Holly Willoughby has dazzled fans with her spring-ready look as she finally returned to This Morning alongside Phillip Schofield. The presenter has been away from the programme for a number of weeks as her planned return was hit by a setback when she fell ill.
Holly, 42, had spent two weeks away from hosting duties on the ITV daytime show for her annual Easter half-term break alongside Phillip, 61, with Alison Hammond, Dermot O'Leary, Josie Gibson and Craig Doyle all filling in.
But Holly was forced to take an additional week off work after she fell ill with shingles. She was replaced on This Morning by Rochelle Humes who joined Phillip from Monday to Thursday last week until Alison, 48, and Dermot, 49, took over on Friday as usual.

However, on Monday (April 24), Holly was back in her usual spot and was brightly welcomed back by her co-star and friend. Speaking about her return, the mum-of-three said: "It is nice to be back. Good to see you..." turning to both Phillip and the camera to address viewers.
She admitted: "I had a wobbly week and half as anyone who has had it would know." When asked by Phillip how she was feeling now, she responded: "All mended in fact".
Holly also took to Instagram before the show as she kept up with the tradition of showing her millions of followers her outfit for the episode ahead before appearing on screen. "Morning Monday… aww I’ve missed you!!!!!" she typed alongside the post.
"See you on the @thismorning sofa at 10am… we have the co-author of The Rules on the show today! #hwstyle." And Holly looked perfect for the brighter weather as she slipped into a floral green frill midi dress from Ro&Zo.
She paired the pretty dress, which boasted ruched sleeves, with a pair of nude heels and kept her short bright blonde locks down in a soft wave. And her fans were soon sharing their delight at her being back as well as flooding her with compliments.
It comes after a period of silence on social media, Holly returned on Friday morning (April 21) and shared how she had been sent the 'sweetest delivery' from her fellow This Morning star Dermot O'Leary. She posted a picture to her Instagram Story showing an unwrapped deli sandwich which had been sent over via a restaurant.
"Thank you @dermotoleary for the sweetest delivery of chicken soup and salt beef..." she wrote over the image. She added: "Just what I needed. Feeling so much better. Thank you for all your well wishes," alongside a red heart emoji.
