Holly Willoughby leaves Phillip Schofield lost for words as she breaks 'number one presenting rule'
manchestereveningnews.co.ukHolly Willoughby was quick to confess to her own mistake as she returned to host This Morning. The presenter was back at the helm of the ITV daytime show on Monday (April 25) alongside Phillip Schofield.
As usual, the pair introduced viewers to the show from the breakfast bar in the ITV studio and teased what was to come on the first show of the week before heading over the famous sofa where they sat down with Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer in his first in-studio appearance on the programme.
After chatting to Sir Keir, where he slammed 'rank misogyny' directed towards Ashton MP and Labour's deputy leader Angela Rayner and spoke about the on-going 'Partygate', Holly and Phil threw the show to an ad break.

Upon returning to the show a a few minutes later, Holly appeared to be unprepared to resume hosting and as the cameras started to roll, their was a brief pause before Holly quickly said: "And welcome back," before she burst out laughing.
"I was actually just watching us on the monitor," the 41-year-old confessed. "Then I was like 'oh my god I'm watching and we're actually on.'"
Phillip gave his co-host a joke telling off by saying: "You can't watch the tele if you're on it.," to which Holly replied: "I know, rule number one of the presenting handbook, I'm sorry".
Clearly lost for words at his co-host's blunder, the 60-year-old simply added: "Wow" as Holly continued to giggle before she said: "Happy Monday!" The pair then carried on with programme.
Later in the programme, Holly appeared to take a dig at former ITV co-star Piers Morgan ahead of the launch of his new TV show tonight.
