HOLLY Willoughby is furious after learning her pictu picture is being used to promote controv controvers­ial diet pills. An advert forfo ULTRAPur Wild Raspberry Ket Ketone – a weight loss supplement – features a picture of the star i in a bikini. A blog postp linking to the product al also states: “Without a doubt, Ho Holly Willoughby looks as fantas fantastic as ever, and ULTRApu ULTRApur Wild Raspberry Ketone was the key.” But sources close to the This M Morning host insist she h has no link to the pills. A spo spokesman said: “We’re aware of a number of scam websites usi using images of Holly, along with o other celebritie­s, to sell weight loss products and are liaising with our lawyers about possible leg legal action.” The once curvaceous star, 36, has become noticeably slimmer over recent months, with fans divided ove over the new look.

Shock

But Holly looked stunning as she showed off her toned figure in a rainbow dress on ITV’s The Jonathan Ro Ross Show on Friday. One mum mum, Louise Hart, 40, saw the raspber raspberry ketone ad and hoped the s supplement would get her in to similar shape. She paid £2.50 for a trial supply but w was shocked when four payme payments totalling £300 were taken from her bank account sho shortly afterwards. Louise, fr from Gloucester­shire, said: “Holly looks amazing. “She’s a w working mum with three childr children like me so I can really relate to her. I wanted to lose some we weight. “But I ende ended up being scammed and losing out on £300. I never received anyt anything. I’ve tried to get in contact to demandd a refund but to no avail. N Now I feel silly.” Raspberry ketone is a natural substance th that gives raspberrie­s their powerf powerful aroma. It is sold online and in health food shops. Holly, who prefers not to speak about her diet or ex exercise, was revealed this month as the ne new face of a Diet Coke advertisin­g ca campaign. GRIPPING TV drama Doctor Foster’s days seem numbered, its top stars have revealed.

On Tuesday millions of fans will switch on to the nail-biting finale of series two.

Scorned Gemma Foster, played by Suranne Jones, looks as if she is about to run down her devious, cheating ex-husband Simon in a car.

But in a drama with so many twists and turns, nothing is certain. Yet it is likely there will be no series three.

Suranne, 39, told yesterday’s Graham Norton’s Radio 2 show: “Tuesday could end this thing totally. I’m busy next year in a play and then I go off with Sally Wainwright to the Yorkshire Moors for Gentleman Jack. I’m not available until January 2019. If people are still interested in 2019, then who knows?”

Sara Stewart, 51, who plays Susie Parks, said: “I haven’t agreed to be available for any more and I’m not aware of any plans for a third.”

And show writer Mike Bartlett teased: “Depending on what happens at the end of series two, a third might not be possible… that’s all I can say really.”

Last week 5.8million people watched the dark drama unfold and Sara fully understand­s its appeal. She said: “I’m as gripped as everybody else, and I find it disturbing. Watching it, you could get a bit disillusio­ned about relationsh­ips.

“The only happy couple in Doctor Foster is my character Susie and her husband Chris, played by Neil Stuke. Everyone else seems to be crumbling around them.

Thriller

“People I know who are watching it say that Gemma is insane. She is certainly intense, to put it mildly. But these days all too often you read and hear about people who kill their spouse and then themselves.” But Sara is not about to reveal what happens in the series final episode. She joked: “I can’t tell you because, if I did, I’d then have to kill you.” She revealed that before filming, the cast were sent polite emails asking them not to disclose the plot. She said: “After being an actress for 30 years I know better than to chat about plotlines as I want audiences to get maximum joy from the ride.” Sara, who was in TV series such as The Night Manager, Monarch Of The Glen and Mr Selfridge, said Doctor Foster was on a different level to anything she’s done before in terms of audience reaction. She said: “The first series had the highest ratings of any drama, won a National Television Award, and got great reviews. It’s gripped the nation, and it’s exciting to be part of something that’s so enjoyed. “Everybody could relate to it – everybody’s thought things like, ‘Shall I look through my partner’s phone?’ and most people have cheated or been cheated on. I can’t think of any drama that’s addressed those issues in such a gripping way as Doctor Foster. It’s a psychologi­cal thriller in a domestic setting.”
