Alison Hammond is to be on today's This Morning instead of regular host Phillip Schofield.
Last night, silver fox Phillip, 59, confirmed he tested positive for Covid and was being forced to self-isolate.
Posting the results of his lateral flow test on Instagram, he penned: "Well b******s.
The host added: "Currently just a slightly sore throat ".
And in light of Phillip being struck down with the bug, ITV has confirmed to Mirror that telly favourite Alison, 46, will be bringing her fun-loving personality to the magazine show sofa while Phillip holes up at home.
It is yet to be revealed if Alison - who usually presents the series on Friday's with Dermot O'Leary - will be at the helm of the show with Rochelle Humes - who has been standing in for Holly Willoughby in recent weeks - or if Holly will be back.
Holly is currently absent from This Morning - so she can present Wim Hof’s Superstar Survival alongside comedian Lee Mack.
She was expected to come back on Monday but did not.
Phillip's positive Covid result comes after he was pictured out with his family over the weekend.
The former West-End sensation bravely came out in 2020 admitting that after 27 years of marriage he had realised he was gay but has remained married to Stephanie Lowe.
Steph and Phil shares grown-up daughters Ruby and Molly and love to socialise as a group.
The family stepped out to celebrate Ruby's 26th birthday over the weekend, with them dining at Circo Populaire before heading to Soho House prior to strolling around London's West End before entering the Sondheim Theatre to watch Les Miserables.
Phillip and Steph have remained close and are often spotted at high-profile events together since Phil came out.
He told The Mirror in October last year that there were no plans for them to divorce.
He said: "We're picking our way through. It's a work in progress.
"I'm still married to Steph. With divorce... we've not discussed that at all."

Phillip wrote an autobiography where he was open about coming out and the situation with his family.
He hit out at suggestions that he'd lied to Steph by marrying her as he said: "I didn’t know I was gay when I married Steph. If I had, I wouldn’t have got married."
He added: "When things got really dark, [Steph] reminded me how much they all loved me and that there was nothing that the four of us couldn’t cope with."
