Holly Willoughby was clearly struggling when she returned to This Morning on Tuesday, having taken the day off on Monday to recover from a weekend in Glastonbury.
The ITV presenter was pictured queuing up at a bar in the VIP area of Glasto on Friday afternoon, having jetted into the world famous festival by helicopter. Holly was just one of countless celebrities to party up a storm at Worthy Farm, with the likes of Paul McCartney, Kate Hudson and Romeo Beckham also spotted soaking up the atmosphere as the likes of Arctic Monkeys Blondie and Sunday night headliner Elton John entertained.
Having taken a day off earlier than expected on Thursday, Holly was also missing in action from Monday's This Morning as Josie Gibson came into host alongside Craig Doyle. Without offering any reason for Holly's absence, Craig told viewers at home that she'd be back tomorrow (Tuesday) and, sure enough, Holly was sat alongside Craig as the show kicked off at 10am.

Clearly aware that Holly was still a bit tender after Glastonbury, Craig took the opportunity to wind up his colleague, quipping: "What's going on here then? The cold? A bit of hayfever?" A croaky Holly conceded: "I've been Glasto'd," as she struggled to get her words out. Holly then went onto tell Craig what an amazing time she had, how she probably lost her voice from all the singing along the did to Elton John and shared a photo of her and This Morning co-star Dermot O'Leary enjoying Blondie's set in the sunshine.
As the show continued viewers on Twitter were still taking aim at Holly for having some extra time off, wit one critic posting: "normal people have a weekend away and go back to work on Monday. Apparently not Holly Willoughby. She goes to Glastonbury and then takes Monday off. What is it with this woman doesn’t she have enough time off already."
