Holly Willoughby delighted her fans with an unexpected appearance on Friday’s episode of This Morning. The 42-year-old host returned to the ITV daytime show earlier than expected from her scheduled summer break. During the broadcast, a teaser video showcasing her cameo on Midsomer Murders was revealed.
Remarkably, Holly filmed her scenes for the upcoming Sunday episode of Midsomer Murders two years prior. During that period, she also provided a behind-the-scenes glimpse for This Morning.
In the footage, Holly expressed her excitement about her acting debut, exclaiming, “Dreams really do come true!” The special episode of the detective drama is set at a psychic fair, capturing Holly’s nervous yet enthusiastic demeanor as she allowed cameras to document her day.
Following her hair and makeup session, Holly remarked, “Well, here I am, and the day has finally arrived. Dreams really do come true. You’re witnessing the birth of an acting star, well probably not.” Playfully, she mentioned that her role involves playing herself and jokingly added, “I think I can handle that. I’ve just got a few lines.”
After filming alongside the seasoned cast of Midsomer Murders, Holly shared her thoughts with This Morning’s cameras, saying, “Don’t wanna show off or anything, but I think I nailed it. Don’t wanna peak too soon.”
Holly had a speechless moment in March 2021 when she was unexpectedly informed, live on This Morning, about her guest role on Midsomer Murders.
