When is Holly Willoughby returning to This Morning?

Holly hasn’t been on This Morning since the beginning of July. The star hosted her final show, alongside Craig Doyle, in July, before heading off for her annual summer break.

Alison Hammond, Dermot O’Leary, Rochelle Humes, Andi Peters, Craig Doyle, Josie Gibson, and Steve Jones have all fronted the show over the last few weeks.

However, Holly’s return date has finally been confirmed. The star will be back to front the show on Monday, September 4! Only a few more days to go!

This means that today will be the final show without Holly.

It’s also been revealed that Alison Hammond will be co-hosting the show with Holly on her first two days back. Holly, of course, will be fronting the show with new hosts on the regular now that Phillip Schofield has left.

“On Monday, it’s double trouble as Alison and Holly return,” Andi teased at the end of today’s show.
