This Morning's Craig Doyle and Josie Gibson have praised Holly Willoughby's highly anticipated return to television.
The revelation that the Dancing on Ice presenter will be gracing screens as the host of the revived game show You Bet! alongside Stephen Mulhern has been met with excitement.
Craig Doyle expressed his enthusiasm on Wednesday's episode, saying: "Holly is back! Fair play to you Holly, good to see you back on ITV."

While Sonia praised Holly's comeback, Josie also shared her eagerness to see her former colleague return to TV.
ITV viewers experienced a sense of loss last year when the 43-year-old stepped away from her presenting duties on the acclaimed programme.
Holly first became a part of the show in 2009, co-hosting with Phillip Schofield until their partnership ended in 2023.
Since departing, Holly has kept a low profile, with her role on this year's Dancing on Ice, which crowned Coronation Street actor Ryan Thomas as the winner, being a rare appearance.

Together, they will take the helm of the rebooted You Bet! a show that enjoyed immense popularity in the late 80s and throughout the 90s.
This autumn, ITV is set to entertain viewers with a spectacular display of epic challenges, mind-blowing feats, and star-studded participants.
Gearing up for the thrilling new programme, Holly exclaimed: "I'm so excited to be part of this iconic game show with the fabulous Stephen Mulhern.

If their predictions align with the outcome, the celebrities rack up points, corresponding with the portion of the audience who voted in agreement.
As the series concludes, the live studio audience will cast their final votes for their preferred challenger, with the victor taking home a handsome £10,000.
The celebrity with the highest score at the end will also earn the same amount for their chosen charity, while the star with the lowest score will have to face an entertaining final forfeit.
