ITV's This Morning set to replace Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby next week

ITV's This Morning presenters are in for yet another shake up next week.

Normal hosts Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby will be absent from the nation's favourite morning talk show yet again.

Recently, Holly has been away for other filming commitments and Phillip tested positive for coronavirus meaning that both have had to spend time away from the show.

Both recently returned to work but it won't be lasting long as they are set to be off once again.

Various guest presenters have stepped in to fill their shoes in the recent absences including Rochelle Humes, Dermot O'Leary, Alison Hammond, Vernon Kay and Josie Gibson.

ITV have confirmed to the ECHO that next week's This Morning shows will be hosted by Dermot and Alison once again as Phil and Holly enjoy their half-term break.

The ITV spokesperson said: "Next week's This Morning will be hosted by Alison and Dermot for half term as Phil and Holly take their usual break."

Holly celebrated her 41st birthday live on Thursday's This Morning, as she and Phillip revealed to viewers watching at home that they'd be taking a break, with daily Spin to Win also being put on hold for a week.

Their announcement sparked speculation from fans online as to who'd be standing in for them this time.

Over the last year, it had been the job of Ruth Langsford and Eamonn Holmes to be holiday cover for Holly and Phillip, but Eamonn has since quit ITV for a job on GB News.

This Morning airs weekdays from 10am on ITV and the ITV Hub
