ITV Holly Willoughby's emotional message on This Morning as lockdown looms

Holly Willoughby delivered an emotional message to viewers today as a second national lockdown looms.

Holly, 39, told This Morning viewers that she and her co-host Phillip Schofield would be there for them throughout the lockdown, just as they were the first time.

Today Holly and Philip, 58, hosted a phone-in about the new lockdown, which is set to come into force on Thursday.

From Thursday non-essential shops, bars and restaurants will be forced to close, but schools and colleges will remain open.

Several people called into the show to voice their fears about the new lockdown.

One man said he had experienced severe depression because of the first lockdown and said that his conversation on the show might be the only conversation he has today with another human.

Psychologist Emma Kenny offered some advice to the callers and said she sympathised with their plight.

But after she finished doling out her advice, Holly took the opportunity to give callers her own message.

Speaking directly to the camera Holly said : "We didn't go anywhere during the last lockdown and we're not going anywhere this time.

"We are here every morning for you. We did it last time and I know we can get through it this time."

Holly ended her message by saying she was sending each viewer "so much love."

*This Morning continues at 10am on ITV tomorrow
