The 47 – year-old This Morning presenter has been a team captain on Keith Lemon’s raunchy late night quiz show for years – but has called time on her involvement on the show in order to spend more time with her family.
Holly has three young children with her – year-old producer husband Dan Baldwin , while a string of lockdown special episodes of the madcap quiz show are due to be the last to feature the blonde beauty.
Taking part on the raunchy show has allowed Holly – who is m um to – year-old son Harry, eight-year-old daughter Belle, and five-year-old Chester – to show off a wilder side compared to her mild mannered daytime talkshow hostess role.
But now Holly is hanging up her captain’s hat – two years after fellow original captain Fearne Cotton quit the show in .
A show source told The Sun on Sunday: “Holly has absolutely loved her time on the show – it’s been a huge part of her life, and has really helped to expand her fanbase over the years.
“But she feels now is the right time to bow out and wants to free up a bit more of her busy schedule to spend with her family.”

They added: “She’s still the best of pals with Leigh Francis and will continue to support the series.”
Keith paid tribute to Holly with an f-bomb video clip that he shared on just hours before news of her quitting his show broke.

He added:” The one and only @hollywilloughby face of an angel but can have the potty mouth of … well me I guess .
