Holly Willoughby red-faced after Phil embarrasses her during chat with 'crush'

Holly Willoughby was left red-faced after Phillip Schofield embarrassed her during an interview with her "crush".

The presenters had been speaking to actor Rupert Penry-Jones about his new summer film Love Sarah.

Towards the end of the interview, Phil couldn't resist pointing out that Holly fancied the actor.

Smirking, he said: "Holly was obviously-"

"Oh, here we go," she interjected. "You've done really well so far, Schofield."

As Rupert laughed, Phil feigned innocence as he said: "What? I don't know what you're talking about."

Phil then turned to the actor and joked: "But the restraining is still in place, Rupert. So don't worry, she is not allowed within two metres."

The pair then said goodbye and Holly crumpled up her script into a ball and threw it at Phil.

Holly declared: "You! Are so naughty!"

"I told you I was going to," Phil laughed.

"I said to him, 'Please don't embarrass me today and he went, 'Listen, I did it before and you got over that so you'll get over it again'," she told the camera.

"I said, 'What sort of friend does that?!'"

But Phil was stunned as he pointed out: "He's still on the line!"

Holly pleaded: "Oh, go away!"

As they both laughed, Holly added: "Now I'm embarrassed!"
