Jenni Falconer backs Holly Willoughby’s YouTube venture

“I’m sure it will be absolutely brilliant,” Jenni Falconer says of Holly Willoughby’s new YouTube lifestyle series, Together. Having collaborated with her husband Dan on the project, Willoughby’s return to content creation after a year-long television hiatus is viewed by Falconer as a calculated and inevitable success.

Falconer, who famously stepped into Willoughby’s role on This Morning in 2011, currently balances a demanding schedule that includes hosting the Smooth Radio Breakfast Show and running her podcast, RunPod. While she contemplates launching her own YouTube channel to expand her digital footprint, she remains grounded by the realities of a 32-year career and motherhood. Balancing four hours of live morning radio with family life alongside husband James Midgley and their 14-year-old daughter, Ella Grace, requires a disciplined routine. While her professional life remains expansive—ranging from wellness brand ventures to travel podcasts—Falconer admits her daughter shows little interest in following her into the media spotlight. Instead, the pair focuses on shared physical activities like tennis and Padel, which Falconer now prioritizes alongside a more structured approach to fitness, specifically incorporating strength training into her daily regimen.
