Holly Willoughby YouTube lifestyle series

Entities: Dan Baldwin · Stanley Tucci · Hungry Bear Media · Voy · Holly Willoughby

Overview

Holly Willoughby’s self‑financed YouTube lifestyle channel "Together" launched on 28 July 2026, delivering two episodes per week and produced by Hungry Bear Media, the firm run by her husband Dan Baldwin. The debut 50‑minute episode featured Stanley Tucci preparing a courgette‑pasta dish and included product placement for a £799 GreenPan cookware set, as well as sponsorship from the weight‑loss brand Voy.

Critical response remained mixed but leaned negative: The Telegraph awarded one star, The Times two, while The Guardian and The Mirror gave three each, citing the long runtime, forced profanity, and an uneasy host‑guest dynamic. Audience figures were modest; within the first 24 hours the video attracted roughly 41,000 views and 11,000 new subscribers, with daily view counts hovering around 35,000.

Willoughby highlighted a light‑hearted moment on BBC Radio 2, noting her teenage daughter’s amused reaction to a typical YouTube call‑to‑action. Analysts continue to watch the series’ commercial and creative viability as it navigates audience‑migration challenges and mixed critical feedback.
