Holly’s positive test was confirmed by Dancing on Ice and will mean the presenter will miss This Morning over the coming week.
Alison Hammond, Josie Gibson and Rochelle Humes have been lined up to take her place throughout the week, reports BirminghamLive.
In a statement released ahead of the Danicing on Ice semi-final tonight, a show spokesman confirmed: "Unfortunately, Holly Willoughby is unable to host tonight's show after testing positive for Covid-19. We look forward to Holly returning for the Dancing on Ice Live Final.”
Phillip missed the show just weeks ago after catching coronavirus.
Stephen Mulhern filled in for him at the time. But the Saturday Night Takeaway star is himself recovering from an operation.
He told fans: “Hello all. Sorry I’ve been quiet on here recently and thank you for all your lovely messages. I've had some time off and been resting up on doctors orders.
"I’m on the mend, I’m happy to say, and looking forward to getting back to work soon. In the meantime I’ll put my feet up and watch Saturday Night Takeaway tonight with the rest of you lot."
