Holly Willoughby’s media company, Roxy Media, owes £377,000 in unpaid taxes, the High Court has heard.

The media production and management firm was once run by the TV presenter and her husband, Dan Baldwin.

The company was issued with a winding-up order earlier this year, according to court filings, which means that His Majesty’s Revenue & Customs (HMRC) could seek to shut down the business over unpaid taxes.

An HMRC spokeswoman previously said: “We take a supportive approach to dealing with customers who have tax debts and only file winding-up petitions once we’ve exhausted all other options, in order to protect taxpayers’ money.”

Ms Willoughby did not attend the short hearing on Wednesday, where Chief Insolvency and Companies Court Judge Briggs approved a 12-week adjournment.

Roxy Media must pay by then the £377,000, which has been reduced from an unknown amount.

In response to a request from HMRC to adjourn the hearing, Judge Briggs said: “OK, that’s fine, you have until July 9.”

The former This Morning host set up the company with her husband to specialise in managing media clients.

She recently paid tribute to another show she presented, Dancing On Ice, after the series was “rested” with “no current plans for another series”, an ITV spokesperson said last month.

Ms Willoughby began presenting the ice skating show in 2006, alongside Phillip Schofield, who resigned from ITV in 2023.
