Thursday's episode of 'This Morning' saw Holly Willoughby become a little emotional after a comment from Phillip Schofield. Filming the TV show has been a very different affair recently for the presenting duo, with social distancing measures meaning the usual lively team has become a skeleton staff.
The pair have been conducting interviews through phone and video calls with people from all over the country, instead of having any in-studio guests. Thursday morning saw them be joined by Vanessa Feltz as they discussed lockdown in the UK.
The conversation then turned to Holly and Phil's own experience of social distancing, and how their working lives have changed since the introduction of the new measures.
"I miss Vanessa not being in here," Holly said first before Phil added: "I miss everyone not being in here."
The 57-year-old then got a bit more sentimental and said: "Thank goodness we've got each other.
"You're a long way away but thank goodness we've got each other."
This became a bit too much for Holly who responded: "Oh my god, you're gonna make me cry!"
The hosts explained last week why they were still continuing to front the show despite changes to other ITV offerings such as the cancellation of Loose Women.
Phil told viewers that they are considered 'key workers', there to bring the latest news on the virus as well as offer advice from doctors and "to hopefully lighten the load as only This Morning knows how."
Holly also said: "Most importantly, we want you to know that we are here for you.
"We know that it is a really worrying time, but we want to answer your questions and take your calls and ultimately put your minds at rest."
