Phil then shared a picture of his mum, who is based in Cornwall, grinning behind her face mask as she walked towards her son with her bags.

"Her Majesty has arrived," Phil captioned the picture followed by two joyful emojis.

Phil later posted a picture of the pair sharing a cuddle while wearing face masks.

He simply wrote: "Mum hug."

Phil told This Morning followers earlier this year that his mum had received both of her coronavirus vaccines.

Speaking to co-star Holly Willoughby, he said: "Mum was very lucky actually, she's not a billionaire, she's just down in Cornwall.

"She just happened to be on the list and they called her back, I think maybe towards the end of the period they might have some left over or whatever, and she got her second vaccine."
