Holly Willoughby forced to make change away from ITV This Morning after she falls ill before return

Holly Willoughby has been forced to make a change away from This Morning after ill health hampered her planned return to the show. The presenter was due back at the helm of the ITV daytime show on Monday (April 17) after a two-week Easter break.

However, her planned return alongside Phillip Schofield was hit by a setback after she fell ill. The 42-year-old was last seen on the programme earlier this month where she was hosting alongside both Alison Hammond and Joel Dommett as Phillip, 61, took an unexpected week off hosting duties.

But in an Instagram post shared by both Holly and This Morning on Sunday (April 16), the mum-of-three confirmed her return had been hit by a setback and that she'd be away for a "few days" - or the whole week - due to being struck down by shingles. She wrote on the distinctive green This Morning logo backdrop: "Hi ...just to let you know I may be away for the rest of the week as I have Shingles," she said with frustrated-face emoji.
