Holly Willoughby and her husband Dan Baldwin are reportedly facing their "toughest test yet as a couple" following her shocking exit from This Morning after 14 years of presenting the flagship breakfast programme on ITV.
The 42-year-old put out a public statement last week confirming her "difficult" decision as the mum-of-three admitted it was time to put herself and family first as she made the choice to bid farewell as long-running host of the show.
TV producer Dan, who tied the knot with Holly back in 2007, is said to have been her "saviour" following a tough few months for the ITV presenter following her former close pal Phillip Schofield's sensational exit from the programme earlier this year.
A source close to Holly has now revealed she is hoping her decision to step back from This Morning will allow her to focus on her marriage, despite concerns it could be the "toughest test" the couple has ever faced together.
Speaking to OK! magazine, they said: "Holly has been to hell and back over the last 12 months, and she has come extremely close to breaking point in recent weeks. But Dan has been her saviour throughout all the emotional turmoil and the Phillip Schofield backlash she’s faced this year."
They added: "Neither of them could have predicted the events of the last few months. Phillip’s scandal and Holly’s subsequent decline in popularity shook them both as individuals. Holly’s confidence was knocked and Dan struggled to see her feeling down. Now that Holly has stepped back from a career she adores, they’ll face their toughest test yet as a couple."
