Holly Willoughby is absent from This Morning for heartbreaking reason
She's having a day off
Last updated 12th Mar 2019
As well as popular daytime show Loose Women being cancelled for the rest of the week, This Morning have now confirmed that lovable presenter Holly Willoughby will be absent from today's show (Tuesday 12th March).
The show have announced that Rylan Clark-Neal will step in to host Tuesday's show alongside Phillip Schofield. Rylan confirmed the news on his Twitter account, writing, 'Hosting @thismorning tomorrow with @Schofe . The lucky devil'. sic
Heartbreakingly, Holly has revealed that the reason she's not on today's show is due to the fact that it's the funeral of her grandmother. Taking to Instagram, she shared a photo of them together with the heartbreaking caption, 'Today we say goodbye for a little while to my beautiful Nan... go and be with Grandad... he’s been waiting for you... love you... miss you... 💕.' sic
Despite This Morning viewers loving Holly, it seems many are VERY excited to see Phillip and Rylan together.
One user wrote, 'So excited Pam! Last one was such a giggle 😂😂😂💓', with another writing, 'Can’t wait.....love you both... (not sure who I prefer 🤔)'. sic
It comes just a week after Holly was forced to present the show on her own, after Phillip was suffering from an illness. Addressing Phillip's absence last Thursday, Holly told viewers, "You might have noticed that I'm all by myself. Phillip is not well today, so we're wishing him lot of love and hope that he's better soon."
