Holly Willoughby is back in London after spending part of her summer in Portugal alongside her husband, Dan Baldwin, and their three children, Harry, 14, Belle, 12, and eight-year-old Chester.
The This Morning presenter announced her return to Blighty on her weekly Wylde Moon newsletter, which she sends to subscribers every Monday afternoon.
Although she has been holidaying in the Algarve since July, the 42-year-old revealed "it really has been a case of blink and you'll miss it this summer" for her family.
However, Holly is excited to be back in her £3 million London home as she is looking forward to hosting family and friends in her stunning garden, which boasts an incredible outdoor kitchen, over the Bank Holiday weekend – but not before making sure her kids are kitted out before school starts in September.

I can feel myself clinging on with every fibre of my being as conversations about school start to drip feed back into our life," she began her newsletter, before adding: "I even popped the obligatory September kit list on the fridge this morning having got the kids to try everything on to see what we need. I swear I only bought new football boots last term…their feet never stop growing!!"
The presenter, who is not due to return to This Morning until early September, continued: "We're not quite at the end just yet though and with the last Bank Holiday hurrah incoming, I've got everything crossed for a bit of late sunshine so we can see the summer out with family and friends in the back garden.

The mother-of-three has often shared photos taken inside her home and in her gorgeous garden, and this week delighted fans by revealing her favourite flowers and sharing a great décor tip!

When will Holly Willoughby return to This Morning?
Holly signed off on her annual summer break on July 6 and is expected to return to This Morning in September.
A rotating roster of presenters have stood in for the star during her absence, including Dermot O'Leary, Alison Hammond, Josie Gibson, Craig Doyle, Andi Peters and Rochelle Humes.

According to MailOnline, the duo will front the programme on Holly's first show back before Craig takes over from Alison for two days. The Birmingham-born presenter will then return to host the Friday show as usual, alongside Dermot.
The changes to This Morning's presenter line-up come after Phillip Schofield's departure in May. The broadcaster admitted to lying about an affair with a younger, male colleague in a statement released in June, which said he was "deeply sorry" for lying about the relationship and that while it was "unwise, but not illegal," it is now over.
