Holly Willoughby has returned to Instagram after the Phillip Schofield drama which exploded last weekend. The star hasn't posted to her own Instagram profile since May 18, her co-presenter's last day onscreen.
But today (Friday) the 42-year-old star has popped up on her lifestyle brand page, Wylde Moon. In the post she shares a recipe for kedgeree, which isn't exactly the statement that fans have been waiting for.
There has been a lot of gossip since last week on ITV's This Morning. It was announced by ITV on Saturday (May 20) that after 20 years fronting the daytime show, veteran presenter Schofield had made the decision to 'step back' from This Morning.

During the turbulent week, rumours were rife that he and co-host Holly were 'barely speaking' behind the scenes. Holly's last post to her 8.3 million followers on her official account had been of her in a blue and white floral print Marks and Spencers dress.
Until today, when shortly after 4pm, she popped up on the Wylde Moon feed. Touted as "lifestyle and guidance to help you reconnect with yourself", Wylde Moon features product guides, positive mantras and recipes among its posts.
The image shared today shows a widely-smiling Holly with a platter of the haddock and rice dish. She's dressed casually in jeans and a beige knit sweater and there are no signs of when the picture was taken.
The caption reads: "Fancy joining Holly and trying @Clodagh_McKenna's Kedegree? Holly says: 'It’s simple to make and a complete crowd pleaser whether you’re having it for brunch, lunch or dinner! It may have been the first time I’ve made a Kedgeree but it definitely won’t be the last!'"
Fans were obviously thrilled to see the mum-of-three back on their feeds, with one, xxjendayxx commenting: "Missing this face on my screen! Food looks gorgeous too xxx" with a heart eyes emoji.
Holly's absence from her own Instagram profile could also be down to the presenter deciding to take her half-term break early after the issues at work. She is next expected to front the programme on Monday, June 5.
Following Schofield's announcement, it was confirmed that Holly will remain on This Morning and will co-present with members of the This Morning family.
