HOLLY Willoughby will be replaced by Josie Gibson on today's This Morning after she tested positive for Covid. Holly was forced to miss last night's Dancing on Ice semi final after catching the virus.

ITV have confirmed to The Sun that Josie, 37, will cover for Holly and step in alongside Phillip Schofield today from 10am. It is currently unclear whether Josie will host for the whole week or if other stand-ins will be drafted in.
