This Morning viewers were left confused on Tuesday as the show returned to ITV following the Christmas break without Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield.
The pair were missing from the line-up as Alison Hammond and Dermot O'Leary stepped in to present the first episode of 2022.
Alison and Dermot - who usually present This Morning on a Friday - will be hosting the daytime show all week.

Confirming the news on Instagram, Dermot shared a picture of himself and Alison on set and wrote: " I'll take whatever she's having… Back with my compadre @alisonhammond55 tomorrow for a week of @thismorning. Happy new year to you and yours."
Fans were overjoyed by the announcement but many questioned the whereabouts of Holly and Phil.
"Where's Phil and Holly! Thought they were back today #ThisMorning," one social media user wrote.
While another added: "Did Phil and Holly leave and forget to say goodbye? They've been off for ages."
And a third said: "Phil and Holly still aren’t back from their Christmas break? How many weeks off do they need? I wish I had that long off. I was lucky to get a bank holiday off! #ThisMorning."
When are Phil and Holly back on This Morning?
Holly and Phil last presented the show on Friday, December 10 although they did appear in a pre-recorded festive special on Christmas Day.
ITV has confirmed the pair are due to return to screens on Monday, January 10.
And those missing the presenters will get a double dose this month as the pair are due to present the new Dancing On Ice series when it returns.
This Morning continues weekdays at 10am on ITV.
