THIS Morning viewers are ecstatic today as Philip Schofield has reunited with his Going Live co-host Sarah Greene for the first time in 24 years, while Holly Willoughby is off sick.

The show immediately kicked off with a reminiscent vibe by playing the theme tune to the popular eighties kids’ show.

As the iconic duo came onto screens Sarah, 58, asked 55-year-old Phillip: “Am I in a time warp?

“What’s weird is Phil, it doesn’t feel weird, does that make any sense?”

Joking about his hair, Phillip replied: “I just looked down and that’s not the same colour, but you look exactly the same”, to which Sarah joked, “Same bottle!”

And of course the pair couldn’t resist a joke about Phil’s puppet sidekick, Gordon the Gopher.

After hearing his squeaks and pretending to stamp on him, Phillip joked that he was “now in rehab as he couldn’t get any work.”

With the chemistry between the pair making it seem like they’d never been apart, viewers flooded Twitter with happy comments.

Going Live was broadcast on BBC One from 1987 and 1993, and the hosts have remained good friends ever since.

Speaking to Best magazine, she said: “I don’t know… We could host a This Morning/Going Live! mash-up to celebrate! Break Gordon the Gopher out of rehab, bring back Trevor and Simon.

“It’d be hilarious to co-host with Phillip. We’re still good friends.”

She added: “I went out with Phil and his wife, Steph, a few months ago, and we’re having dinner in a couple of weeks. He was fabulous to work with.”
