Why is Holly Willoughby not on This Morning?
Rochelle Humes has stepped in
Brand new sports show The Games kicks off on ITV tonight (Monday 9th May), with a week of live shows as celebs such as Kevin Clifton, Wes Nelson, Ryan Thomas and Christine McGuinness take on Olympic Games-style activities.
Now, if you're a fan of ITV Daytime show This Morning and tuned in today, you will have been greeted by the lovely Rochelle Humes alongside Phillip Schofield, instead of usual host Holly Willoughby.
Why is Holly Willoughby not on This Morning this week?
That's because Holly will be hosting The Games, alongside former England cricketer Andrew Flintoff.
Explaining Holly's absence on Monday, Phillip told viewers: "Hiya, welcome to your Monday morning. Rochelle is here all week because Holly's presenting ITV's new show The Games which is live tonight and all week.
"9pm tonight she's live from Crystal Palace for the games, not taking part but actually hosting it beautifully."
Rochelle Humes will present This Morning in Holly's absence.
