This Morning viewers were left making the same comment as Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield returned to screens. Those tuning into the ITV daytime show on Thursday (July 7) were a little thrown off at first as they were greeted by a group of drummers covered in face paint and in bright clothing.

It was announced last year that ITV had purchased the woodland as part of a drive to 'go green' and stop the area from ever being built on.

Holly and Phillip hosted live from the forest last September but hadn't been back since - until today (Thursday).
