What are shingles and first signs as Holly Willoughby forced off ITV This Morning with painful infection

Holly Willoughby has been forced to take an unexpected break from This Morning due to having shingles. The presenter was due back on the ITV daytime show on Monday (April 17) for the first time in a number of weeks along with Phillip Schofield after enjoying time off for the Easter holidays.

But in an Instagram post shared by both Holly and This Morning on Sunday (April 16), the 42-year-old confirmed her return had been hit by a setback and that she'd be away for a "few days" - or the whole week - due to being struck down by the painful infection.

She wrote on the distinctive green This Morning logo backdrop: "Hi ...just to let you know I may be away for the rest of the week as I have Shingles," she said with frustrated-face emoji. Holly added: "I'll be back as soon as I'm better. Huge Love."
