Philip Schofield tells Holly Willoughby to 'shut your face' after cheeky joke falls flat during Dancing On Ice

Philip Schofield was quick to hit back at his co-presenter Holly Willoughby after she made a cheeky joke during Sunday night's episode of Dancing On Ice.

This week's show aimed to celebrate musical "icons" and saw contestants pay homage to stars including Robbie Williams, Beyonce and Billie Eilish.

While the two presenters were discussing 80s star George Michael ahead of an enthusiastic performance by Darren Harriott and Tippy Packard, Holly took a swipe at Phil's age.

Holly said: "Our next couple are taking us back to the 80s when the colours were loud and the hair was huge."

Phil replied: "But of course, we don't remember that."

In a light-hearted dig at the 60-year-old presenter, Holly responded: Errrm! But..." and pointed at Phil while pulling a face to suggest her co-star definitely did remember that era.

But Phil didn't waste any time in defending himself and playfully said: "Shut your face!"

The audience burst into laughter and Phil smoothly went on to announce the duo's performance to George Michael's track 'I'm Your Man.'
