Holly Willoughby has responded to the criticism surrounding her new YouTube series Together, thanking viewers for sharing their honest opinions about the show.
The former This Morning presenter launched Together last month, but the programme has received a mixed response, with some critics questioning its format and comparing it to Meghan Markle’s lifestyle series With Love.
Despite the criticism, Willoughby appears keen to hear directly from her audience and has encouraged viewers to continue sharing their views.
Holly Willoughby welcomes honest feedback
In an Instagram video posted on Wednesday, Willoughby spoke to her followers while getting ready to meet friends for lunch.
She also joked about an unusual moment from the latest episode of Together, which featured her making sausages from scratch.
“Thanks for all your feedback as well, because it’s really great hearing what you think, and what you like, and what you don’t like,” she said.
Willoughby added that negative opinions were just as important as positive ones and encouraged her audience to “keep it coming”.
Her comments came a day after the latest episode of Together was released.

What’s next for Holly Willoughby?
The response to Together comes as Willoughby is reportedly exploring further television opportunities.
According to reports, she is working on a potential new Disney+ programme focusing on high-profile women.
Willoughby has experienced significant changes in her television career in recent years. Her long-running association with This Morning came to an end in 2023, while Dancing On Ice, which she previously hosted, was cancelled in 2025.
Her Netflix reality series Celebrity Bear Hunt was also dropped last year.
For now, Together represents her latest attempt to build a new platform and connect with audiences outside traditional television.
While the programme has attracted criticism, Willoughby’s decision to openly acknowledge negative feedback indicates that she is willing to listen to viewers and potentially use their responses as the series progresses.
