“Been texting Holly all through the weekend and she’s absolutely fine, she just has that incredibly persistent and annoying red line that won’t go away.”
“So she’ll be sitting at home, it’s driving her crazy but it’s lovely to see you,” he told Josie.
Josie said: “You too Phil, thanks for having me. We do have a laugh don’t we!”
Viewers loved having Josie again as one tweeted: “Absolutely love @Josiestweet on #thismorning! What a breath of fresh air she is.”
Another said: “Yay Josie!”
However, one person tweeted Holly: “I was hoping you’d be back this morning. Hope you are ok.”
At the weekend, Holly delighted her fans with a radiant selfie as she enjoyed the sunshine.
The picture showed the mum-of-three facing up towards the sun with her eyes closed.
She wrote: “Just what the doctor ordered.”
Fans were glad to see Holly was well and gushed over her appearance.
One said: “You are naturally beautiful, hoping you’re feeling better.”
