And another remarked: “Holly has a completely different energy with Joel ! Keep him on.”

Masked Singer presenter Joel will be on the show again tomorrow, while  Alison Hammond and Dermot O’Leary will return for their normal slot on Friday.

It is understood Phillip will then return to his usual presenting duties on Monday, April 3, 2023.

The presenter is missing from the daytime show while his brother stands trial accused of carrying out a sex act with a teenage boy.

Phil's younger brother Timothy Schofield, 54, has gone on trial.

He has been accused of 11 charges of interfering with a child.

Tim Schofield is understood to have carried out the attacks while working for Avon and Somerset Police.

The most serious charge involved a sex act with the teenager.

Other alleged offences include forcing the child to watch pornography and watch him while he “engaged in a sexual activity”.

The alleged offences took place between October 2016 and October 2019. He denies the charges.
