Holly Willoughby thrills fans as she teases new project after Phillip Schofield's TV return

Holly Willoughby excited fans this week by announcing that she had filmed an upcoming TV project recently, with her having shared a series of photos of herself alongside the news

Presenter Holly Willoughby has teased a new TV project.

Holly, 43, shared a series of photos on Instagram this week from behind-the-scenes at an undisclosed show. She said in the accompanying caption that it was a "night of glorious giggles" and teased she's waiting for its broadcast.

The photos showed Holly modelling a floral black dress that had been paired with tights and platform heels. She was seen perched on a radiator in one photo, whilst another showed her stood beside it whilst backstage at the venue.

Alongside the photos, she told her followers: "I'll be here, warming my [peach emoji] on the radiator until you get to see what we filmed. A night of glorious giggles." The post was set to the Jimi Hendrix Experience's Purple Haze.

It marks Holly's first post on her Instagram grid in over a month. The post has amassed more than 14,000 likes on the platform, with fellow presenters Christine Lampard and Angellica Bell among those who have shown support.

Some fans shared their excitement over the upcoming project in the comments section. One person reacted: "Can't wait." Someone else wrote: "Can't wait to see what show you have filmed. Miss you on the TV." A third fan commented: "Your presence has been missed immeasurably Holly. Good luck with your current projects and ventures." Whilst another follower said similarly: "Cannot wait to see what you've been up to."

The post comes just days after it was reported that Holly had been spotted for the first time since her former presenting partner Phillip Schofield, 62, made his TV return last month. She was seen on holiday with her family recently.

Phillip had worked with Holly on the likes of This Morning, prior to him stepping down from the show in May last year, before resigning from ITV altogether. His resignation coincided with him admitting to having had an "unwise but not illegal" relationship with a younger colleague whilst on This Morning. At the time, he apologised for having previously lied about the situation and in his resignation statement stated that the "consensual on-off relationship" was "now over".

He made his return to TV in Channel 5's Cast Away, which was broadcast last month. Phillip is thought to have made several references to Holly - who is reportedly now known as "the witch" amongst his inner circle - on the series, including mocking comments she made after he left This Morning. Addressing his departure last year, Holly had asked This Morning viewers in a speech: "Firstly, are you OK?" Phillip appeared to take a swipe at her in a scene from Cast Away, telling his family at a BBQ: "If you're okay, then we're okay and I'm okay. Are you okay?"
