During the mini films, Phil and Stephanie also spent some time exploring Cape Town – trying out local delicacies and walking through its vibrant markets.

The lucky pair also got to visit one of the country’s oldest wineries and they spent the afternoon sampling some of the finest they had on offer.

During a previous episode on This Morning, Phil's wife Stephanie started to cry as they saw their favourite animal in the wild.

Phil told the cameras: “And the day just kept getting better when Ranger Phillip made our dreams come true.

“Even we couldn’t anticipate how emotional it would be seeing our first tower of giraffes.”

The cameras then turned to show Stephanie weeping and, as she wiped away her tears, she told her husband: “I’m welling up.”

“I’m just going to start crying when we see them again.”

Phillip made no secret of his love of Giraffes throughout the episode, even stopping to buy a print of his favourite creatures.
