Holly Willoughby has debuted an edgy new style, much to the delight of her fans. The former This Morning presenter, 44, took to Instagram on Thursday, revealing her fresh look which featured a wavy hairdo and a bold pair of glasses.
The mother-of-three shared a car selfie while humorously referring to her newfound role as her children's 'personal party driver'. Holly captioned the image: "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 and husband Dan Baldwin have three children together, a 16-year-old son Harry, 12-year-old daughter Belle, and nine-year-old Chester. Now Harry has finished his GCSEs, it seems Holly is embracing her duty ferrying him around, reports the Mirror.
As soon as Holly posted her updated look, her followers gathered in the comments section to praise her natural wavy locks, with one fan saying: "Gorgeous. You look so pretty and the glasses really suit you."
Another admirer added: "Wow! ! ! Holly you have never looked better."

This update arrives amidst reports about Holly's professional future lacking confirmed TV engagements. Although she's been a regular fixture on television for many years, currently there appear to be no set plans for her viewers to anticipate.
The television personality finds herself in an unusual position, without a lined-up programme for the first time in 21 years. This follows the conclusion of her regular stint on Dancing On Ice, which has been cancelled.

Holly's other presenting role on Bear Hunt with Bear Grylls won't be returning either, as it too has been axed. She has also decided to step down from You Bet!, leaving Stephen Mulhern to host the show solo.
There are rumours that Holly's husband, Dan Baldwin, is working on a revival of Record Breakers, potentially offering Holly a new presenting opportunity. A source told The Sun that it would make "perfect sense" for Holly to be considered for the role.
They stated: "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 has also been mentioned among potential hosts for a reboot of Cilla Black's Blind Date, with Claudia Winkleman and Davina McCall also in the running. Another project Holly is being considered for is a new Channel 4 programme aimed at discovering fresh singing talent.
Holly made her return to television last year after an 18-month hiatus.
Reports suggest that ITV is eager to retain Holly, following recent discussions with Katie Rawcliffe, director of entertainment and daytime, about future opportunities.
An insider 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.
"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 meeting happened to coincide with the broadcast of a documentary about Holly's kidnapping.

Holly opted out of involvement in Channel 5's documentary, The Plot To Kill Holly Willoughby, which chronicled the disturbing plan by an obsessed security guard named Gavin Plumb to kidnap, sexually assault and murder her.
It was this harrowing ordeal that prompted her to step back from her presenting duties on ITV1's This Morning and to temporarily withdraw from television.

Meghan launches new jams and £20 orange blossom honey in website restock
Meghan had promised some 'delicious surprises' as she teased, earlier this week, that she would be offering some new products on her As Ever site. Also available are an apricot spread in 'keepsake packaging' and a crepe mix, both £10 each, flower sprinkles for £11 and a range of herbal teas at £9 each. In an Instagram post at the same time as the new products went live, the California-based duchess wrote: 'Yummies, and honeys, and fruit spreads, oh my!' Meghan previously said the April launch of her As Ever products, including jam and herbal tea, had been 'absolutely extraordinary'. But she also spoke of her fear that she annoyed customers when the first batch of her jam and herbal teas sold out in less than an hour. She said wanted to wait until it is 'completely stable and we have everything we need'. In the run-up to her re-stock, Meghan shared a photo of jam-making preparations including bowls of strawberries, raspberries and blueberries, and freshly squeezed lemons, on her Instagram stories, writing: ''June gloom?' Not over here! Because this month your favourite products are back.' Her official As Ever account also posted: 'To all who've been wondering and waiting, thank you! 'Your favourites are returning, plus a few NEW things we can't wait to show you. Coming this month … get excited!'

Love Island star's girlfriend accidentally reveals they had their first date BEFORE he split with All Stars ex
The star's ex previously addressed their relationship ending love drama Love Island star's girlfriend accidentally reveals they had their first date BEFORE he split with All Stars ex Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A LOVE Island star's girlfriend accidentally revealed their first date took place BEFORE he'd split from his All Stars ex. Viewers were first introduced to Callum Jones in series six, which aired in 2020. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 4 Callum Jones' girlfriend Myna Amor shared an insight into when their first date took place Credit: PA 4 Myna shared these snaps to her Instagram story Credit: Instagram 4 Callum and Jess Gale were coupled up in All Stars Credit: Rex The 28-year-old returned for All Stars last year and placed runner-up alongside Jess Gale. Although Callum entered the All Stars villa on Day 1, Jess arrived on Day 22. Following their split after the final, Callum confirmed his new romance with stunning model Myna Amor. Posting on her Instagram story, Myna has seemingly revealed she and Callum had their first date before he'd split from Jess. A fan had asked her: "How long has it been since you and Callum have dated?" Myna replied, sharing snaps of the pair to her followers: "We met last year in March. "I find it crazy that these photos were taken on our first date." However, Callum and Jess themselves parted ways in late March 2024 - having reached the All Stars final that February. The Sun has approached Callum's reps for comment. Last July, Myna broke her silence on her and Callum's relationship while they attended the Magnum Pleasure Pass party in London. Love Island Star Callum Jones' New Romance Unveiled She exclusively revealed: 'It's been really hard to keep their relationship under wraps for such a long time – it's been just over 5 months. 'It's been so crazy seeing everyone online try and guess who Callum is in a relationship with, knowing it's been me the whole time." Speaking exclusively to The Sun at the time of their break-up, Jess said she was left hurt by Callum after finding out something prior to their split. She said the incident happened around the time of Molly Smith's party to celebrate a lucrative new clothing deal. Jess told The Sun: "It didn't fizzle out, things happened and there was this thing at Molly [Smith's] clothing event. "I found out something prior to the event and something that you can't really come back from. "We don't speak now and I guess a line has been drawn under that. "After certain bits of information came to light, I wouldn't want to speak to Callum and after that, it was done.' Love Island continues on ITV2 and ITVX.
