This Morning's Holly and Phil poke fun at Vanessa Feltz over Matt Hancock fantasy

This Morning hosts Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield couldn't resist teasing Vanessa Feltz on Tuesday's show.

The TV duo invited Vanessa into the studio as they spoke to Nicola Thorp about Prime Minister Boris Johnson's latest announcement about 'Freedom Day' on July 19.

It's been confirmed that legal requirements to wear masks and social distance will be scrapped, and nightclubs and crowded events will be allowed to open without proof of Covid status on entry.

Referring to the new Health Minister Sajid Javid saying he will still carry a face mask with him, Vanessa said: "Sajid Javid says he's going to carry one with him, well he's the Health Minister, he's got to carry one with him."

"Well the last Health Secretary didn't," Phillip remarked, referring to Matt Hancock and the footage that recently emerged of him kissing his adviser Gina Coladangelo during the pandemic.

"Exactly! Well we all saw that, didn't we? We saw what happened there. I wouldn't mind a bit of that though, I've gotta say!" Vanessa replied.

"If we're gonna celebrate, let's celebrate," she continued, as a shocked Phillip then asked: "A bit of Matt Hancock?"

Looking flabbergasted, Vanessa fired back: "Not him! A bit of kissing up against the office wall, I wouldn't mind! Or something of that ilk!"

Phillip then tried to move the conversation on as mum-of-three Holly giggled in the background.

Vanessa continued: "Well if you're going to celebrate, celebrate, but not with him!"

"I can't get that out of my head now," Phillip remarked as he tried to continue hosting the show.

"That's not my fantasy!" Vanessa replied, before adding: "Nightmare possibly!"

But dad-of-two Phillip couldn't resist at making another dig and told 59-year-old Vanessa: "Listen, what you fantasise is entirely up to!"

This Morning airs weekdays at 10am on ITV.
