HOLLY Willoughby is set to miss three weeks of presenting This Morning.
The shaken TV star was said to be on "indefinite" leave as she recovers from an alleged kidnap threat against her.
It's now been revealed she won't return until after the school holiday half-term break.
Her first day back will likely be on Monday, October 30.
A source told The Mail on Sunday: "It's difficult to think about any kind of work right now, let alone when your job is to present a live television show.
"She needs to be around her nearest and dearest and take the right advice from the right people, too."
