This Morning star returns as Holly Willoughby says 'he's back'

A popular This Morning star has returned to the ITV programme after some time away prompting Holly Willoughby to share a two-word message on social media.

Holly has been presenting the show alongside various members of the show's "family" since her former co-star Phillip Schofield quit the show. Her last six instalments have seen her front the programme with Dermot O'Leary.

On Tuesday they were joined in the studio by celebrity chef Gino D'Acampo. Gino was a regular guest on the show but had not been seen on This Morning for some time.

The 47-year-old left Holly and Dermot squirming as he joked about what had happened with Mr Schofield. Gino asked whether he had missed "any news" over the past month upon his return.

When introducing himself and what delights he would be cooking up in the kitchen, Gino explained how he "wasn't allowed to make anything with aubergines" before he added: "Everything is under control, I'm back. Anything in the news I should know?"

Dermot then looked at Holly and joked: "This is the last time we will ever see Gino on This Morning."

On Tuesday evening Holly shared a clip of the interaction on her Instagram Story. Clearly taken aback by the situation she simply added: "He's back" and a series of shocked and laughing emojis.

This Morning airs weekdays at 10am on ITV and ITVX
