Holly Willoughby will make early return to This Morning – but in a totally different role

THIS Morning presenter Holly WIlloughby will make an early return to the ITV show - but there's a catch.

On Friday, August 25, Holly will be back on-screen despite being on her summer break.

But it's to promote her cameo on Midsomer Murders - filmed two years ago.

Holly has filmed a special behind the scenes look at her time on the iconic murder mystery drama.

It airs tomorrow from 10am on This Morning, with Holly set to return as host on September 4.

Speaking about her stint on Midsomer Murders, Holly said: "This truly was a dream come true.

"Thank you to the whole team at Midsomer Murders for making me so welcome and really looking after me… I loved every second.

"On Friday there is a behind the scenes look at what we got up to on @thismorning and then Sunday 8pm the episode, The Witches of Angels Rise broadcasts on ITV."

Giving a synopsis on the episode, Holly added: "Each year, the Midsomer village of Angel’s Rise hosts an annual Psychic Fayre in the vast and gothic Eddon Hall.

"Founded by the Saint-Stephens family in memory of their late daughter, the event attracts all manner of mediums, psychics and followers of the occult.

"When a body is found surrounded by ritual symbols on the eve of the gathering, Barnaby must step into a world of self-proclaimed witches to find the killer.

"Crime drama, starring Neil Dudgeon, with Tracy-Ann Oberman and Colin Salmon."

She was offered her role on the show during a live appearance on This Morning when the show's stars confessed they would love to have her on the programme.

Holly replied back in shock: "Are you serious? I mean, you're going to have to kill me off really quickly as I'm terrible at acting."

Speaking previously about her love for the show, Holly had admitted: "I've seen every episode since it started way back when."

Midsomer Murders returns to screens this Sunday on ITV1 and ITVX at 8pm.
