This Morning will be returning to Virgin Media Television due to popular demand.

The network confirmed the news on Thursday, as they announced a number of daytime schedule changes.

The chat show – presented by Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield – will be back on March 9. It will air on weekdays from 10am until 12.30pm.

Ireland’s longest-running breakfast TV show Ireland AM will run from 7am until 10am, Monday to Friday and from 9am on the weekends.

Virgin Media News will air from 12.30pm to 1.00pm, while The Elaine Show will get a makeover with a brand new set and will move to weekdays from 3pm until 4pm.

The news comes around five months after This Morning was taken off Virgin Media Television.

And fans were left in tears this morning by Holly and Phil’s sweet gesture to a viewer who was given the chance to play Dosh on your Doorstep.

Melissa had had a bit of a difficult year after being badly injured in a car accident, and had been waiting for the arrival of a mobility scooter.

After getting engaged to her partner of 10 years in December, Melissa explained that she was hoping to put any money she won towards their wedding.

Holly and Phil were so touched by her story that they told viewers they would cheat if needed to make sure that Melissa would get the cash – but she didn’t end up needing it, as she answered all the questions correctly.

The hosts then decided to double her prize pot – before revealing they had one more surprise in store for her. Alison Hammond told Holly and Phil that Melissa had been struggling to find her dream dress, as no shops had gotten back to her after finding out she is disabled.

“We’ll do it! Alison, she doesn’t need a shop we’ve got an amazing team down here who can do it for her. We’ll sort it, she can come here,” Phillip said.

“Come in, we’ll help you, we’ll help you,” Holly added.

We’re not crying, we’ve just got something in our eye…
