Holly Willoughby shares loved-up wedding day pic to celebrate her 12th anniversary
Congratulations Holly and Dan on 12 years of marriage!
TV presenter Holly Willoughby doesn't often post about her private life, however, today is her wedding anniversary, and she has decided to share this loved-up photo from her wedding day. In the grainy black and white photo, Holly and her husband Dan Baldwin, can be seen hugging in front of some steps. Cute!
In less than an hour, the photo has been liked by thousands of well-wishing fans, including many celebrities such as Keith Lemon who said, 'Massive congratulations x'. Another fan commented, '🥂🥂Happy Anniversary 🥂🥂💝💝'.
Although today is their special day, Holly and her husband have actually been celebrating their anniversary for a while. Last month, the happy couple travelled to Lucca in Italy to see Elton John on his 'Farewell Yellow Brick Road' tour.
The lucky TV presenter was serenaded by the 'Rocket Man' singer, who dedicated a song to her and Dan. Holly couldn't contain her excitement, taking to Instagram to post several photos, including one of herself, with her husband Dan Baldwin and Elton John saying, 'What a weekend... huge thank you to @eltonjohn for putting on the most incredible concert in Lucca @luccasummerfestival #LSF19 ... Songs were sung, memories were made and dreams can true when Elton dedicated a song to Dan and I ❤️ thank you @bengibsonphoto for taking this picture! #eltonfarewelltour'. sic
Holly, who is a mother-of-three, continues to be a successful TV presenter. She regularly presents This Morning, alongside her presenting partner Phillip Schofield, however the pair are currently enjoying a break from their presenting duties.
Now take a look at Holly Willoughby's career highlights:
2000: S Club TV
Back when Tina was doing her dance, and Jon was looking for romance, Holly was doing a pretty impressive job as a stand in member of S Club 7 for their TV movie S Club 7: Artistic Differences. In the children's comedy, the band split when artistic differences tore them apart (Paul heading off to start a rival band, Rachel leaving to get married) – but Holly helped keep the peace as a character named Zoe.
2004: Holly & Stephen’s Saturday Showdown AKA Ministry of Mayhem
Originally called Ministry of Mayhem, Holly and Stephen's Saturday Showdown was a mad cap CiTV game show that saw the show hosts camp it up as housemates that welcomed boys and girls teams in to their living room for an assortment of competitions.
It is also the setting where Holly met her future husband, Dan Baldwin (they tied the knot in 2007 and have three children), and gave co-host Stephen Mulhern a platform to show off his magic skills. Fancy!
2005: CD:UK
Now we're not saying Cat Deeley can be replaced... but Holly was a pretty great successor to the fellow 40-year-old TV host. Holly helped many a hungover adult get through Saturday morning's by presenting the children's music chart show.
2006: Dancing on Ice
A glimpse of what was to come – Holly was paired with hosting icon Philip Schofield on the ice skating dance show that saw celebrities compete on skates under the tutelage of Olympic legends Torvill and Dean. Holly and Phil's warm chemistry was a hit with fan – pulling in over 12 million viewers at the show's peak.
2008: Xtra Factor
After Fearne Cotton but before Konnie Huq, Holly hosted The X Factor spin off show the year that music fans were thrilled by the likes of Alexandra Burke, JLS and Diana Vickers. The star arguably co-hosted with her first son, Harry, as she was pregnant with him while the show aired in 2008 – with her first baby arriving in May the following year. She returned to host again for series six – which was when Joe McElderry won.
2009: Celebrity Juice
The mad cap mayhem of presenting children's television shows was probably a good training ground for Holly to deal with the juvenile antics of Keith Lemon (aka Avid Merrion). Holly serves as a team captain on the bonkers late night game show with best friend Fearne Cotton championing her opposing team. The trio were a hit with viewers, until Fearne announced her departure from the show in December 2018.
2009: This Morning
As well as delighting late night viewers, 2009 saw Holly enter the weekday TV format as she started hosting This Morning with Philip Schofield after the departure of Fern Britton. Fans of the pair have seen their friendship blossom on-screen as they still present together to this day – and have helped the magazine entertainment show scoop NTA, TRIC, TV Choice, and Freesat Awards along the way.
2012: The Voice UK
Holly and Reggie Yates were the face of The Voice when it first launched in the UK on the BBC back in 2012. The duo held the show together for the first two years and worked alongside show coaches Sir Tom Jones, will.i.am, Jessie J and Danny O'Donoghue as they found champions Leanne Mitchell in 2012 and Andrea Begley in 2013.
2012: Surprise Surprise
When the long-running show was resurrected in 2012, Holly seemed like the natural choice to fill the shoes of Cilla Black. With her approachable demeanour and warm personality, Holly shone as she fronts the light entertainment show as members of the public have dreams made true.
2016: Meet the Parents
Proving herself as one of the hardest working women in showbiz, Holly doesn't slow down when the weekend arrives despite hosting This Morning four days per week. The hostess has most recently been helping singletons find love on the ITV dating show that sees parents vet prospective dates for their children.
2018: Coronation Street
In 2018, Holly had a cameo in beloved ITV soap Coronation Street, along with her co-host Phillip Schofield. The pair interviewed the characters of Rosie Webster, Craig Tinker and Gemma Winter as part of Rosie's exit storyline.
2018: I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!
When Ant McPartlin announced he would be stepping down from all TV duties to focus on his addiction recovery, Holly was the first choice by Declan Donnelly to replace him. She was a HUGE hit with viewers - and many even called for her to have a full-time role on the show in the future.
2019-2023: Dancing On Ice
As well as presenting This Morning Monday-Thursday with Phillip Schofield, Holly also returned to the ice when Dancing On Ice made a comeback in 2019. Both Holly and Phillip then returned for the 2020 series, which ended in March. The pair also presented the series in 2021, 2022 and 2023.
2021: Reflections

She also said: 'In creating WYLDE MOON for you, I've filled a need in me. I'd lost a part of who I was and that rediscovery has led me here, to a whole new place of beauty and power'.
2022: (borrowed from) The Wild perfume
