Holly Willoughby snubbed the 2025 BAFTA Television Awards on Sunday night after being left without an ITV show for the first time in 21 years.
The presenter, 44, who usually attends the ceremony, was no where to be seen at London’s Southbank Centre’s Royal Festival Hall.
Holly fronted This Morning alongside Phillip Schofield from 2009 until 2023, and also helmed Dancing On Ice from 2006, until it was axed in March.
There has not yet been any public news of her having signed on to another project with the channel.
Her husband Dan Baldwin however was present at the BAFTA Television Awards, although he was not pictured.
He founded Hungry Bear Media in 2014, and it has become one of the UK’s most successful production companies, making programmes including Michael McIntyre’s Big Show – which was nominated at the event.

Last month, Holly shared a gushing tribute to Dancing On Ice and thanked all who worked on it in the past 19 years – however, she notably failed to mention Phil, whom she hosted the show with for 13 years.
Alongside a plethora of snaps from her time hosting the ITV programme, Holly penned: ‘A huge thank you to @itv, The brilliant team, Crew, Celebrities and Everyone who has been part of our Dancing on Ice family over the last 19 years.
‘Every year, just when January felt at its greyest, Dancing on Ice arrived like a burst of glittering, dazzling light, warm, joyful, and full of heart…
‘It has been an absolute privilege to work alongside true national treasures Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean, and to have a front-row seat to their breathtaking skating. Watching them glide across the ice was nothing less than pure magic…
‘A special thanks must also go to Arnica, Deep Heat, Spanx and fake tan, unsung heroes of the rink! … I will miss it hugely, but I count myself so lucky to have had it for as long as we did. Finally and most importantly, thank you to you for watching, you’re the BEST! …’
While Holly featured a selection of pH๏τos which included her current co-star Stephen Mulhern, as well as judges Torvill and Dean, Oti Mabuse and Ashley Banjo, there were no images of Phillip, 62.
The pair fronted the very first series of the programme in 2006 until 2012, when Holly took a break and was replaced by Christine Lampard.
The series was then rested in 2014 and Holly later returned in 2018 alongside Phillip when the series was revived.

Phillip left ITV in 2023 following the revelation of his ‘unwise but not illegal’ affair with a much younger male colleague, with Stephen then stepping into his shoes.
The former This Morning presenters’ long-standing relationship crumbled in the wake of the affair in addition to Phillip’s brother’s trial for Sєxual offences, with the extent of their bitter feud exposed since Phil made his TV comeback in Channel 5 series Cast Away, in which he referred to Holly as ‘one of the three s***s of showbiz’.
Holly was ITV’s Golden Girl for many years and carved out her place as the fan favourite face of its top shows including This Morning and Dancing On Ice.
However, Holly now appears to be taking her TV career in a new direction as she is now without an ITV show following Dancing On Ice’s axing.
She recently dashed ITV’s hopes that she would be their Saturday night star by turning down a lucrative deal to front game show You Bet!.
ITV sources told the Mail she was ‘busy with other commitments’ after Holly branched out to host Celebrity Bear Hunt in her first big role away from ITV.
It is the first time that Holly has not had an ITV show on her schedule for the first time in more than two decades after becoming the broadcaster’s TV darling.
She has long been a familiar face on both ITV and ITV2, hosting on shows including Surprise Surprise, Celebrity Juice, The Games, The Xtra Factor and I’m A Celebrity.
