HOLLY Willoughby has triumphed in a planning row to extend her new £8million pad with a gym and cinema room.

The Dancing On Ice presenter, 43, has been given the green light to add the leisure facilities to the new home in the South East which she shares with husband Dan Baldwin, 50, and their three kids.

Back in November, The Sun exclusively told how former This Morning anchor Holly had plans to renovate her fresh mansion after she moved out of her former £3million London abode.

She re-located from their former home in the capital and has upped sticks to a new luxury property where security has been bolstered.

The couple bought the six-bed in July – with The Sun exclusively revealing at the time they did not need a mortgage, as they paid in cash.

Land Registry documents for new purchases in the South East showed they bought it during the summer, but mention no charge from lenders.

Yet recent planning documents detailed the broadcaster’s desire to create an extension and link an outbuilding to the main home.

But there was a slight sticking point when Holly needed to apply for planning permission to add more space to the six-bed pad.

MailOnline claims they were forced to tweak their ambitions after they were deemed not in keeping with the building’s “heritage.”

After revising the details, and adjusting the outbuilding to one storey not two, officials have now given the ITV star the thumbs-up for the work.

Holly often keeps her home life secret, covering the faces of her kids Belle, Chester and Beau on social media snaps.

Holly also shared a look at her huge open-plan dining area as well as massive bed with a stylish nude headboard.

ALL CHANGE

It was initially thought that Holly and Dan were relocating to the countryside.

Yet The Sun on Sunday then revealed that the couple have decided to stay in the South East.

A source said: “It’s a fresh start after a challenging year and an opportunity to put all memories of the nightmare behind her.

“The house is currently undergoing building work so it will be like new and perfect for their needs.”

Holly ended her 14-year stint on ITV’s This Morning in October 2023.

As well as Dancing On Ice, which kicked off last weekend, Holly will return to screens this year as host of Netflix competition show Celebrity Bear Hunt, also featuring Bear Grylls.

As well as her TV work, Holly runs lifestyle company Wylde Moon, while hubby Dan has a lucrative BBC deal to make the revamped Gladiators.
