This Morning's Holly Willoughby issues health update as she share co-host's gesture

Holly Willoughby thanked her This Morning co-star as she issued a health update.

The broadcaster was set to return from her Easter break this week to front ITV's flagship daytime programme. However, Holly was forced to miss the show after she contracted shingles.

The 42-year-old was replaced by Rochelle Humes as she recovers from the painful illness. Holly has taken to Instagram today to reveal Friday's host, Dermot O'Leary, has sent her a delicious treat in the post as she confirmed she is on the mend.
