'I just want to pause everything': Holly hints at taking a break from TV

The This Morning presenter has renegotiated her contract.

Holly Willoughby has landed herself a huge pay increase thanks to a little thing called pay equality.

The 36-year-old has added £200,000 to her pay cheque, so she now equals the salary of her co-host, Phillip Schofield.

Yes, the popular pair are reportedly set to pocket £600,000 on This Morning alone.

Holly and Phillip are also expected to take home £200,000 each when Dancing On Ice returns to ITV later this year.

“It seemed ridiculous they were going to get paid the same fee for Dancing on Ice but Holly was lagging behind on This Morning,” a source told The Daily Record.

“Quite rightly, that has now been rectified and they both earn exactly the same.”

This all comes after heightened criticism of BBC for their pay disparities.
