Phillip Schofield drives ice cream van into This Morning studio as he celebrates final day

Phillip Schofield drove his ice cream van into the This Morning studio as he celebrated his final day on the programme.

The 58-year-old will be heading off for his summer break from today with co-star Holly Willoughby, 39.

And unsurprisingly, Phil wanted to make the most of his exit by driving the van full of frozen treats into the studio.

Holly squealed as she told him to "watch where he was going".

"Good morning," Holly said as they arrived in the studio. "This is the thing of dreams!"

She then sorted Phil an ice cream, which went a little wrong and Phil exclaimed: "What the hell is that?!"

"Our ice cream van is here, we're celebrating a great series," Phil announced.

Ahead of his stunt, Phil shared a video of himself grinning by the van yesterday which was named 'Mister Creamy'.

"Yeah, I'm driving an ice cream van into work," Phil said.

He jokingly added: "Get your orders in now!"

However, there has been growing speculation that Holly and Phil, who have been hosting the show together since 2009, may not return in the autumn.

Editor Martin Frizell, who is credited with keeping Holly and Phil under control behind and in front of the camera, is reportedly set to quit the show.

"Phil and Holly actually listen to Martin. Who knows what they'd do if he left," a source told the Mail On Sunday.

But earlier this month, Phil addressed speculation that he was ditching ITV for BBC.

It was reported that the rival broadcaster had been attempting to lure him away from ITV with a multi-million pound offer when his contract ends in 2021.

But Phil has insisted that he isn't going anywhere soon.

A fan had tweeted him asking: "please please don't say that you and Holly are leaving this morning?"

Phillip replied: "Course not," followed by a crying with laughter emoji.

The pair usually return to the ITV daytime show in September when the six-week summer holiday ends.

*This Morning airs weekdays at 10am on ITV
