Holly Willoughby welcomed some surprise guests to the This Morning studio on Thursday, as her three children, Harry, Belle and Chester, paid her a visit.
The TV presenter, 42, who has been hosting the ITV daytime show with Joel Dommett this week, shared a sweet photograph on Instagram of her three children sitting on the iconic This Morning sofa while she chatted away to them.
Mum-of-three Holly, who shares her two sons and daughter with husband Dan Baldwin, revealed Harry, 13, Belle, 11, and eight year old Chester had visited her at work to kickstart their Easter break from school.
The proud mum wrote: "Favourite interview of the week… the kids popped into @thismorning as they have broken up from school, Soooo lovely having them there."
"They have grown so much since the last time they were here," Holly added, before going on to announce she's now taking two weeks off to spend Easter with her children.
She joked: "so that’s me for two weeks… I’m off to be with them and see if I can break the record for the most chocolate eggs consumed in 24 hours… wish me luck!"
Holly's post was flooded with sweet comments from her followers, with one writing: "So lovely, they’ll be so proud of their awesome mum," while a second added: "That smile just shows how incredible of a Mum you are… they’re lucky kids Hope you have the best time off. X".
Holly's children's visit to This Morning comes as the TV star fronted the show alongside Joel Dommett and Alison Hammond this week, instead of her usual co-host Phillip Schofield.
Phillip, 60, has been missing from the daytime show since Monday and it has since been confirmed he will not be returning next week after the co-hosts' usual Friday break. Alison, 48, and Dermot O'Leary, 49, host This Morning on Fridays.
Alison joined Holly on Monday and Tuesday's shows while Joel took the reigns on Wednesday and Thursday, marking the comedian's first time hosting This Morning.
Holly and Phil will now both be absent from the show for two weeks as they take time off to enjoy the Easter Break. During an ad-break on Thursday's show, Alison and Dermot revealed they will be fronting the programme in the pair's absence.
The presenting switch-up has widely been welcomed by fans, who couldn’t get enough of both Alison and Joel’s time on screen this week.
Taking to twitter throughout the week, multiple fans were quick to praise the chemistry and banter between both stars and existing host Holly, while also urged show bosses to consider allowing them to present more often.
One pleased fan wrote: "Well done to Joel on the past 2 days on #ThisMorning He was brill!" while another said: "Isn’t Joel a breath of fresh air #thismorning".
This Morning airs on weekdays on ITV1.
