Holly Willoughby sniffs Phillip Schofield’s armpit live on air

Giggling star was looking for a 'man smell'

TV presenter Holly Willoughby left This Morning viewers shocked as she sniffed her co-host Phillip Schofield’s armpit in a hilarious attempt to detect his “man smell”.

The rather intimate incident took place during a Father’s Day gift guide segment, which was hosted by Strictly Come Dancing professional Anton Du Beke.

As Anton presented a high-end male grooming set, Holly started opening up the products to see what they smelt like, asking Anton if they smelt of the “man smell”.

Holly said: “You know what I mean, that smell that is just ‘man’, all deodorants have it. Smell them and you’ll know what I mean!”

“What, like mine,” Phillip quipped, before lifting his arm so that Holly could take a sniff.
