Caused by the same virus as chickenpox, the condition produces sore blisters on the body that tend to scab over after seven to 10 days.
Opening the show, Holly said: "It is nice to be back. Good to see you. I'm much better. I've had a wobbly week and a half. It's really not the nicest thing but yes I'm much better. All mended and back."
The pair then said how happy they were to see one another before cracking on with the programme, which began with a London Marathon runner who completed the course dressed as Captain Scarlett.
Last night mum-of-three Holly modelled a white dress with cropped sleeves from Spring/Summer collection for M&S ahead of her telly return.

While earlier in the day, she revealed she was finally well enough to venture outside, writing: "And I’m out of the house… the birds are putting on quite the show today… spring sounds beautiful."
The social updates came after Holly sparked fears she could quit This Morning after failing to return to work following her Easter break.
She was due to return to the show last week alongside Phillip, who himself returned after an extended break following his brother Timothy's child sex abuse conviction.
ITV drafted in Rochelle Hume to replace Holly, who announced she had contracted shingles, prompting fans to speculate about her future.
