She proved to be a hit with fans in the series won by Harry Redknapp.
Holly will next be on TV hosting Dancing On Ice with her pal Stephen Mulhern, starting on Sunday.
It is her first gig after an alleged plot to kidnap her led her to quit This Morning, which she had co-hosted for 14 years with Phillip Schofield.
Holly is gearing up to make her comeback and is weighing up a number of deals.
The source added: “Holly is open to offers. She won’t be rushing into anything and will be carefully cherry-picking her next projects.”
