This Morning presenter Holly Willoughby is due to return to the sofa on Monday alongside Josie Gibson as the ITV show continues to face controversy in the wake of Phillip Schofield’s departure.

Willoughby, 42, was pictured arriving at the studio after a two-week half-term break following the shock departure of her former co-host and his subsequent revelation of an affair with a younger ITV male employee.
