Holly Willoughby has missed This Morning yet again as she continues to test positive for Covid and it sounds like she’s had enough of isolation.
The 41-year-old star – who first tested positive on March 13 – missed Monday’s episode as her co-host Phillip Schofield revealed he was joined by Josie Gibson as Holly is still stuck in isolation.
At the start of the show, he said: ‘Welcome to your Monday this morning, Josie is back! I’ve been texting Holly all through the weekend and she’s absolutely fine.
‘She just has that incredibly persistent and annoying red line that won’t go away. So she’ll be sitting at home – it’s driving her crazy.’
Holly – who has also been missing from Dancing On Ice – was replaced by Josie and Alison Hammond during last week’s instalments of This Morning.
Over the weekend, Holly uploaded a rather zen picture of her basking in the sunlight with a green hedge completing the aesthetic look, and wrote: ‘Just what the doctor ordered.’

During last Tuesday’s edition of the daytime programme, viewers were told that Holly was pretty much over the whole situation – and we can’t blame her, to be honest.
‘Holly’s obviously still got rona, so sending her massive love and sort of texting throughout the day and checking up she’s ok. So, she’s fine, just annoyed, so lots of love, get well soon,’ Phil explained.
‘Get well soon Hols,’ Josie added, before they got on with the rest of the show – and now everyone will just be hoping she’s ready to go for this weekend’s Dancing On Ice final.

Meanwhile, her ‘work husband’ Phil also tested positive for Covid at the end of January.
He ended up missing This Morning and Dancing On Ice too, which resulted in Stephen Mulhern stepping in as host on the competition series.
During his time off, the star spent hours binge-watching programmes including This Is Us and documentaries The Tinder Swindler and Don’t Mess With Cats, as well as undergoing a massive clean in his home.
This Morning airs weekdays at 10am on ITV.
