Popular TV hosts Holly Wiloughby and Phillip Schofield are loved by fans across the UK, as the pair grace our TV screens every week on topical daytime show This Morning.

But after weeks of presenting the show with social distancing measures in place, Holly and Phillip are taking a week off next week, with Friday hosts Ruth Langsford and Eamonn Holmes replacing them from Monday-Friday (25-29th May).

Although schools across the UK are currently shut due to the Coronavirus pandemic, next week would have been half-term in most areas of the UK, meaning Holly and Phillip get a week off from presenting the popular ITV show.

Check out which TV shows we can't wait to return:

Meanwhile, as well as the daily 'Spin To Win' fails on This Morning, Holly and Phillip left fans in hysterics a few weeks back when The Chase presenter Bradley Walsh and his son Barney pranked Holly live on air.

Holly and Phillip were taking part in a phone-in about homeschooling, when a former Army Major called Roger called the pair alongside his son James, admitting they couldn't come to an agreement.

Whilst Roger believed his son should follow some very strict rules, including wear a full suit and tie and putting his hand up when he needed to use the toilet, James said he was 'sick' of how strict his dad was being, before the call was interrupted by Roger shouting at someone called Audry.

But after the show returned from a commercial break, Holly discovered she'd been pranked by Bradley and the crew, with Phillip telling her, "No, well done, nicely done. It wasn't genuine, you've been done again... It was Bradley Walsh."

This Morning continues weekday mornings at 10am.
