Leigh Francis or Al Murray. 188.174.88.79 (talk) 15:29, 22 November 2012 (UTC) D[reply]

There's mention of it on the Celebrity Juice wiki page so I'm guessing Leigh Francis. EastEndersfan2004 talk 17.00, 27 March 2013 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by EastEndersfan2004 (talk • contribs) ----

Assessment comment

The comment(s) below were originally left at Talk:Holly Willoughby/Comments, and are posted here for posterity. Following several discussions in past years, these subpages are now deprecated. The comments may be irrelevant or outdated; if so, please feel free to remove this section.

this page should be deleted, she is not a notable person, and therefore not worthy of a wikepedia page, wikepedia is not a celeb magazine nor a telephone directory. Do not delete she is very notable in UK, having worked extensively as a presenter and model. Futhermore, she may follow Fearne Cotton the USA soon. I am working on the article to bring it up to Wiki standards. Her career is incomplete and merely in list form for now: that will change over the next week. Jubilee♫clipman 04:29, 24 December 2008 (UTC) Expansion done. Still needs work. Jubilee♫clipman 09:03, 25 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Surname

There's no ref given for her having changed her name to Baldwin - is there any evidence that she's ever used this name? Marthiemoo (talk) 22:45, 5 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Repetition Removed

I've seen the repetition of the quote 'Willoughy is a brand ambassador for Diet Coke in the UK, as well as for Marks & Spencer and Garnier.'. I removed it from the lead section, but kept it on the personal life section. 62.252.18.98 (talk) 07:30, 19 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Controversies

Queen Elizabeth II lying in state

On 17 September 2022 Holly Willoughby and presenter Schofield drew criticism for not joining The Queue with the public, when filming for This Morning at the lying in state of Queen Elizabeth II in Westminster Hall.[30] ITV said that Schofield was escorted from the press gallery by government staff, and did not file past the Queen's coffin. Social media users contrasted this against the actions of other celebrities such as David Beckham and Susanna Reid, who queued for many hours with members of the general public. 86.13.41.77 (talk) 22:44, 21 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comparison with Philip Schofield page

Holly Willoughby & Philip Schofield were both accused of the the same thing, jumping the queue. There is no mention of it in Holly's page. This is what is written in Schofield's page:

Queen Elizabeth II lying in state On 17 September 2022 Schofield and presenter Holly Willoughby drew criticism for not joining The Queue with the public, when filming for This Morning at the lying in state of Queen Elizabeth II in Westminster Hall.[1] ITV said that Schofield was escorted from the press gallery by government staff, and did not file past the Queen's coffin. Social media users contrasted this against the actions of other celebrities such as David Beckham[2] and Susanna Reid,[3] who queued for many hours with members of the general public.

This is in the controversies section of Schofield's page.

  1. ^ "Holly Willoughby and Philip Schofield criticised for 'jumping queue' to see Queen". The Independent. 2022-09-17. Retrieved 2022-09-17.
  2. ^ "David Beckham hailed for queuing for 13 hours as other celebrities skip queue". The Independent. 2022-09-17. Retrieved 2022-09-17.
  3. ^ Amin, Meghna (2022-09-16). "Susanna Reid queued for more than 7 hours to witness the Queen lying in state". Metro. Retrieved 2022-09-17.
Both articles were locked at different times on the 19th due to IPs repeatedly adding "queue jumper" to the lead sections and infoboxes. There's no considered reason for the section being in one article but not the other. Perhaps too early to say whether the angry confusion will come to anything, but even if they end up being sacked from This Morning for it, that probably shouldn't be any more than a sentence in their television career sections, in the long-term scheme of things. --Lord Belbury (talk) 16:18, 22 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Philip Schofield's boyfriend

Philip Schofield's boyfriend has now made the affair public, but it seems we are not allowed to name him, even though his name is widely publicised on YouTube. They first met when he was 10 years old. Apparently Ruth Langsford made a formal complaint about "inappropriate behaviour" and got sacked as a result. This article should at least contain Willoughby's reaction to Schofield's many year of lying about his boyfriend., She has said that his lying was "very hurtful": [2] 86.187.231.14 (talk) 16:15, 28 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

No mention of the feud with Phillip Schofield?

This should be included in this article too, as it involves Holly as well. Her response to Schofield's admission to the affair is also notable enough for inclusion here. 79.66.89.36 (talk) 06:48, 31 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

"Willoughby and Schofield present the programme from Monday to Thursday mornings."

This needs changing as Schofield left the show. 79.66.89.36 (talk) 14:33, 31 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
