Is Holly Willoughby back on This Morning today and where was she last week?

Holly Willougby will be back on This Morning today after she missed two episodes last week.

The ITV presenter was suddenly missing from the daytime favourite on Wednesday and Thursday.

Co-host Phillip Schofield simply said: "Holly's having a day off, she's back on on Monday."

Holly, 39, was replaced by Alison Hammond and Davina McCall.

But over the weekend, the mum-of-three revealed the reason for her sudden absence after two of her kids became ill and had to get tested for coronavirus.

Holly wrote in a post on her Instagram Stories to her 6.9 million followers on Saturday: "Just wanted to say thank you for all your kind messages...

"Over the last few days two of our children were unwell and has symptoms of Covid-19.

"In line with government guidelines we were waiting for results of the tests before I could return to work, couple that with just wanting to look after two poorly children, it meant having two days away from @thismorning."

She continued: "I chose not to alert everyone to this because my focus was looking after them... thankfully all tests came back negative and everybody's feeling much better.

"See you Monday. Once again, thank you for all the lovely messages... Holly xxxx."
