ITV has confirmed Holly Willoughby will return to her This Morning presenting duties after he former co-star dramatically stepped down.

Phillip Schofield quit all his ITV roles last week after he admitted having an affair with a younger male colleague. The 61-year-old presented This Morning alongside Holly Willoughby, who admitted she was hurt to find out she had been lied to by her co-host.

Away from the drama back home, Holly has been spending some time in Portugal with her mum and her family. In pictures exclusively obtained by the Mirror, Holly could be seen smiling while sat around a dinner table beside mum Linda.

But now she is back in the UK, according to ITV bosses. An announcement made during Monday's Good Morning Britain told viewers Holly would be returning for today's instalment of This Morning.

A voiceover said: "Holly is expected to make an announcement at the start of today's show. Likely one of her toughest moments in her decades in front of the camera".

Viewers were also reminded that ITV chief executive Dame Carolyn McCall has been asked to face questions from MPs next week over the situation.
