At the start of the programme, Phil told viewers: “Welcome to a new week on This Morning,” as he looked at Davina.
Davina said: “Hi, I’m here! Holly’s doing something lovely today.”
Holly is taking her children to school today.
Phil explained: “Holly is taking her children to school today, they’re all going back.
“It’s a staggered affair so it’s quite complicated. I can imagine, quite high emotion so yeah she’s taking her kids to school as she should.”
Davina admitted: “I’m very nervous but I’ll just follow you, you’ve done it before so it’s okay.”
Viewers were thrilled to have Davina on the show.
What did they say?
One person said: “Aw lovely to see Davina McCall on #ThisMorning.”

One added: “Where’s Holly?!”
Another said: “DAVINA!! It’s a TURN OFF FROM ME!! Can’t cope with that AWFUL SCREECHING!!”
Last week, Phil scared Holly as he insisted he “likes to live dangerously” on the set of the daytime show.
Taking to his Instagram Stories, Phil, 58, shared a clip from the This Morning studio that he took on his phone between filming.
In the video, Phil declared: “I’m living dangerously,” before angling the camera upwards.
It showed the show’s massive Spin To Win wheel.

“There’s the Spin to Win wheel,” he explained. “Holly doesn’t like me going anywhere near it.”
Holly, clearly terrified, interrupted him, saying: “I don’t like you going anywhere near it. Don’t!”
As it started swinging, Holly said: “Have you not seen Road Runner? Where the boulder comes down… Oh my god, get out! It’s actually shaking.”
Phil added: “You’ve got to live a bit dangerously!”
Holly said: “You’re weird!”
