Holly Willoughby has wowed her followers with a daring new style, and they are absolutely loving it. The ex-This Morning presenter, aged 44, took to Instagram this Thursday to show off her chic transformation, featuring tousled waves and some strikingly bold spectacles.
The mother of three shared a selfie from the car, making light of her new role as 'personal party driver' for her kids. Holly's caption read: "Any other mums/dads of 16 year old, post GCSE children suddenly find themselves with a new role of personal party driver? Mums 'Mini' Cabs ... and yes... I'm now a Glasses wearer... game changer."
Holly, alongside her husband Dan Baldwin, is a doting parent to their three children: 16 year old Harry, Belle who is 12, and Chester, aged nine. With Harry having just finished his GCSEs, it appears Holly has been drafted into driving duties for his post-exam celebrations.
Following the reveal of her updated image, Holly's fans swarmed the comments section to praise her natural wavy locks, with one fan writing: "Gorgeous. You look so pretty and the glasses really suit you."
Another fan added their voice, saying: "Wow! ! ! Holly you have never looked better," reports the Mirror.
This flurry of admiration comes amidst reports that Holly's future career moves are uncertain, as she currently doesn't have any new television projects lined up. Despite being a familiar face on our screens for many years, fans may have to wait a while before seeing what's next for the star.
The television favourite finds herself at a crossroads, facing the first time in 21 years without a programme in the pipeline. This follows the cancellation of her regular presenting role on Dancing On Ice, bringing the show to an end.
Holly's other venture, Bear Hunt with Bear Grylls, has also been dropped from the schedule. Additionally, she has decided to step away from You Bet! leaving Stephen Mulhern to present solo.
However, there's potential on the horizon as Holly's husband Dan Baldwin is reportedly developing a revival of Record Breakers, which could see Holly back in the presenting spotlight. The Sun cites an insider claiming it would be "perfect sense" for Holly to helm the show.
The source commented: "Record Breakers is likely to be a prime time hit and it would make perfect sense for Holly to take the reins. She has worked alongside Dan before and the pair know what it takes to make great telly."
Holly's name is also among those being considered for hosting duties on a reboot of Cilla Black's Blind Date, with Claudia Winkleman and Davina McCall also in the running. Another potential project for Holly is a new Channel 4 show aimed at discovering fresh singing talent. Holly made her TV comeback last year after an 18-month hiatus.

Reports also suggest that ITV is eager to retain Holly's talents, following recent discussions with Katie Rawcliffe, director of entertainment and daytime, regarding future projects.
An insider has disclosed: "Holly always intended to lock in new presenting roles for ITV, which has been her home for so long. She didn't have anything confirmed earlier this year just due to the way the cards had fallen, but there are a string of exciting projects on the table and 2025 is looking good for Holly."
They continued, highlighting her career ambitions: "Holly is looking to the future and this week's meeting was a big part of that. It won't be a return to daytime programming but new entertainment formats."
The strategic meeting happened alongside the broadcast of a documentary that delves into a harrowing episode from her past.
The documentary in question, Channel 5's The Plot To Kill Holly Willoughby, showcased the chilling plans of an obsessed security guard named Gavin Plumb who intended to kidnap, assault, and kill Holly. Deciding not to be involved in the documentary, Holly made the choice subsequent to her traumatic ordeal to step back from her role on ITV1's This Morning and momentarily retire from her television commitments.

Retro US-style roadside diners become tourist attraction in the UK – it's like going back to the 1970s
Plus, Sun Travel visited another American-style diner here in the UK EAT UP Retro US-style roadside diners become tourist attraction in the UK – it's like going back to the 1970s Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THE US is so far away, but luckily, there are diners right here in the UK that are strikingly similar to the diners we have all seen in classic American movies. With comfy seating booths, juicy burgers, pancake stacks and sundaes, visitors have confessed the diner makes them feel like they're in the 1970s. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 5 Brightside diners serve up American-style food like pancakes and milkshakes Credit: Instagram 5 The Brightside decor takes people back to the 1970s Credit: Brightside The American-style diners are known for being nostalgic, as well as hearty food. The inspiration behind the chain sparked from the owners' childhood trips to roadside restaurants - in particular, Little Chef which ceased operations in 2017. All of the Brightside diners are open from Monday to Sunday, 8am to 9pm to accommodate those on long journeys and travelling. In the mornings, Brightside has American dishes like Early Rider which is a mix of smoked streaky bacon, The Jolly Hog 'Proper Porker' sausage, egg, baked beans and sourdough toast. There's also pancake stacks with either fruit or bacon toppings and veggie options. Certain breakfast dishes are served as part of the all day breakfast, but other tasty meals include pizza, burgers, fish and chips, and curry. Also served are sides of chunky chips, cheesy garlic dough balls and macaroni chips. Other classic American items include the big selection of milkshakes with chocolate flavours, strawberry, banana, salted caramel and Biscoff. There's also an option to pick from the 'Speedy Menu' for those needing to get back on the road in a hurry. There's also a children's menu as well as vegan, vegetarian and gluten free options. Inside Popeye's first UK restaurant as we try the menu – and the fried chicken is better than KFC 5 There are four restaurants across the UK Credit: Brightside 5 The diner even has a 'Speedy Menu' for anyone wanting to get back on the road Credit: Instagram The very first restaurant opened back in February 2023 opposite the Exeter racecourse. Across the UK, there are four restaurants, in Honiton, Exeter, Saltash and Ram Jam in Oakham. One visitor to the diner in Saltash wrote: "Thought I'd give this place a try as it's on my way home. Glad I did, the restaurant has cracking retro decor and feel and food was great! Seen somewhere saying it's like Stranger Things, I definitely agree." Another, who had a meal at the Exeter site, added: "Some nice outdoor seating and really cute 1970s style diner done really well." A third visited Honiton and said: "What a great find a fantastic American style roadside diner open all day for breakfast lunch and dinner." These impressive restaurants are ones you will find inside redesigned planes - and there's one in the UK. And Sun Travel reviewed the Mollie's Motel & Diner in Oxfordshire.

‘It is horrendous' – Ally McCoist confesses to epic fail ahead of final day of Rangers legend's charity bike ride
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THERE was time for a couple of awkward moments this morning as Ally McCoist embarked on the last leg of his charity bike ride in honour of the My Name'5 Doddie Foundation. The big hearted Rangers icon and pal Kenny Logan are cycling from Belfast to Dublin to present the match ball for tonight's British and Irish Lions opener against Argentina at the Aviva Stadium in honour of late Scottish and Lions rugby hero Doddie Weir's motor neurone charity. Sign up for the Rangers newsletter Sign up 2 Ally McCoist realises the error of his ways Credit: Instagram @meldeane12 2 McCoist comes to the terrible realisation Credit: Instagram @meldeane12 It's been a great effort from all concerned - despite the minor hiccup of a crash along the way. But one mishap presented itself this morning when a sheepish McCoist was told he had to wear his red cycling jersey for the final stage of the journey. That's because he had omitted to take said item out of his kit bag - meaning it was now rather smelly. In a video for Instagram, the Gers icon told pal Mel Deane: "I've just found out its the red top we're wearing today and that wouldn't normally be a problem. "But the problem is I had my red top on on Monday and I've not done anything with it yet [in terms of getting it washed]. "It is horrendous. Seriously, I'm not even joking! I have to put that on!" It's bean an arduous journey all right for Coisty and co and his cycling shoes aren't much better. In another jokey piece with pal Mel, McCoist holds them up to the camera and says: "I've got news for you. "I've just received an email from the head of the European Cycling Federation. "He's not asking me, he's DEMANDING that these end up in the cycling hall of fame in Paris." Rangers hero Ally McCoist lands massive double bed and tells roommate 'it'll be interesting when Gabby Logan gets here' Deane asks: "Oh will you manage to get your feet into them today?" McCoist replied: "I've no idea - it took me 26 minutes yesterday to get them out." Keep up to date with ALL the latest news and transfers at the Scottish Sun football page
