She joked in the caption: “Raincoat ✅ hat ✅ wellies ✅ … must be June 🫢☔️”
The star seems to be in good spirits despite her latest show, Celebrity Bear Hunt, was axed by Netflix after only one season.
This means for the first time in 20 years Holly doesn’t have an active show on television.
The series saw Holly head to Costa Rica with survival expert Bear Grylls to put 12 celebs through their paces to test their survival skills.
At the end of May, Bear had teased they had big plans for the show going forward while on an appearance on BBC Radio 2.
He said: “God willing, we are bringing Bear Hunt back, nd we’re hoping to do it live so it’s going to be a live version, which Netflix have never done before.
“Raw, real, hunt them down!”
However, just two weeks later it was revealed the streamer had pulled the plug on the service.
The decision not to recommission the heavily backed series comes following a series of last ditch production meetings where various cost-cutting measures were discussed.
A source told The Sun: “Everyone involved with Bear Hunt is absolutely gutted – they loved the format, and it actually hit its targets from the streaming side.
“But the overall cost of travel, insurance and, of course, securing big name talent proved too dear – it was completely untenable even after they looked at filming closer to home, and making more of a budget show.
“It is no slight on Holly or Bear either and execs are now trying to find another formula for them to showcase their talents.
“Naturally it’s a real blow to Holly as it’s the latest show to have time called, but she’s a professional and knows that sometimes this is how it goes.”
However, despite the end of the show, Holly’s team aren’t worried – with the host already working on new projects.
“She’s got a number of other exciting projects in the pipeline.” they said. “That’s showbiz, after all.”
