Holly Willoughby was missing from This Morning on Monday and will be absent for the rest of the summer as she started her break earlier than many viewers were anticipating.
For years now, it's been the norm for Holly and now former co-host Phillip Schofield to take time off during school holidays, with the longest spell being at the end of the school year. But, while many pupils across the UK have yet to begin their lengthy time away from the classroom, Holly has already begun her This Morning absence.
Many ITV viewers would have assumed she'd be hosting Monday's edition of the daytime programme, given that she'd been at the helm for the last two weeks, alongside Craig Doyle, but instead, neither Holly or Craig were in the studio, as colleagues Alison Hammond and Dermot O'Leary did the honours.
