Coronation Street SPOILER: Gemma flirts with Phillip Schofield!

They will be appearing on the soap this week

With just three days to go before Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield grace the cobbles of Weatherfield, the pair have shared a sneak peek of their cameo.

The telly duo will be guest starring in an episode of the ITV soap as part of Rosie Webster’s exit story on Friday, June 8.

During a soap segment on Tuesday’s This Morning, fans were able to watch a short preview clip of their starring roles in the ITV soap.

Soap queen Sharon Marshall asked them: “Shall we see you doing some acting?”

Looking slightly nervous, Holly replied: “Okay…”

Sharon said: “It’s alright Holly, it’s good!”

In the clip, Craig Tinker (Colson Smith) and Gemma Winter (Dolly-Rose Campbell) are seen being introduced to Phil and Holly before their big interview.

As Phil asks Gemma her name, she cheekily replies: “You can call me whatever you want.”

She adds: “I always thought you’d be, uh, bigger.”

As Phil pulls a face, Holly replies: “They all say that.”

When the clip finished, Phil and Holly were left giggling.

Phil said: “We shot that twice and the other version was, ‘I always thought you’d be taller.’ I thought that might be the one they were going to go with but they went with the more risque one.”

Sharon explained that Holly and Phil will be interviewing Craig, Gemma and Rosie (Helen Flanagan) after she “becomes famous” following her drugs bust. 

During the interview, Gemma takes a bit of a shine to Phil while Rosie praises Holly as a fashion icon.

But, in true Rosie style the interview doesn’t quite go as planned.

Pregnant actress Helen will be leaving the soap temporarily on maternity leave.

Helen is expecting her second child with her fiancé Scott Sinclair.

The actress recently told Loose Women that her exit scenes will be “hilarious.”

“I’m going out in very much a Rosie style – the storyline is hilarious,” she explained. “But I have enjoyed that about my character, doing comedy has been great.”
