Holly Willoughby has returned to the spotlight in a pre-planned campaign weeks after she quit This Morning. The presenter left the ITV daytime show months after co-host Phillip Schofield resigned.

The 42-year-old's decision was shared on October 10 in a social media statement. She said it had been an 'honour to just be part of its story', but said it was a call she had to make for herself and her family.

In the Instagram post, she wrote: "I have let ITV know today that after 14 years, I will not be returning to This Morning. To everyone who has ever worked on the show over the years, thank you so so much.
