Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby (Ian West/PA)
Holly Willoughby warned This Morning viewers that she and co-star Phillip Schofield might be “a little blurry” on the show after the programme scored a top prize at the National Television Awards.
The programme was named best daytime show at the ceremony at the O2 arena in London on Tuesday night.
Willoughby shared a photograph on Instagram of herself and Schofield backstage clutching their award, as Schofield swigs from a hip flask.
She wrote: “Wow… what a night….THANK YOU!!!!!!! You are the best… we love doing the show and LOVE that you love it too… see you soon, although you may be a little blurry!”
The duo further warned of their hangover when a teaser for Wednesday’s show, aired 15 minutes before it began, showed the gong positioned between two fizzing glasses – presumably of rehydrating drinks – with two shaking hands reaching for them.
