Marcus O’Donovan 25 years after disappearing from TV – Reveals Sh0cking Reason WHY he didn’t stay alongside Holly Willoughby as a star Duo back in 2000–2001?
A former TV presenter looked barely recognisable in a recent appearance – 25 years after hosting a show alongside Holly Willoughby.
Marcus O’Donovan, 42, presented kids’ show S Club TV alongside Holly back in the early days of their careers.
The children programme was quite short-lived and only aired between 2000 and 2001, where they were joined by familiar faces such as Ben Barnes and Amy Garcia.
Decades later from his last TV appearance, Marcus now runs his own sparking water company named CO2 You.
According to the former star’s Linkedin page, it appears he owned snack company HUSK from 2011 until 2024.
Marcus previously opened up in a candid interview about his interest and passion for food – leading him worlds away from his initial TV path.

‘WORK FOR SOMEBODY IN THE INDUSTRY FIRST! I regret not getting that level of experience,’ he told About Time Magazine.
‘Ask around for honest feedback on your idea.
‘The hardest thing in the food industry isn’t making a great product or branding it well, it’s getting your product to market and understanding logistics and manufacturing. There is a lot to learn.
‘It can be very lonely and you may need a lot of funding.
‘Reach out to me if you’re just starting, I’m always happy to give someone 15 minutes on the phone.’
Elsewhere recently, Holly enjoyed the final day of Glastonbury 2025 as she rocked a bohemian-inspired look at the festival.
The mum-of-three stunned as she enjoyed the star-studded lineup, which included the legendary Sir Rod Stewart.
Holly was spotted alongside her TV executive husband Dan Baldwin as they enjoyed a child-free weekend together on Worthy Farm.

The former This Morning touched down on the Worthy Farm site by helicopter to join more than 200,000 music fans.
But residents of neighbouring Pilton in Somerset were furious at the number of choppers ferrying A-listers over their farms, as one told the Mail at the time: ‘We’ve never seen this many coming into the festival – it’s insane.’
Setting off from London’s Battersea heliport, Holly flew for 50 minutes and was at the festival by 1.30pm.
Helicopter firm Air Charter – which sells return tickets for £13,950 – reckons it saves its celebrity customers up to eight hours per journey compared with driving.
Beaming in the festival’s VIP section, the former This Morning host sported a £365 pair of tan Grenson boots from her own line and a £158 blouse from Free People over a white dress and belt, with a Stetson hat.
She has previously stayed at the five-star Babington House hotel while attending the event, which is a half-hour drive from the site, and gets a taxi in each day.
