According to the bookmakers' latest odds, Holly Willoughby's break could turn into a permanent departure from This Morning.
Ladbrokes have given odds of 6/4 on the host not returning to the ITV show after the summer.
Alex Apati of Ladbrokes said: "Holly could well have sat on the This Morning sofa for the last time if the latest odds are anything to go by, with a summer exit looking all the more likely."
As she closed Thursday's episode with Craig Doyle, Holly didn't address her break, but simply told viewers: "See you, bye."
The reports came after fans noticed Holly was missing from the This Morning advert on Tuesday.

Instead, Holly was replaced by Alison Hammond and Dermot O'Leary, who have stepped in to present This Morning this week.
The 42-year-old, who has presented the show since 2009, was not included in ITV Careers' latest Twitter post about a job opening.
"This Morning is looking for a talented digital producer to join our team, creating high-quality short-form content across multiple platforms," the post read.
Holly's break from the show also comes after Holly confirmed her mother-in-law Sandra had died.

The presenter has been inundated with messages from her work colleagues and followers following her loss.
Taking to her Instagram account, Holly shared a picture of her mother-in-law along with the caption: "Sleep well Sandra… Nonna, Mother, Sister, friend…
"To know her was to know strength itself… Raising four children after losing her husband, she then lost a son and more recently her sister…
"Thank you for your guidance, advice and bottomless Prosecco. Thank you for raising the incredible man I’m married to…"
She added: "I see your strength everyday in our children… Be at peace…Love you."
Since Phillip Schofield's departure from This Morning, Holly has co-presented the show with a number of guest hosts.
Craig has become a staple on the ITV show as well as Dermot and Josie Gibson.
This Morning airs weekdays at 10am on ITV.
