Why Holly Willoughby has been replaced by Rochelle Humes on This Morning this week

Holly Willoughby fans are disappointed by news that she will NOT return to present This Morning this week as she works on a 'secret' project.

Holly has already been off screen for two weeks over the Easter holidays.

Fans had been expecting her return on Monday, but Holly took to instagram to reveal she will be away for another week - with Rochelle Humes taking her place on the sofa alongside Philip Schofield instead.

Sharing a selfie with her son Chester on Sunday night, she said: "Vitamin d, caffeine and a side order of distraction from Chester.

"Working on something else next week which I can’t wait to share with you all.... thank you to the lovely Rochelle Humes for keeping my side of the sofa warm... x"

Rochelle replied to say: "Got you".

But Holly's fans couldn't help but express disappointment that she would be away from screens for another week.

One said: "Looking beautiful in the sunshine gutted your not on tm for another week can't wait to see what your working on though exciting have a lovely day."

Many said how much they'll miss her - while other fans were keen to guess what the top secret project might be.

Lots were guessing she could be filming a guest role in Midsomer Murders, while others thought the photo of Holly writing suggested it could be a new book she could be penning.
