Holly and Phil miss the start of This Morning after heavy night at NTAs

Alison Hammond introduced it instead

Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield arrived at the This Morning studios late after their NTA win last night.

Alison Hammond opened the show, saying she wasn’t sure where the usual hosts were, but she was on hand to take us through the morning.

Just then Holly and Phil came into the studios on motorbikes!

Although they’d managed to change their clothes this year, after the infamous 2016 incident where they turned up still wearing their gladrags from the night before, it was clear Phil was a little worse for wear.

It’s usually Holly who struggles, but a hungover Phil said: “I’m worse than you this year!”

Holly replied: “I’m liking this!” Although when Phil suggested she might be ready to get back on it, she said she wasn’t feeling that well.

They went on to thank everyone for voting and say how grateful they were.

“It really does mean so much,” Holly told viewers.

Referencing Ant and Dec’s win, which some felt was controversial given Ant’s had most of the year off, Holly said it was “so lovely, they’ve had a year of it.”

They told how it was an emotional night all round and that the atmosphere in the O2 was amazing – mainly because  some of the This Morning team had snuck in tequila!

Unfortunately for Phil, the first segment was a cooking one! The Hairy Dieters were making an English breakfast pizza.

It might have been just what Phil needed, but he didn’t find it easy at all, exclaiming to Holly: “I’m right on the ragged edge here.”

As the Bikers continued cooking, they said they were invited to the NTAs but didn’t go as they knew they were due on This Morning.

“How professional!” Phil quipped before asking them about their tour and saying: “I was hoping if I kept talking to you about the tour you’d stop cooking!”

Clearly suffering with the smells, Phil had to go over and stand with Alison at the side of the studio for a while.

He did manage to try a mouthful of pizza – let’s hope he doesn’t see it again!
