ITV has confirmed that Josie Gibson will be standing in for Holly Willoughby on This Morning on Monday after it was announced that the mum-of-three had contracted coronavirus on Sunday.
Josie will be hosting alongside Phillip Schofield, who she previously covered for when he was isolating with the virus back in February.

While it is no longer required by law to isolate following a positive test in the UK, the current government advice recommends the public to stay at home and avoid contact with other people to help reduce the chance of passing COVID-19 on to others.
Holly's positive COVID diagnosis comes not long after Phillip was forced to take a step back from presenting duties after contracting the virus last month. The dad-of-two missed one Dancing on Ice show as well as over a week of This Morning episodes.

Addressing the absence of his presenting partner via Instagram, Phillip shared a photo of the pair alongside a sweet message: "Gutted that my mate won't be with me on @dancingonice tonight."
He added: "Get well soon darlin," followed by a love-heart emoji.
The broadcaster then shared a video from backstage, showing his name on a marker on the studio floor, before zooming in on Holly's and panning to an empty spot next to him.

Phillip was met with complaints from viewers, who questioned why the This Morning star was hosting the show alone, giving that Stephen Mulhern stepped in to present alongside Holly when Phillip was absent.
A spokesperson from ITV soon explained that the show didn't have enough time to find a replacement for Holly: "It's because it was too short notice which wasn't the case when Phillip was unable to host the show."
This Morning airs on weekdays from 10am on ITV.
