ITV This Morning fans say Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield need to 'watch out' as they make demand ahead of return

This Morning viewers have told Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield to 'watch out' as they gear up for their return. The hosting duo have been absent from the ITV daytime programme since July and after a lengthy break, they'll be back on screens on Monday (September 5).

Last week, Holly and Phillip enjoyed an early reunion before they got back in front of the cameras. Holly, 41, was the first to share a snap of the duo, beaming for the camera. Phillip looked chilled as he donned a white t-shirt while Holly also appeared fresh-faced in a black shirt with her blonde locks tied back with a few strands framing her face.

"Well look who came over for a play date before school starts… " the mum-of-three penned alongside the snap to her millions of followers. She then added: "See you on Monday @schofe @thismorning … I’ve missed you!!!!! Can’t wait to see you all!!!!"

Phillip, 60, also shared the photo of the pair with his own millions of followers but let them in on a little worry he has before he gets back to work next week. First, he gushed: "Now that was fun!! The best day with my bestie [heart emojis] love you to bits @hollywilloughby."

But he then added: "Let’s see how well I can read an autocue on Monday with a dilated pupil." And Holly was quick to joke in response: "I might be able to see it but I still cant read it!" It comes after Phillip underwent two procedures during the summer to rid the floaters from his eyes.

During their summer break, the pair have been replaced by a whole host of famous faces, including Rochelle Humes, Josie Gibson and Vernon Kay. And in that time viewers also gave a big welcome back to Ruth Langsford who took to the helm with 'TV son' Rylan Clark.

Taking to Instagram on Sunday, a post from the This Morning account saw Holly and Phillip cuddled up on the show's famous sofa. "They’re back," a message read alongside the snap. "Phillip and @hollywilloughby return to #ThisMorning, Monday 5th September from 10am!"

And fans were quick to share their delight. @theittybittymum said: "Can’t wait. The OGs are back." @shahlatona cheered: "BESTIES ARE BACK!!!" @pamelasut1368 commented: "We’ve missed you two." @beautywillsxx shared: "'m so excited to have them back they've been missed."

Fans appear to have loved the changing line-up (ITV)

But it appears not everyone agrees and some are making demands to ITV to make a change. @lynne.rennie.12 said: "They better watch out Vernon n Josie were excellent along with Ruth n Rylan in their absence!!" @christine.nye.140 shared: "Can't we have Rylan and Ruth back, please. Loved seeing them two hosting the show ... I will , admit though , I have missed Holly and Phil."

@deborahstead2 commented: "Please bring Rylan and Ruth back they were great." But @nmcharvey wrote: "Let's have Vernon and Josie on more." @sue_t_ echoed: "Love Vernon to be on regularly. He was the highlight of the summer This Morning." @rhondacupples replied: "Can't say I'm excited. Loved having the different people on. Rochelle and Vernon or Josie and Craig breath of fresh air."
