Viewers will see Rosie (Helen Flanagan), Gemma Winter (Dolly-Rose Campbell) and Craig Tinker (Colson Smith) appear on This Morning to talk with Holly and Phil.

Earlier this month, Corrie boss Kate Oaes revealed Holly and Phil will be bringing “a bit of fun” to Rosie’s exit scenes.

Actress Helen, who plays Rosie, is eight months pregnant and leaving the soap temporarily on maternity leave.

Kate told the Metro: “Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby are coming in for a bit of fun and part of Helen Flanagan’s exit story.

“We’re kind of replaying a bit of a trick we have used before because Rosie has already been on shows but it will be great comedy.”

Kate revealed Phil and Holly will play themselves in the scenes.

“I had a couple of hopes where I thought I could get them to slightly play against type!” she explained. “They’re such good sports – I am very happy.”

Helen is expecting her second child with partner Scott Sinclair.

The actress recently told Loose Women that her exit scenes will be “hilarious.”

“I’m going out in very much a Rosie style – the storyline is hilarious,” she explained. “But I have enjoyed that about my character, doing comedy has been great.”

Meanwhile, Holly admitted she’s “so nervous” about the upcoming cameo.

During an episode of This Morning on May 8, Phil revealed that he and Holly had received their scripts and were just about to film their scenes.

Talking with This Morning’s Queen of Soaps Sharon Marshall, Holly said: “I’m so nervous, can I just say.”

Flicking through the script pages, Phil teased his co-presenter saying: “Look at all your lines!”
