There will be a mix of partnerships including Josie and Craig, Rochelle and Andi, Josie and Vernon, Rochelle and Craig, Mollie and Craig, and Ruth and Rylan, before Rochelle and Vernon take over hosting duties before Holly and Phil's big return, reports The Mirror.
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."
Holly has previously heaped praise on Phil, insisting working together was "easy" because of their close friendship. Speaking about their friendship and close bond, Holly told The Mirror: "They're different shows and that's what's so nice about it. There's a real ease when we work together.
"It's not like you're going in like, oh we just need to find our feet or rhythm, it's an absolute given. It's nice to be doing something a bit different but still together."
Phil agreed, as he called Holly his "best mate", adding: "I agree. The lovely thing is, I get to spend even more time with my best mate. It's lovely and I adore Holly completely and absolutely and so to be able to joke around together in the mornings."
