Holly Willoughby hasn't been seen for weeks now since she finished up her hosting gig on This Morning. The presenter is currently on her annual summer break from the ITV daytime show having gone off air with co-host Phillip Schofield in early July.
The presenting duo usually host the popular programme from Monday to Thursday with Alison Hammond and Dermot O'Leary giving viewers the Friday feels to end the week. But it's been all change for the last month, with Alison and Dermot kickstarting summer This Morning before various other familiar faces have taken over.
Holly, meanwhile, has remained pretty quiet as she spends time with her family. But the 40-year-old returned to Instagram on Thursday (August 4) as she promoted her latest range with Marks and Spencer - and she looked pretty different.

The 41-year-old was snapped in a field as the sun shone down on her while donning a purple and yellow patterned tea dress with long sleeves and tie neck detailing. The change, however, was with Holly's hair as he usual short blonde locks had suddenly grown by a couple of inches.
"A summer state of mind," she captioned the promotional post. "New hair and new favourite pieces, courtesy of M&S! This gorgeous floral-print dress is perfect for those warm summer evenings. Keep an eye out for more of my top picks over." Holly then added: "…All this Vit D’s making my hair grow."
And the mum-of-three's millions of followers were quick to start commenting about her new look. @ hackett.damien commented: "You look absolutely gorgeous love the new hair style beautiful." @craigiebo1 said: "Dress does look cracking though, Holly and so does the hair."
@kronus_66 wrote: "Looking beautiful as always, glad to see the longer hair." @mariannem7373 replied: "Loving everything. Your hair is beautiful." @brad73226 shared: "Look fantastic with longer hair." @danny.inns added: "Loving the new hair Holly."
Holly last appeared on Instagram over the weekend as she, like millions of others, tuned in to watch the Lionesses compete in the Euro 2022 final. The England women's team came up again Germany on Sunday (July 31) and pulled off a sensational and historic victory.
"This is so stressful I think I'm going to have to go and eat some ice cream," Holly said in the video she posted to her followers. "That's the only thing I can do to get through these next 20 minutes because if this goes to penalities... I'm not sure I've not enough ice cream in the freezer. Luckily, or unluckily, for Holly she didn't have to raid the frozen sweet treat.
Last week, Holly also gave fans a rare glimpse inside her home life after sharing a snap of her youngest son's eating habits. Posting a picture of the youngest son Chester's plate, which featured pickles and oreos, Holly asked parents if their children had similar eating habits to Chester's.
Sharing the strange assortment with her 8 million followers on Instagram, @hollywilloughby wrote: "Is your kid as weird as mine??? #chester #pickles #oreo," alongside a sick-face emoji. Holly and husband Dan Baldwin share three children, 13-year-old Harry, 11-year-old Belle and Chester, aged seven.
