LEMONY FRESH Holly Willoughby stuns in yellow summer dress as she goes shopping in Portugal on break from This Morning

HOLLY Willoughby looked at her summery best in a stylish lemon dress on her family holiday in Portugal.

The This Morning star, who is currently on her summer break from the ITV daytime show with husband Dan and kids Harry, Belle and Chester, popped to outdoor shop Decathlon in the frilled frock.

She looked great in a yellow summer dress

She wore black shades and appeared to be makeup-free for the solo shopping jaunt.

Holly, wearing her hair in a shoulder-length blonde bob, emerged from the shop carrying a bag which she duly put in the boot of her car.

The 42-year-old will not return to This Morning's famous blue sofa until September.

When she does, the star will front the show with a revolving cast of co-hosts after ITV bosses decided not to spend big money on replacing Phillip Schofield.

Familiar faces such as Craig Doyle, Alison Hammond, Dermot O'Leary and Josie Gibson are all expected to be used.

A source told the Daily Mail: "The idea of finding the next Phil to sit next to Holly has been disregarded by This Morning's bosses. It will be Holly along with whichever rotating presenter is selected to join her. It will essentially be Holly's show.

"Bosses hope that they can put all of the Schofield scandal behind them and start concentrating on the content of the show rather than the twosome presenting it. At least this way there won't be any falling out.

"Holly is so excited about the plan, she loves Josie, Craig, Alison and Dermot. It's a happy ship and she made the decision not to quit but instead to return and keep things going while being at the helm. Holly is absolutely determined to head up the challenge to make the show a success again."

The move means that, should a fallout ever happen again between Holly and another co-host, a similar situation to her feud with Schofe would be avoided.

Holly escapes to Portugal every summer

It comes after it was revealed that Holly, who has presented This Morning for 13 years, is expected to sign a big money contract to remain on the show.

A source suggested that it's likely she will get paid more than her current salary of £700,000 a year on her new contract.

This Morning was thrown into disarray when it was revealed that Phillip was having an affair with a younger member of staff.
