This Morning viewers baffled as Holly Willoughby replaced by Davina McCall

This Morning viewers were scratching their heads during today’s show as Davina McCall had replaced usual host Holly Willoughby.

Former Big Brother host Davina, 52, was taking 39-year-old presenter Holly’s place, and fans were wondering where she was.

Phillip Schofield quickly explained that Holly was absent because she was doing the school-run, as her kids were going back to school today amid the coronavirus lockdown.

Phil explained: “Holly is taking her children to school today. They’re all going back…it’s a staggered affair” explaining that she needed to help take them to school and miss the show.

Davina added that Holly was a “good mummy”.
