No Holly Willoughby on This Morning
This Morning viewers were left confused today when Holly failed to return to the show.
The 40-year-old star has been absent from the show for the last two weeks as she’s away filming another show.
The other show in question is Wim Hof’s Superstar Survival, which is set to air on BBC One later this year. The show, which Holly is co-presenting alongside Lee Mack, will see celebrities being put through challenging tasks in “Europe’s harshest conditions”.

What did viewers say about Holly Willoughby’s absence from This Morning?

“Is Holly still away filming her new show? Poor woman must be knackered,” another said.
