Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield take a tumble at the National Television Awards as they poke fun at The Chase in hilarious stunt
The pair were in high spirits as they bagged the Best Live Magazine gong for This Morning
HOLLY Willoughby and Phillip Schofield were the life and soul of the party at the National Television Awards last night as they poked fun at The Chase in a hilarious stunt backstage.
The pair took part in a Facebook Live game for The Sun with incredible results.
The bubbly presenter and her partner in crime were happily posing with their Best Live Magazine gong for - before taking part in a special challenge.
The pair poked fun at hit game show The Chase during a Facebook Live session, and Holly was seen grabbing on to her co-host.
It came after Phillip and Holly joked they were planning on getting matching TATTOOS after this year's show.
The This Morning duo have a lot to celebrate this year after bagging the Best Live Magazine gong for their daytime telly show – beating out Loose Women among others for the gong.
But as the pair accepted their award they said: “We shamed ourselves last year, we're not going to do that again this year... We're going to be getting tattoos!”
Holly and Phil beamed as they led the team at this year’s NTAs- and stuck close by each other as they were faced with a barrage of cheeky comments about their drinking.
Phil then commented on Holly’s dress as he announced: “This dress is going to look amazing with piccalilli all over it!” – referencing last year’s shenanigans when she was forced to host This Morning in the same dress from the night before.
The duo found themselves in NTA history last partying the night away and not making it home – so presenting the show still drunk in their finery from the night before.
Holly’s perfect white dress was also ruined because she had stained it with the mucky yellow sauce.
Phil and Holly were left giggling as they were forced to explain themselves to the audience – who saw the funny side to their plight, especially as they were still clearly a little bit drunk.
During their acceptance speech, they also took a moment to commemorate their late co-star Denise Robertson, who died last March after losing her battle with cancer.
Phil said: “This time last year we had Denise Robertson on the stage with us and we really miss her. So this for Denise Robertson this year.”
