Holly is stepping away from This Morning to host ITV's brand new show, The Games. The series will see a celebrity line-up battle it out in a sporting spectacular event across a week of live programmes.

Holly will be presenting the live show, which will broadcast nightly, alongside Freddie Flintoff. The Games will also see former professional footballer and presenter Alex Scott as trackside reporter and former professional football player and presenter Chris Kamara as commentator.

Explaining Holly's absence, Phil said on Monday, May 9: "Hiya, welcome to your Monday morning. Rochelle is here all week because Holly's presenting ITV's new show The Games which is live tonight and all week.

"9pm tonight she's live from Crystal Palace for the games, not taking part but actually hosting it beautifully."

"I wish she was taking part," Rochelle said, before adding: "Always pleased to be here."

This Morning airs weekdays at 10am on ITV and the ITV Hub
