This Morning viewers will have noticed that the show’s usual hosts Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield have been missing from the sofa this Easter, with new hosts stepping in to present.
From the 4th of April, the regular presenters have been away, as they take their Easter break.
So, when will they be back? And which celebrities will replace them?
Here’s everything you need to know about This Morning’s Easter presenting schedule, and when Holly and Phil are set to return to the daytime show.
Why are Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield not on This Morning?
Holly and Phil are currently on their Easter breaks.
Holly is mum to three children – Harry, 12, Belle, 10, and Chester, seven – who will be on half term from school, and the presenter has been sharing some relaxing snaps from her time at Chessington World of Adventures Resort.

On making a return to the famous sofa and co-hosting with Vernon again, Josie said: “I still cannot believe I’ve even hosted This Morning! I feel very privileged, very honoured, and just can’t believe it’s happening to me. I’m very thankful to all the This Morning team for letting me come back and host.
“As for Vernon, when they said I’d be hosting with Vernon again I screamed with excitement! What a legend.”
Vernon added: “I had the most brilliant time hosting This Morning with Josie before Christmas and I’m chuffed to be asked back again. The show is such an institution for many and I’m really looking forward to seeing the team and interacting with the viewers again over Easter.”
When will Phil and Holly return to This Morning?
The presenting duo will be back to host the daytime show as usual on Tuesday 19th April 2022.
We’re sure their fans are eagerly anticipating their return!
