This Morning fans confused as Holly and Phil sit apart but were side by side at Wimbledon

This Morning viewers were left feeling rather confused on Tuesday morning as they tuned into the ITV daytime show.

Following the Prime Minister Boris Johnson's latest announcement on Monday 5 July, hosts Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield were keen to talk about 'Freedom Day' on Monday 19 July.

The TV duo are still sitting two metres apart when they host the show, but were allowed to sit side-by-side and take selfies at Wimbledon on Monday afternoon.

Speaking about the idea of no longer having to social distance, mum-of-three Holly commented: "There's a lot of excitement out there. Cautious excitement I think."

Phillip, 59, then said: "Also there's that, 'what's the right thing to do? What's the best thing to do?' We could sit side-by-side at Wimbledon yesterday," as Holly quickly interjected: "Outdoors!"

Dad-of-two Phillip continued: "But we can't sit side-by-side here because that was outdoors, and then they closed the roof so does that become indoors?"

"It's all very confusing," 40-year-old Holly replied, as Phillip said: "I just don't know!"

This Morning fans were shocked that Holly and Phil still had to sit apart and took to Twitter to comment.

"#ThisMorning what the point in @hollywills and @Schofe to sit apart on TV. Yet they sit together at #Wimbledon makes zero sense," one person posted.

Another added: "So how come you have to sit 2 meters apart in the #ThisMorning studio but can sit next to each other at Wimbledon."

A third tweeted: "Why are you sitting at a distance on This morning when you were at Wimbledon sitting together?! This show… #ThisMorning."

And a fourth penned: "Absolutely hilarious these two are sat so far apart after posting pics next to each other at Wimbledon."

She carried a cream handbag and sported a black face mask and matching sunglasses for the occasion.

Holly completed her look with a pair of beige wedges with ankle stripes tied into a bow.
