Holly Willoughby to return to This Morning

OHMYGOSSIP — Holly Willoughby will return to ‘This Morning’ alongside Philip Schofield in September a year after she left to go on maternity leave.

The 34-year-old presenter is set to resume her hosting duties alongside Phillip Schofield on the ITV breakfast show in September, a year after she left the show to go on maternity leave.

Phillip – who has been presenting the programme with Amanda Holden since – was absent from the show (06.07.15) and was replaced by Gok Wan as he joined Holly to film new titles ahead of her return in autumn.

Revealing the news on Twitter he wrote: “Not on @itvthismorning today. Spending the day with @hollywills shooting new opening titles, promos and doing i/v’s for her Sept return (sic)”.

Holly – who has nine-month-old Chester, Harry, six and Belle, four, with her husband Dan Baldwin – departed ‘This Morning’ in tears last year as she bid farewell to her co-star and crew.

The blonde beauty – who is a team captain on ITV2’s ‘Celebrity Juice’ – also recently revealed she is set to return to the panel show later this month.

She was replaced by TV chef Gino D’Acampo during her absence and he will now remain on the show hosted by funnyman Keith Lemon as a panellist.

Holly said of her return: “I’m so excited to be back and I cannot wait to see the whole ‘Celebrity Juice’ gang again.

“Strangely I’ve missed that strawberry blonde man [Keith] and it’s great that Gino is staying too – it’s going to be fun!”
