Holly and Phil's This Morning return confirmed - but there will be a big change

Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield's This Morning return has finally been confirmed - but there will be something very different about the show.

The much-loved duo will be back on the sofa next Monday after taking seven weeks off for the summer.

However the ITV daytime show won't be the same when they return as the programme is extended for a whole extra hour.

Earlier this year, The Jeremy Kyle Show was axed following the suicide of guest Steve Dymond. This prompted speculation about which show would fill the hour gap between Lorraine and This Morning.

The Mirror confirmed that ITV had chosen to extend This Morning for an extra hour, meaning the show will run from 9.30am until 12.30pm.

Holly and Phil were last seen on screen together in mid-July and have been making the most of their time off.

The pair were reunited in Portugal in Quinta do Lago, where the best mates lapped up the sunshine together with their families.

The self-professed 'besties' were joined by Phil’s wife Stephanie Lowe, daughters Ruby and Molly, 23 and 25 and the girls’ boyfriends Will George and Will Grieveson.

Holly’s hubby Dan Baldwin and their children were enjoying the family holiday too, as well as This Morning’s Rochelle Humes - who worked with Phil when Holly was co-presenting I’m A Celebrity last year.

Phil admitted he was struggling with a hangover after a particularly boozy night out with Holly, posting a video where he looked worse for wear on Snapchat on Friday morning.

The duo were reportedly spotted enjoying lunch and drinking gin cocktails at Parrilla Beach Club in Praia do Ancão, 10 minutes from their five-star resort.

*This Morning airs weekdays at 10.30am on ITV
