Holly Willoughby 'missing' from This Morning as fans say 'what a surprise' after being spotted jumping on helicopter to Glastonbury

Holly Willoughby has left This Morning for a two-month holiday after a short goodbye message at the end of the show last week. The presenter, who used to appear alongside Phillip Schofield on the daytime TV show, usually takes an extended break over the summer each year.

Holly Willoughby was told that she 'needs to relax' by co-host Craig Doyle as they were reunited on-screen. The pair were brought back together as they hosted Monday's edition (July 3) of This Morning.

Despite already being an established presenter, Craig Doyle's first appearance on This Morning last year came as a surprise to viewers. But now, more than a year later, fans are regularly calling for him to be a permanent host on the show, particularly since the sudden exit of Phillip Schofield.

Holly Willoughby appeared to show her support for her co-star and pal Alison Hammond as she was flooded with comments and dubbed a 'Barbie girl'. During her latest appearance on This Morning, the presenter appeared inspired by one of the show's latest segments.

We can’t quite imagine a time when we didn’t eagerly anticipate what Holly Willoughby would be wearing each day to host This Morning. However, since she started sharing her outfit details over on Instagram each day, fans have been eagerly anticipating her daily posts to find out where they can their hands on her latest look.This time around, it’s her floral midi dress that fans can’t stop gushing over, as Holly donned the green printed dress from Boden for Wednesday's show.

It's been all change on the This Morning sofa since Phillip Schofield's exit, and now viewers have been left wondering what has happened to Holly Willoughby when she was absent from today's show. Holly has stuck around as the main host of the ITV daytime show after former co-star Phil left and has been joined by a succession of guest presenters over the last few weeks with no permanent replacement announced.

This Morning viewers found themselves overcome with emotion just seconds before the last episode of the week came to an end. Alison Hammond and Dermot O'Leary were reunited again on Friday (June 23) for their usual stint at the helm of the ITV daytime show.

Former This Morning co-host Phillip Schofield has stepped out in Cornwall for the first time in weeks, following him admitting to having an affair with a co-worker. And analysis of the pictures by a body language expert has resulted in claims the presenter is a “changed man”.

This Morning viewers were still left stunned when a detail about Dermot O'Leary was once again mentioned on the show. The presenter was back at the helm of the ITV daytime show on Thursday (June 22) alongside Holly Willoughby as they wound up a two-week stint hosting together.

Gino D'Acampo's hilariously awkward return to This Morning has left viewers speculating about what his aubergine comments really meant. Outspoken chef Gino, a regular on the ITV daytime show, was back in the studio's kitchen on Tuesday after a break and couldn't resist a cheeky dig at the recent controversy surrounding former host Phillip Schofield. But fans think he made another, less obvious, comment on the events which saw Phil quit after 21 years as presenter.

But during his return this week, the mischievous chef made a subtle dig at Phillip Schofield's departure from the programme last month, which was dogged with controversy when Phillip admitted to previously having an "unwise but not illegal" affair with a much younger male colleague.

This Morning viewers were quick to comment as Gino D'Acampo appeared to push his latest appearance right to the edge by quizzing a squirming Holly Willoughby live on air. Holly had earlier shared her excitement at having the Italian chef back on the programme after months away.

Dermot O'Leary has been flooded with messages from fans who have made their feelings clear about his future position on This Morning. The presenter returned for another week at the helm of the ITV daytime show alongside Holly Willoughby on Monday (June 19).

This Morning fans have been left 'uncomfortable' over Ruth Langsford and Holly Willoughby's latest exchange, after an 'awkward' segment on the show today. Ruth, 63, who's husband Eamonn Holmes, 62, has been publicly bashing Holly, 42, and her former co-host Phillip Schofield, 61, was anchoring Monday's Loose Women, which runs straight after This Morning. As normal, This Morning cut to Loose Women, where viewers find out what the Loose Women panel will be talking about on that day's show.
