Holly Willoughby no longer has enough time to devote to their homewear and accessories brand Truly
Holly Willoughby has left Dragons’ Den star Peter Jones fuming by pulling out of their lucrative lifestyle brand business at the last minute – to focus on her own new bumper contracts with Marks & Spencer and ITV.
Sources say Jones was ‘furious’ when TV’s golden girl admitted during a tense meeting on Tuesday at the headquarters of his business empire in Marlow, Buckinghamshire, that her new deals – worth up to £1.5 million – meant she no longer had enough time to devote to their homewear and accessories brand Truly.
The business had been likened to Gwyneth Paltrow’s Goop brand and was tipped to double Willoughby’s estimated £11 million fortune.
As Willoughby, 37, took to Instagram to announce she was leaving Truly, Jones jetted out of Britain to head for one of his holiday homes.
A source said: ‘Truly was by far the top of Holly’s priorities. It was going to be her long-term future that would see her through the next couple of decades.
‘Her decision to pull out left everyone involved absolutely stunned. Nobody could believe what was happening on Tuesday, it was so close to the launch.
‘There is a warehouse full of goods at the Marlow HQ which are ready to be sold.’
Experts believe the departure of the This Morning presenter, who is among Britain’s most bankable stars, could cost the firm millions due to hefty investment in products ranging from cushions and candles to clothing and homewear, and the potential for further delays to its launch.
And it could mean the end of a long friendship. Mother-of-three Willoughby and husband Dan Baldwin have been close to Jones and his wife Tara Capp for ten years.

Willoughby set up Truly with Capp in 2016 and Jones, 52, joined as chairman in March.
The couples holiday together and Jones has a 40 per cent stake in Baldwin’s TV production firm.
Willoughby is to become a brand ambassador for M&S and will replace Ant McPartlin as host of ITV’s I’m A Celebrity.
A source close to Jones said last night ‘We wouldn’t comment on his business affairs.’

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
