The former This Morning presenter has kept a low profile in recent months, but ahead of her return to screens, she's making the most of the heatwave.The UK is currently embracing its third heatwave in recent months, with temperatures across the country set to enter the 30-degree mark. However, nighttime will be much cooler due to less humidity.While many headed to their local pools and reached for cold drinks, Holly, 45, and Abbey, 40, made the most of their downtime, enjoying ice-cold margaritas in the sunshine. The pair, along with another friend, were seen having the time of their lives as they danced to Madonna's Into The Groove together.Holly looked sensational in a white dress, paired with green-framed sunglasses, as she sipped on her drink. The star kept her signature blonde hair swept back in a waved ponytail, completing her look with a pair of dainty gold hooped earrings.Meanwhile, model Abbey also looked sensational under the blistering sun in a gold mini dress and black sunglasses for the occasion. The Liverpudlian styled her caramel hair in loose natural waves flowing over her shoulders.Captioning her post, Abbey wrote: "When your mates think it's a photo @hollywilloughby @caz1doyley." Meanwhile, Holly is expected to return to screens "within days" as part of a new lifestyle series, set to rival This Morning, which will air on YouTube.The new lifestyle series, which has recently been looking for staff ahead of its launch, will be titled Together. The firm behind the show, Hungry Bear, was recently advertising for a video editor, who would be required to work on "a new online series, producing high-performance, long-form content to be placed on YouTube ".Holly's husband, Dan Baldwin's firm, Hungry Bear Media, are behind the new show. She previously hinted at a return to work in a cryptic social media post. Sharing a snap on Instagram last month, Holly said: "Reunited with my absolute dream team today and my face, hair and outfit have never been more grateful."In her upload, she tagged make-up artist Patsy O'Neill, her stylist Danielle Whiteman, and hairdresser Ciler Perksah. She went on to add: "Nobody does it like the OGs. But honestly? The drive home might have won the day. My not so baby babies are waiting and that's the only call time that really matters."The star has also filed trademark requests for a wide variety of products under the Together brand, indicating that Holly is keen to launch a spin-off, should the series become a success.Holly stepped back from her telly roles with ITV in 2025, after appearing as a guest panellist on You Bet! Her time on This Morning came to an end in October 2023, after a plot to abduct her came to light. Since her departure, she has turned her attention to her lifestyle brand, Wylde Moon, which she launched five years ago.Article continues belowShe later fronted Celebrity Bear Hunt with Bear Grylls, but the Netflix show was scrapped after just one season.Like this story?
