Today's show will now be presented by Phillip and Sarah Greene, as they reunite following their fame together on Going Live!

A source confirmed to The Sun Online: "Holly is still unwell. It's just a sickness bug and today's show will be hosted by Phillip Schofield and Sarah Greene."

Sarah previously hosted Going Live! with Phil 24 years ago, and they reunited for the first time on TV on This Morning last week.

Phillip announced the news that Holly was sick yesterday and told This Morning viewers: "Holly's not very well today so I've been given the most unlikely partner. I can't wait for this."

He later added: "Get well soon. She text me this morning and said she got up and threw up all over the cat."

He then revealed they had managed to get Rylan Clark-Neal out of bed in time to be her replacement.

Rylan quipped: "I was in bed an hour and 20 minutes ago."

Phillip joked: "They said, 'Rylan is coming' and I said, 'No I'll do it on my own'."

Rylan continued: "This really is an unlikely pairing. A presenter and an X Factor reject."

Phillip revealed why his new presenting partner would cause problems as he revealed their height difference was too noticeable on the famous sofa.

One person who wasn't impressed with the new presenting duo was TV chef Gino D'Acampo who interrupted the show with a cup of coffee in hand.

Phil then addressed Holly as he said: "Holly, this is all your fault.

Meanwhile, someone who made it clear they were missing Holly's presence was the This Morning puppy.
