Holly Willoughby couldn't hide her smile as she took to her Instagram Stories following her latest appearance on This Morning. The presenter could be seen cuddled up for a beaming selfie with temporary co-host Dermot O'Leary.
Holly, 42, and Dermot, 50, were reunited on-screen at the helm of the ITV daytime show for the first time in nine years after previously hosting the programme together for one week only in 2014.
At the start of the first show of the week on Monday (June 12), after already opening the show and teasing some of what was to come, Dermot turned to Holly with his hand in the air and said: "Hey you!" to which she high-fived him and replied: "Hey Dermot O'Leary!"

Dermot explained how these days, with hosting separately on This Morning, the pair are usually seeing each other in their personal lives and not professionally. He recalled that one of the last times they worked together was on The Xtra Factor in 2008 before Holly gave birth to her first child, now-14-year-old Harry.
The pair then reflected on a clip of them together from the time they last hosted This Morning together when Holly said: "This is nearly a decade ago … You look exactly the same. I’ve got a lot more hair which probably isn’t mine."
She added: "It’s good to have you back," to which Dermot replied: "Thank you. Looking forward to it. Here for two weeks, right?" Holly cheerily said back: "Yeah, I know!" before they carried on with the rest of the show.
Following the second show together, Holly posted a grinning snap of the pair from the This Morning set, taken in front of the famous Spin to Win wheel. It showed the mum-of-three placing her arm around the neck of a smiling Dermot which she then shared with her millions of followers, tagging her pal along with an orange heart emoji.
Holly then later revealed she was enjoying a glass of TV chef James Martin's wine in the garden under the shining sun, her scandal-plagued former co-star and friend Phillip Schofield's own range was 'axed' from shops. Sharing a photo of the glass of rose standing in the grass, the TV beauty wrote: 'Testing this out for our rosé demo tomorrow. Purely for research purposes." She added: "Thanks James Martin, it's delicious."
It comes after Phillip's partnership with When In Rome came to an abrupt end just three years after he joined forces with the Stroud-based company to produce his own wine range. A spokeswoman for firm previously told the Mirror: "We have worked with Phillip Schofield on his range of Italian craft wines for three years and this collaboration has drawn to a natural conclusion. There are no further plans to continue filling the Schofield range for future orders."
