The TV star added he was currently just suffering from a slightly sore throat.
This means his ITV shows could be thrown "into chaos" as he is forced to take time off to due to the virus.
He will now be ruled out of hosting This Morning for at least five days and he will need two negative lateral flows tests to be able to return to Dancing On Ice on Sunday.
Holly has also been absent from This Morning recently. Phillip has been joined by presenter Rochelle Humes on the ITV daytime show, in place of Holly.
In a recent episode, as the programme opened, Phillip and Rochelle sat side-by-side and interviewed a viral internet skater before explaining Holly's whereabouts.
After the initial interview, Phillip turned to the camera and said: “Rochelle is here, as you can see. Keeping Holly’s seat warm. She’s off with the Ice Man, making a show at the moment.”
Holly was given two weeks off the show - so she can present Wim Hof’s Superstar Survival alongside comedian Lee Mack.
Superstar Survival will see a whole host of famous faces take on Europe's harshest conditions in a bid to tackle their demons.
Holly will fly back to the UK at the weekends to film Dancing On Ice.
