Holly returned to the daytime show today for her second week without Phil, who stepped down from ITV after confessing to an extra-marital affair with a much younger male runner on This Morning.

Putting the drama behind her, Holly shared an update via her Wyldemoon newsletter.

She wrote:  “Hi, how’re you feeling today? How dreamy was the weather this weekend? Finally, here in the UK we’ve got the weather we’ve been craving and you get the sense that everyone feels better for it.

“Summer is literally right around the corner, bringing back picnics in the park, daytrips to the beach, al fresco evenings spent with loved ones…and not forgetting the annual paddling pool scrub down and patch up!”

The star continued, revealing that her children are currently gearing up for exams.

“The only downside to this lovely weather for us as a family right now is the revision cloud hanging over us,” she shared.

“If you’re anything like me, you’ve got some very frustrated kids kicking about the house, when all they want is to be outside kicking a ball! I can remember that battle for self-discipline like it was yesterday.”

Holly and husband Dan Baldwin are parents to 13-year-old son Harry, 11-year-old daughter Belle, and eight-year-old son Chester.

The TV favourite is currently hosting the show with Dermot O’Leary, who will be taking the co-host spot for the next two weeks.

ITV announced Holly will co-host with various This Morning presenters in light of Phil’s exit.

But fans are now convinced Dermot will be getting the full time job.
