Holly Willoughby surprises her fans as she returns to This Morning in a pre-recorded clip – two months after she resigned over a kidnapping and murder plot

Holly Willoughby stunned This Morning fans on Wednesday after returning to the show for a celebrity interview, albeit in a pre-recorded segment.

Willoughby left her role as presenter of the daytime flagship in October after an alleged plot to kidnap and murder the mother-of-three led to the arrest of a man from Harlow, Essex.

But she was back on ITV1 for the first time since her resignation as This Morning broadcast a festive compilation of clips from the last 12 months, including one with Willoughby, originally shown in July.

The presenter sat alongside co-host Craig Doyle on the show's famous sofa and interviewed Hollywood star Idina Menzel about her iconic role as Elsa in the animated Disney classic Frozen.
