What did Holly Willoughby say on This Morning?
Holly, This Morning co-host Phillip Schofield and guests discussed the concept.
“This week she has divided food fans again by suggesting breakfast of an egg on top of a leftover pizza,” Holly began.
Nigella’s Instagram post then appeared onscreen, which the panel – including Gyles Brandreth and Vanessa Feltz – discussed.
“[You] get your pizza from the delivery, you wait for it to go cold and then you pop an egg on it,” Holly said.
Phil replied: “It looks like something that’s just been run over by a car.”
Holly then joked: “It looks like something that’s come out of the bottom of a bin., I think.”
