Office Etiquette | Holly Willoughby, This Morning, and the delicate balance of the back-to-work 'fanfare'

Holly Willoughby, This Morning, and the delicate balance of the back-to-work 'fanfare'

The 'stage' was set rather more like the next performance of Mamma Mia! live than someone's return to work - the outside entrance of the ITV building where This Morning is filmed, turned into a Greek trattoria, with Holly Willoughby entering to 'Dancing Queen', and shimmying with co-host Alison Hammond.

"We're back at work - what's going on?" said Alison Hammond. Indeed. What appeared to be going on was the entire team focusing on the person who had been away. 

Forgetting (if you can) the last time someone entered onto a stage to Dancing Queen was former PM Theresa May, the whole 'show' will have surely resonated with team leaders and those in HR, as reminiscent of 'that' member of staff who is all about their annual leave.
