HOLLY Willoughby has been told she must bare her soul in a career-defining return to TV tomorrow.
The presenter of This Morning is said to be "in turmoil" as she heads back to the sofa on the iconic daytime show.
But she has been warned she must confront the Phillip Schofield scandal head-on after a holiday in the Algarve.
Holly, 42, has been on an extended break since Phillip, 61, was forced to quit ITV after he admitted lying to his bosses and his co-hosts over an affair with a young male colleague.
A source said: "Whatever she does it's going to be very difficult. A lot of people are surprised she's determined to go back so soon but she must address the news.
"Over the weekend Holly and This Morning will look at all different options about what her return will look like.
"But she can't just breeze in like it's a normal Monday after a half-term holiday and not talk about Phillip or the news."
A source added: "Holly has previously released a statement saying she had been hurt that Phil had lied to her about his relationship with the young man.
"She must want to give her side.
"She knows how to put on a brave face but viewers will want to know more."
