On Tuesday’s edition of the show, it was revealed that former Saturdays singer Rochelle Humes will be keeping Holly’s seat warm while she’s away.

Phil, 57, said: “Hello and welcome to Tuesday’s This Morning and unbelievably, you [Holly] have got today, tomorrow, Thursday and then it’s half term.”
Holly continued: “Half term with the kids and then off to the jungle!”
As the I’m A Celebrity theme tune played, Holly admitted: “Oh my gosh, it’s getting real now. I had a meeting yesterday with the whole I’m A Celeb team.
“We had a bit of a read through of a fake show as if it was a show to get used to things.”
Holly revealed she’s already practised saying “I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!” which she and Dec Donnelly will say at the start of every show.
She added: “What I didn’t realise is that only one of them says, ‘I’m A Celebrity’ and then they both say, ‘get me out of here.’
“So you only join in halfway through depending on who’s got the line before.”
Phil replied: “Have you never noticed that?” to which Holly said: “No.”
Phil joked: “How much of a fan are you of the show? It’s pretty obvious.”
The duo then revealed that Rochelle will be standing in for Holly while she’s in Australia.
Holly told Rochelle: “When I disappear off to the jungle, you’re coming in to look after Phil.”
Gushing about landing the job, Rochelle – who has co-hosted the show on several occasions before – said: “I’ll take good care of him.
“I’m excited and I can tell people now. There were rumours at the weekend and I didn’t reply to any of my friends, sorry!”

Phil admitted: “I’m really looking forward to it. It will be fabulous! We’ll have a great time.”
