“Good luck sweetheart we have missed you and hope you're in a better place now,” wrote one in the comment section.

“you'll do fantastic hosting again this year, and a 20 year reunion with stephen, all of us will be watching to see you shine,” expressed another.

Her shock return to Instagram comes only weeks after it was announced that Willoughby will be presenting season 16 of the dancing competition.

The multi-hyphenate star previously announced her departure from This Morning after 14 years via a lengthy Instagram statement.

Her decision was influenced by safety concerns, after a man was charged by UK police for plotting kidnap and murder of the television personality.
