This Morning host Holly Willoughby laughed as she said viewers would probably be in touch after she made a covid joke during Wednesday's instalment of the ITV show.
Her co-host Phillip Schofield made his return to the iconic sofa, after being missing for more than a week while self-isolating after contracting coronavirus.
As she was reunited with Phil, Holly could barely contain her excitement.

The 40-year-old said: "Look who's back!", before Phillip said: "You realise now I am fully antibodied up, you could actually lick my face." [sic]
Holly said: "I'd be scared that somebody might come in and, like, pull us apart or something."
Phil explained he was "allegedly" covid-free for 90 days, after having repeatedly testing negative for the virus.
She then poked Phil's shoulder, before touching him repeatedly and stroking his chest.
Holly said: "That's my beginning bit, let's see if we get a very angry email now.
"We'll work up to licking".
The joke spans back to the beginning of social distancing guidelines, when Holly told Phil she would "lick his face" once the rules ended.
Fans of the show seemed to love the pair being back together.
Taking to Twitter, Helen Claydon said: "Welcome back Phillip, missed seeing your happy-go-lucky self"
Julie02905375 said: "Welcome back Phillip, you and Holly are magic together".
