Holly Willoughby has returned to social media after days of silence following rumours of a "rift" between her and her former This Morning co-star.
The 42-year-old is currently taking a break from the daytime programme after Phillip Schofield dramatically stepped down from his role on the show earlier this week. In a statement issued on Saturday (May 20) Phillip, 61, confirmed he had left This Morning after more than 20 years.
He also said he had presented his final episode on Thursday, May 18. Holly has also since been missing from the daytime show.

Mum-of-three Holly also seems to have taken a break from Instagram, on which she is normally fairly active and usually posts almost daily. However she made a brief return to the platform on Wednesday to send a subtle message to her co-star.
A post from This Morning's official account featured a montage of photos of Dermot O'Leary on the show. Programme bosses wished Dermot a happy birthday as he turned 50 on Wednesday.
Alison Hammond also wished her pal Dermot happy birthday with a post on her page. Holly has "liked" both posts, clearly showing her appreciation for Dermot.
Holly last updated her own social media pages on Friday, May 18, when she shared a snap of herself modelling a Marks and Spencer dress.
