Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby will be absent from This Morning over the next few weeks, with bosses confirming who will replace them.
The ITV show has been hit with unexpected absences over the last few months, both due to Covid and both concerning Phillip and Holly. First it was Phillip who contracted the virus, with him missing him over a week of This Morning episodes and a Dancing on Ice live show, with producers having to bring in Stephen Mulhern to replace him.
Then, just weeks after Phillip returned to the studio, it was Holy who was forced out of action for close to two weeks, after she tested positive for coronavirus. It was confirmed by ITV that she had the virus, just hours before the Dancing on Ice semi-final. Given the last minute nature of her drop out, the show didn't have time to bring anyone ese in and Phillip was forced to host solo.
