Joel will be taking over from Alison Hammond who filled in for Phil on Monday, March 27 and Tuesday, March 28. Welcoming viewers to This Morning at the start of the week, Holly asked the new Great British Bake Off host: "Is it weird being here on a Monday?" to which Alison replied: "It's quite nice actually, start the week off."

Holly then explained Phil's absence by saying: "Phillip is having the week off so all the adults have left the building." Alison normally presents This Morning on Fridays with Dermot O'Leary.

Following Alison and Holly's presenting stint, fellow This Morning star Josie Gibson sent a sweet message to the pair. Posting on Instagram she said: "Nothing makes me prouder than seeing these two beauties absolutely smash it" and tagged them in her post.
