Sharing the news on Instagram, Holly said: "Morning Friday… today we take our artwork off the wall and clear out the lockers before we breakup for summer… lots of fun to be had before we go… see you on @thismorning at 10am… #hwstyle @mrselfportrait."

While Holly and Phil take a break, This Morning will welcome a host of stars to front the show this summer. These will include Friday favourites Alison Hammond and Dermot O’Leary and familiar hosts including Ruth Langsford, Josie Gibson, Rochelle Humes, Vernon Kay, Rylan Clark, Craig Doyle, Mollie King, and Andi Peters.

Alison and Dermot will kick off the summer in style by hosting the first two weeks from July 11, and continuing to keep the summer sofa warm throughout the coming weeks will be a mix of on-screen partnerships with Josie and Craig, Rochelle and Andi, Josie and Vernon, Rochelle and Craig, Mollie and Craig, and Ruth and Rylan, before Rochelle and Vernon finally take the reins.

The summer guest hosts will front the live two-and-a-half hour show from White City’s Television Centre until September 2, before Phillip and Holly return on the September 5.

This Morning’s editor, Martin Frizell, said, "I’m delighted that This Morning will continue to air throughout the summer weeks with such a varied and talented mix of hosts that I know viewers adore.

"Each partnership will bring something new and exciting to entertain viewers each morning across the nation no matter what the weather will be like outside this summer."
