Holly Willoughby was snapped in a taxi driving to the ITV studios before she returned to This Morning for the first time since Phillip Schofield’s affair.
The TV presenter has been away from the daytime show for the last couple of weeks on an early holiday but made her return to the show on Monday (June 5) with Josie Gibson.
It comes after her former co-host Phillip admitted to having an “unwise but not illegal” affair with a younger male ITV colleague while married to his wife.

Before she went on-air, Holly was pictured sitting in a taxi and looking down at what appeared to be a sheet of paper filled with notes about Monday’s show.
She was wearing a white dress and clutching a pen, suggesting she was preparing for the cameras on her drive to the This Morning studio, based in West London’s White City.

It comes after Phillip revealed that he had sent Holly a text when news of his affair came out, but she didn’t reply.
He told The Sun: “The last time we had a conversation was when I texted Holly and said, ‘Don’t reply’ – this was after the statement last week – ‘Don’t reply, you’re probably not allowed to, but I am deeply deeply sorry that I lied to you.”
He added: “And I am. It was the one secret in our sanctuary that was never mentioned.”

Holly previously admitted in a statement on Instagram that hosting This Morning “won’t feel the same” without Phillip.
She wrote: “It’s been over 13 great years presenting This Morning with Phil and I want to take this opportunity to thank him for all of his knowledge, his experience and his humour.”
“The sofa won’t feel the same without him.”
