ITV This Morning's Holly Willoughby taken aback by new co-host's pre-show routine

Holly Willoughby was in stitches as her new This Morning co-host shared his routine.

The mum-of-three returned to front today's edition of ITV's flagship daytime programme. The 42-year-old is aiming to take the show into the next chapter in the wake of the Phillip Schofield scandal.

She has been joined by a rotating team of presenters since she returned to the show after her former co-host's exit. Holly fronted Monday's episode alongside Dermot O'Leary.

The former X Factor host was busy over the weekend as he fronted last night's Soccer Aid broadcast for ITV. He made the journey from Old Trafford to be back in the This Morning studio today.

Holly was thrilled to be joined by Dermot and was taken aback by how he made sure he was ready for today's broadcast. She said: "This is how Dermot wakes up after only having three hours sleep."

Holly can be heard in fits of laughter as Dermot dunks his head in ice cold water in the clip shared with her 8.3m Instagram followers.

Holly earlier said she was delighted to front the show with Dermot today. She said: "Morning Monday… see you at 10am on @thismorning with the lovely @dermotoleary Also so happy to welcome back @jamesmartinchef to the kitchen today… #hwstyle dress by @newlook".

ITV bosses have confirmed Mr Schofield's vacant role would be filled by "members of the This Morning family". Holly was initially joined by Josie Gibson to present the show, before Craig Doyle stepped in for the second half of the week.
