Phillip Schofield explains Holly Willoughby’s absence from This Morning

breakingnews.ie:

Davina McCall has replaced Holly Willoughby on This Morning for the day. The former Big Brother star stepped in for the regular host after she took a day off to take her children back to school.

Willoughby is mother to three children – Belle, nine, Harry, 11 and Chester, five – with husband Daniel Baldwin. Opening the show, McCall said: “Hi, I’m here.

Holly’s doing something lovely today.” Willoughby’s regular co-host Phillip Schofield added: “Holly is taking her children to school today, they are all going back and it’s a sort of staggered affair and so quite complicated and I imagine, probably in houses up and down the country, quite high emotion.
