Holly was forced to be absent from Monday's episode as she took her children back to school.
Holly is mum to Harry, 11, Belle, nine, and Chester, five, with her partner Dan Baldwin.
During today's instalment, Holly addressed her absence, describing yesterday as an "emotional" day.
It was really good, the school were brilliant and it was all really organised, I worried about it naturally, as a parent you worry about these things." She said.
"But actually very organised. The kids were just so excited to see each other, I got a little bit emotional.
"Because you've been with them the whole time, I knew what they had done, what they've eaten, what they've learnt, it's like having them back as babies, and suddenly they were doing stuff in the day that I didn't know about, so it was relinquishing control."
It comes after Davina labelled Holly a "good mummy" during Monday's episode, while Phil spoke of Holly's absence.
He said: "Welcome to a new week, and this is Davina.
"Holly is taking her children to school today, they're all going back and it is a staggered affair."
