While half term doen't take place in Wales until the week starting Monday, October 31, some schools in England have half term this week and others have their break from Monday, October 24.
Their decision to take time off has been criticised. One viewer wrote social media: "Holly and Phil have only been back about a month and now they're of again.."
Meanwhile, another said: "Have Holly and Phil jumped the queue on half term as well? Isn't it next week for most schools?"
A third commented: "Half term is next week… Did Holly and Phillip decide to fast track half term as well?"
