Holly Willoughby breaks silence with fresh-faced snap after Covid-19 forced her off air

Holly Willoughby has taken to Instagram to update her fans on her health after a recent positive Covid test left the star unable to present on ITV.

In the serene snap, Holly can be seen relaxing in front of a lush green hedge as she basked in the sunlight.

Her signature blonde locks were styled in a loose up do and she sported a bare face as she soaked up the sun.

The presenter wore a white bathrobe and cupped her hand round her face as she closed her eyes, enjoying a moment of peace after her recent illness.

Holly wrote in the caption: “Just what the doctor ordered,” and signed off with a sun emoji.

Fans and friends alike were stunned by Holly’s natural beauty as she enjoyed the rare British sunshine and took to the comments to boost her confidence.

Television personality Vanessa Feltz called her “sweetheart” and told the mother-of-three that she was “glad to see her up and about”.

One envious fan asked: “Drop the skincare routine now, please.”

Another said: “You are naturally beautiful, hope you’re feeling better,” while one kind follower wrote: “Sunshine is good for the soul, have a great weekend and keep on smiling”.

Holly had posted hours before as a plug for her new brand Wylde Moon, but her makeup free snap was the first sign of the ITV star all week.

Her bout of Covid left the ITV presenter unable to host both her usual slots, This Morning and the Dancing On Ice semi final, alongside her longtime pal Phillip Schofield.

Phillip presented the ice-skating competition by himself and posted a sweet message on his Instagram before he was due on air.

The 59-year-old added a selfie of the presenting pair to his Instagram story and said he was “gutted” that she “won’t be with him” for the show.

He called her “darling” and told her to get well soon, while a spokesperson for the show released a statement on the matter.

They confirmed that her absence was due to “testing positive for Covid-19” and that Dancing On Ice is “looking forward” to Holly’s return for the show’s grand finale episode.

Holly has presented This Morning with Phillip for over a decade and usually only takes breaks during the school holidays and on Fridays, when Alison Hammond and Dermot O’Leary stand in.

Meanwhile, Josie Gibson stepped in for Holly during the week.
