Holly Willoughby’s venture into the world of YouTube has been being labeled an ’empty gush fest’ and ‘dire’ with an air of fakery.
The former This Morning host’s first YouTube show Together is branded an epic fail as she fails to impress with A-list guest Stanley Tucci thanks to swearing and unsubtle innuendo with first guest, The Devil Wears Prada star Stanley Tucci, 65.
Last March, Meghan launched a Netflix lifestyle series, which was blasted, leading to The Guardian branding Holly’s show ‘a marginally less agonising With Love, Meghan’ while The Telegraph stated: ‘[Holly’s] dire show makes Meghan look good.’
On the episode, she joins Stanley in making a pasta dish – which led to The Telegraph’s Anita Singh stating: ‘They are so stuck for conversation that they end up reading out the ingredients list of a Fray Bentos steak and kidney pie.’
After a beer and wine, Stanley kicked off a cookery session by handing Holly a coloured courgette, which led to the star stating: ‘I’ve never seen one like this before’ – in a very unsubtle innuendo, similar to her This Morning slip-ups.
A shocking one star review came from The Telegraph, who referenced Meghan’s Netflix show With Love, Meghan.
She writes: ‘Holly Willoughby’s dire YouTube show makes Meghan look good… Not even Stanley Tucci can redeem this 50-minute borefest of awkward small talk, forced swearing and pie tin trivia…
‘Even Meghan’s producers had the good sense to keep changing things up, editing her so she whizzed from rainbow fruit platters to flower arranging to holding guests hostage while potato printing.’
Alongside a three star review, The Mirror complains: ‘The result is a 50 minute show to cook a simple dish which might have worked better as say a tighter 30-40 minute episode in my opinion…’
Some said her show ‘has right ingredients but they aren’t used correctly’.
