One said it was great to have them back to ‘give viewers a break’ from Eamonn and Ruth’s bickering.

Some fans not happy

However, others weren’t happy. They told them to stop banging on about their ‘holiday’ from work.

Many even called for the return of Eamonn and Ruth, who were a hit last week when they presented Monday to Friday.

What happened on This Morning today?

Holly and Phil had a jam-packed show, including taste testing rosé wine.

But Holly was left shocked when one of the show’s editors said in her ear that she was ‘common’ after she revealed she likes to put ice cubes in her rosé to keep it chilled.
