Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield drink a £1,000 whiskey on This Morning

WHISKEY-O-CLOCK couldn't come quick enough for This Morning's Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield, who swiftly necked back a spirit costing a whopping £1,000.

The duo were in high spirits after taking a sip of the pricey tipple in its mini bottle, which was one of just 10 ever produced.

Phil seemed eager to get his hands on the booze and didn't hesitate in taking a gulp as Holly encouraged him.

She questioned its super-expensive price tag before urging: "It's actually £1,000! Drink it!"

An animated Phil was left wide-eyed in delight after taking a sip as he gushed: "It's really smooth."

After learning the cost of the Drink By Dram product, Holly said she wouldn't have been able to enjoy it, while her co-host quickly responded: "I could!" and tucked the bottle in his pocket.

Holly delicately placed the Japanese liquor to her lips and savoured the taste as they juggled drinking with hosting a segment on Amazing Advent Calendars alongside Natalie Anderson.

Yet fans on Twitter quickly picked up on an Elf extra, who had also been treated to some of the booze.

He took a shot of the spirit and looked clearly tipsy in the background of the shots as the pair rounded up the show.
