Holly Willoughby’s husband Dan Baldwin’s TV production company has seen its assets fall by £1.6 million, according to the latest accounts.
Figures for Hungry Bear Media Ltd, acquired by Richard Eden of The Daily Mail, show net worth fell by a staggering £1.6m last year, from £1.83m in 2020 to £256,000.
The company, which Dan founded in 2014, has produced programs including Michael McIntyre’s Big Show, as well as Feel The Fear With Wim Hof, which Willoughby hosted.

Hungry Bear Media Ltd has also reduced the number of employees from 38 to just 20.
A spokesperson declined to comment when contacted by The Daily Mail.
Elsewhere, Holly appears to be continuing her recent “queue” controversy, in which she and This Morning co-host Phillip were accused of skipping the line to see the Queen in state.

The weeks-long fallout from the incident — which sparked hundreds of jokes online at their expense — has sparked rival briefing wars, with relations between the presenters now strained.
Holly was also believed to be unhappy that ITV didn’t step in to support her sooner, and there has been speculation – since denied – that she could be leaving the show.
After being spotted on the official camera feed at the venue, the pair said they were there to shoot a segment for This Morning’s show, which was set to air four days later.
No TV crews were allowed in other than the official feed.

Holly and Phil have not commented on the matter since they issued a statement insisting they “didn’t skip the line.”
Despite calls for the firing of Holly and Phil could lead to Alison and Dermot being given the role of full-time hosts, sources say they have remained loyal.
Phil and Holly are reportedly being paid a whopping £600,000 to host the show during the daytime Monday to Thursday, with Alison and Dermot filling in for Friday’s show.
Insiders this morning think they are now ‘through the worst of the crisis’ but ITV bosses are still taking steps to ensure Phil and Holly get all the support they need.
