Holly Willoughby reportedly ‘furious’ after photos of her are used to promote controversial diet pills

It's been reported that the star is considering legal action against the company

Holly Willoughby is reportedly considering legal action after discovering that her old modelling photos have been used to promote controversial weight-loss pills.

An advert for ULTRAPur Wild Raspberry Ketone – a weight-loss supplement – features a picture of the This Morning star in a bikini.

But sources have said Holly, 36, has no link to the pills whatsoever and isn’t happy that her photos are being used.

The company claims Holly has managed to get her incredible figure by using their products.

In a blog post on their website the company said: “Without a doubt, Holly Willoughby looks as fantastic as ever, and Raspberry Ketone was the key.”

But a source apparently close to the star has revealed Holly has nothing to do with the pills.

They told the Mirror: “We’re aware of a number of scam websites using images of Holly, along with other celebrities, to sell weight-loss products and are liaising with our lawyers about possible legal action.”

The mum-of-three has been at the centre of much discussion over her noticeably slimmer figure of late, leaving fans divided over her new look.

The presenter has always kept very quiet about how she achieves her gorgeous bod and has never revealed her diet or fitness regime.

Previously talking about why she doesn’t mention her eating habits and workout routines Holly told Prima Magazine: “I don’t want to encourage eating disorders. I try not to focus too much on my appearance.

“As long as I’m being healthy, that’s good enough for me. I’m quite active and I try not to let the way I look be the main focus because it’s not the important thing.”

“I actually avoid talking about my diet and exercise regime because I have interviewed so many people affected by eating disorders and I know that some people in chat rooms can really fixate on other people’s diets.

“I just can’t contribute to that,” she added.

But earlier this month the star, who is married to Daniel Baldwin, opened up about her changing figure.

She told Lorraine Kelly on her talk show: “My children are a bit older, you get to that point where you have a bit more time to yourself.

“But I think as long as you’re happy and healthy that’s most important.”

And when Lorraine said she hoped Holly hasn’t lost her ‘Willough-boobies’, the star replied: “I think they’re still there, Lorraine.”
