This Morning fans confused as Holly and Phil seem to have 'left the show'

This Morning fans were confused today and questioned if Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield had 'left the show.'

The ITV talk show came back on air this morning, hosting the first show of 2022 after a break for the festive period.

Fans of the ITV daytime show were expecting to see Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield back at the helm, as they haven't been seen live on the show since December 17.

But instead of Holly and Phil, Dermot O'Leary and Alison Hammond took the lead.

Fans were shocked and confused to see the normal hosts were still missing, and didn't seem too pleased to see they had not returned.

Posting on Twitter, viewers shared their thoughts.

Fi said: "Is it Friday or have Phil and Holly left the show without telling us? Ah well, Dermot lolling about talking at 100mph, and Alison fluffing her way through the show and calling everyone "babs" it is then!"

Jenni said: "Did Phil & Holly leave & forget to say goodbye? They’ve been off for ages #ThisMorning @thismorning."

Liam 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."

Another user said: "Have Phil and Holly retired? #Thismorning."

It is thought Holly and Phil will return for their first show of the year next week.
