Are we really surprised that Holly Willoughby has decided to walk away from This Morning? Her departure from the ITV show is being hailed as a ‘shock exit’ — but, from where I’m standing, it’s really anything but.
Last week, Essex security guard, Gavin Plumb, was charged with soliciting to commit murder and incitement to kidnap Willoughby. Although she didn’t mention the plot in the Instagram post announcing her exit - saying instead that she was making the decision “for me and my family” - the subtext is pretty clear. Who’d want to stick around after that?
