Overview
- The second episode of Together, released in late July, featured Willoughby telling guest Katherine Ryan she was "jealous" of Ryan's pregnancy and that she "wished" she had had another baby.
- Willoughby used the interview to say she is "terrified" of voicing opinions and compared cancel culture to "a really horrendous game of pass the parcel," expressing fear of online backlash.
- The series is produced by Hungry Bear Media, the production company run by Willoughby's husband, and represents her move away from mainstream daytime TV after leaving This Morning in October 2023 following a reported kidnapping plot.
- Tabloid outlets reported early audience figures for the first episode ranging from about 41,000 to 47,000 views on launch day, figures that remain provisional and have driven much of the early coverage.
- Critical response is mixed as the show establishes itself, and the candid format could reshape Willoughby's public image while testing whether viewers follow her to a self-controlled online platform.
