This Morning sweetheart Holly Willoughby is set to be replaced by Rochelle Humes on the sofa this week.

The 40-year-old TV presenter disappointed her fans over the weekend as she announced she will not make an appearance on the ITV daytime show from Monday to Thursday.

While she hasn't said too much, Holly has speculated her absence from the show is down to her next exciting project.

She hinted she has something brewing in the works as she continued to take time off from This Morning.

Here's exactly what we know so far...

On Sunday, Holly told fans Rochelle would be 'keeping her side of the sofa warm' as she spent time with her son Chester at home, while planning the next steps of her high-flying showbiz career.
