Phillip Schofield's much publicised return to work has been thrown into chaos by the fact that co-host Holly Willoughby will be missing in action, having been struck down by a nasty illness.
ITV veteran presenter Phillip has been absent from the daytime show for the last three weeks. He and Holly always take a two week break for Easter, but Phillip took a 'pre arranged' leave of absence a week earlier, due to his brother's court case.
Alison Hammond hosted alongside Holly for much of the first week of Phillip's time off, before Alison and Dermot O'Leary and then Josie Gibson and Craig Doyle fronted This Morning over the school holidays. It has now been confirmed that Phillip will be back in the studio and back on hosting duty on Monday, April 17, but it won't be with Holly, as she is battling shingles.
