Holly Willoughby will return to This Morning in 2019

She'll be back on Dancing On Ice first

| Updated:

Holly Willoughby has been on a break from her usual duties on daytime show This Morning while hosting I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! in Australia.

And though the jungle show came to an end on Sunday, her co-host Phillip Schofield – who has been joined on the show by Rochelle Humes for the last few weeks – has warned fans not to expect her back on screen any time soon.

Asked if she’ll be back on This Morning in 2018, he revealed on Twitter: “Nope, she can’t get back in time, the first time we’re on telly together is @dancingonice in the new year.(sic)”

Holly joined Declan Donnelly to front I’m A Celebrity… as his presenting partner Ant McPartlin is taking an extended break from the spotlight to focus on his sobriety, and she has admitted she had a “magical” time on the show.

She said: “It’s been everything and more!

“I’m so glad I had this experience without having to eat anything.

“There is nothing like this place. It is so magical.”

Dec also praised his co-host for doing an “amazing” job in the jungle.

He told her: “Holly, you’ve been amazing. Thank you so much for everything.”

Holly’s final appearance on This Morning was on October 18, where she undertook a mock Bushtucker trial that saw her put her hand is three boxes that included a remote control toy spider, some kittens and last year’s Jungle Queen Georgia ‘Toff’ Toffolo.

After her Bushtucker ordeal, the blonde beauty received a goodbye package filled with all her favourite goodies that you can’t get in Australia, including Marmite and baked beans.
