A third added: "Yah the dream time is back missed you both," alongside a red love heart emoji.
A host of familiar faces filled in for Holly and Phillip as they enjoyed their time away, Alison Hammond and Dermot O'Leary were the first to hold down the fort for the ITV regulars, kicking off the summer rota on July 11 and remained hosting for two weeks.
They then passed the reins to Josie Gibson and Craig Doyle for a week before Vernon Kay and Rochelle Humes took over.

The stars' return to the screen comes just as Holly opened up about her eldest son Harry, 12, who will be going back to school soon and shared a rare photo alongside him as they snuggled on the sofa.
The ITV host wrote: "All the stripes and all the feels… soaking up the last few moments before back to school," alongside an apple emoji.
In the heartwarming picture, Holly donned a striped linen dressing gown in grey and white, whilst harry lay on top of his mother facing away from the camera. The doting mother's early morning look matched the grey and white striped decorative cushions which surrounded the duo.
