Holly Willoughby has returned to This Morning after testing positive for coronavirus.
The 41-year-old presenter was back on our screens on Wednesday morning (March 23) alongside Phillip Schofield.
Fans were delighted to see Holly on the famous blue sofa after she was forced to take some time off from the ITV daytime show.
Taking to Twitter, one fan penned: “#ThisMorning so glad holly back she’s been missed.”
Another added: “#ThisMorning Holly’s back finally! so so happy xx”
A third person posted: “Yay Holly is back.”
While a fourth social media user said: “So happy to see Holly.”
The mother of three informed viewers that she had “48 hours of felling rubbish” but has “felt fine” ever since.
She explained that she had to wait her lateral flow test to negative and she described waiting for the single line as the “worst advent calendar in the world.”
Phillip confirmed that Holly would be coming back earlier this week.
Alison Hammond and Jose Gibson both filled in for Holly over the past week.
At the start of Tuesday’s show (March 22), Phillip told viewers: “Alison is obviously here today, we’re pleased to say that she’s negative and she’ll be back tomorrow.”
Upon hearing the news, Alison began dancing along to Celebrate Good Times by Kool & The Gang, which made Phillip laugh even more.
The television personality joked that she was expecting “confetti and the works” before she addressed Holly and told her that she’s “so glad she’s coming back”.
Holly has taken some time off from her usual presenting gigs on This Morning and Dancing On Ice since she tested positive for Covid-19.
She has shared updates on Instagram and recently posted a selfie from her back garden, soaking up the sun as it’s “what the doctor ordered”.
The news means Holly will also likely be returning to host the Dancing on Ice final this weekend.
The delayed finale will air on March 27 at 7pm on ITV.
Last week, Phil revealed that Holly was “annoyed” about having to take more time off from This Morning.

It was made worse considering fans have complained a lot about her absences lately.
“Are Holly and Phil ever working on #ThisMorning these days,” one viewer recently ranted.
Another said: “Phil and Holly on HOLLIBOBS again because it’s a half-term perhaps.”
This Morning airs weekdays on ITV at 10am
