Holly's co-host Phillip Schofield explained her absence at the start of Monday's show, telling viewers: "Ruth (Langford) is standing in today… before we go any further he is alright. Chester, her youngest son, yesterday afternoon fell over and banged his head. "He's got a very nasty cut on his head. They dressed it overnight and today he needs to go back into hospital to get stitches, so that's where Holly is. He's absolutely fine, he was playing afterwards, but it is a nasty cut."
