HOLLY Willoughby and Phillip Schofield return to the This Morning sofa next week, following a well deserved summer break.
ITV have revealed the daytime show will be extended by one hour following the axing of The Jeremy Kyle show. Here's what we know...
When are Holly and Phil back on This Morning?
Holly, 38, and Phillip, 57, took an extended break from This Morning this summer and have been seen holidaying together in Portugal.
They are due to return to the show on Monday, August 2, 2019 to reprise their role as presenters of the ITV series.
The pair spent time together in Quinta do Lago, where they lapped up the sunshine with their loved ones.
Phillip’s wife Stephanie Lowe, daughters Ruby and Molly, 23 and 25 and the girls’ boyfriends Will George and Will Grieveson were also in attendance.
As were Holly's three children - Belle, Harry and Chester - and her husband Dan Baldwin.
Even Rochelle Humes, who filled in for Holly while she co-presented I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! last year.
Has Rochelle Humes replaced Holly Willoughby on This Morning?
Eamonn Holmes and Ruth Langsford were the main hosts over the summer, however, Rochelle Humes did step in a few times.
The TV couple are the regular stand-ins for Holly and Phillip while they are off on holiday.
Generally, they return to their usual Friday spot on This Morning when the two are back.
When Ruth took a break from hosting the programme on August 22, 2019 Rochelle took her place.
On replacing the TV steward, she joked she had been told by Ruth "to look after [Eamonn]";.
What changes will there be to This Morning?
ITV has decided to extend This Morning for an extra hour after The Jeremy Kyle Show was axed following the suicide of guest Steve Dymond.
Now, the show will run from 9.30am until 12.30pm but Holly and Phillip are expected to stay the main hosts.
ITV's chief executive, Dame Carolyn McCall, said it was "the right time for the show to end" after Dymond's death.
The daytime show had been on air for 14 years and won countless awards over the years.
In a statement, Dame Carolyn said:"Given the gravity of recent events, we have decided to end production of The Jeremy Kyle Show.
"The Jeremy Kyle Show has had a loyal audience and has been made by a dedicated production team for 14 years, but now is the right time for the show to end.
"Everyone at ITV's thoughts and sympathies are with the family and friends of Steve Dymond.
"The previously announced review of the episode of the show is under way and will continue. ITV will continue to work with Jeremy Kyle on other projects."
