Many viewers had expected to see the duo back today following their Christmas break.

Holly and Phil had broken up for their Christmas break earlier in December and were replaced by the likes of Alison Hammond, Dermot O’Leary, Josie Gibson and Andi Peters.

No question, the friendliest city I’ve ever visited.

On Tuesday’s show, Josie and Andi returned to front the programme.

Andi told viewers at the start of the show: “Hello and welcome to your Tuesday’s This Morning.”

Josie added: “But this isn’t any old This Morning, this is your first of 2023!”

This Morning presenters today

Some viewers weren’t happy to not see Holly and Phil back today.

One person ranted on Twitter: “So all the regular folk back at work but Holly and Phil still on holiday? How nice for them. Time to get rid.”

Another wrote: “Where’s Holly and Phil? Holidays are over!”

Someone else added: “Bloody Hell! How many weeks do Phil and Holly need off? They’re at home more than they are at work! Not complaining about having Josie and Andi in though.”
