‘I didn’t push you!’ This Morning’s Holly Willoughby apologises to Phillip Schofield after on-air row as he insists she ‘threw him under a horse’ at Ascot
They’re anchors of the ITV daytime show, and best friends off screen.
And on Wednesday’s installment of This Morning, Holly Willoughby apologised to Phillip Schofield during an on-air argument as he insisted that she ‘threw him under a horse’ at Ascot.
The pair had been discussing horses when they became embroiled in a row over exactly what happened during the race course incident, with Holly adamant that she ‘didn’t push’ her co-star.
Sorry! On Wednesday’s installment of This Morning, Holly Willoughby apologised to Phillip Schofield during an on-air argument as he claimed that she ‘threw him under a horse’ at Ascot
‘You threw me under one!’ asserted Phil, to which Holly insisted: ‘Not quite.’
‘Not far off,’ argued Phil, while Holly recalled the incident, saying: ‘Where were we? We were at Ascot, and then this horse reared up. It was instinctive that I ducked behind you – I didn’t throw you!’
‘You grabbed me and pushed me towards the horse,’ insisted Phil, to which Holly maintained: ‘I didn’t push you!’
Still having none of it, Phil declared: ‘Yes you did!’ with Holly giggling as she interjected and told him: ‘I hid behind you.’
Eeek! The pair were discussing horses when they became embroiled in a row over what took place during the race course incident, with Holly adamant that she ‘didn’t push’ her co-star
Oops: Holly recalled the incident, saying: ‘Where were we? We were at Ascot, and then this horse reared up. It was instinctive that I ducked behind you – I didn’t throw you!’
Not budging on his stance, Phil stated: ‘You pushed me under the hooves of the horse,’ leaving Holly to finally apologise, conceding: ‘Well, I’m sorry.’
Smirking, Phil admitted: ‘I might have exaggerated a wee bit.’
The pre-recorded row was aired on Wednesday, days after Holly stifled her laughter as Father Christmas made a very X-rated joke during This Morning’s Christmas Day episode.
Holly was speaking to Santa in the studio for the festive special, and mentioned that he must be having a well-deserved day off on the 25th.
Innocent: ‘You grabbed me and pushed me towards the horse,’ insisted Phil, to which Holly maintained: ‘I didn’t push you!’ but Phil declared: ‘Yes you did!’
‘Obviously it’s a holiday day for all of you, I’d imagine?’ Holly asked Father Christmas, who spoke to the hosts live from his grotto in the North Pole.
‘Well no, we have a big do today,’ Santa told the host. ‘Mrs Claus is doing a Christmas dinner for all, for everyone – all the elves, the red carpet.
‘I’m looking forward to the pigs in blankets and Mrs Claus loves a good stuffing.’
This left Holly stopping herself from laughing, while Phil gave a funny stare to the camera to show they’d understood the sexual innuendo.
Apology: Not budging on his stance, Phil stated: ‘You pushed me under the hooves of the horse,’ leaving Holly to finally apologise, conceding: ‘Well, I’m sorry’
