Holly Willoughby will not feature on This Morning today ( April 19) – but where is the much-loved presenter?
The 40-year-old has been notably missing from the ITV programme for two weeks, while she took a break for Easter alongside Phillip Schofield.
But why isn’t Holly appearing on the sofa this week? And who is replacing her?
Where is Holly Willoughby today?
Holly and Phillip departed the show for Easter earlier this month.
Eamonn Holmes and Ruth Langsford have stood in for them on one week.
Meanwhile, Alison Hammond and Dermot O’Leary stepped in to host last week.

However, Phil will return to the show alongside Rochelle Humes today.
Announcing the change on Instagram yesterday, Holly broke the news to fans.
She explained she was working on a new venture, as she posed with son Chester in the garden.
