This Morning fans were all saying the same thing after they claimed Holly Willoughby will be taking a break from the ITV show.
The 42-year-old telly star has fronted the ITV programme since 2009 – and is a hit with the show’s loyal legion of viewers.
In recent weeks though, Holly, and the show itself, has come under fire following former host Phillip Schofield’s shock affair confession.

But as the summer break approaches, Holly has quietly stepped back from the show and will not return until Autumn.
Welcoming viewers on Monday morning (July 10) was show favourites Alison Hammond and Dermot O’Leary.
This meant her last episode was Thursday (July 6) – and following last week’s episode fans all rushed to Twitter to say the same thing.
Rushing to Twitter, one person said: “Holly looking forward to summer break. She must be knackered.”

Another added: “Holly’s last day tomorrow before going off for the summer. Bet she’s glad!”
“Have we just witnessed Holly’s last ever This Morning?” mused a third viewer, with someone else replying: “How come?”
A fifth then claimed: “Last show before summer break Will she stay or will she go!?!?”
Daily Star has reached out to ITV and Holly’s representatives for comment.
