Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield rehearse for This Morning’s live wedding
Presenting duo were suited and booted as they prepared for the daytime's show matrimonial special
MANY This Morning fans wrongly believe hosts Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield are married - but these pictures are the closest thing they'll get to see their fantasy come true.
The presenting duo were seen practising for the show's forthcoming WEDDING... but it's viewers getting hitched, not them.
In April the pair made a public plea for couples looking to say "I do" in front of the nation, later revealing Sonia Keating and Paul Brough - a couple who met at school - were going to be their programme's bride and groom.
Speaking after the programme, the presenters explained they met at nursery as toddlers but when Paul was diagnosed with MS, their hopes of getting married were put on hold.
The pair had no idea that they were the lucky couple until Holly and Phil told them that they had been selected - prompting the pair of them to burst in to tears.
But just because it's a TV wedding doesn't mean there's no dress rehearsal, and today Holly and Phil were seen looking more glam than normal as they worked with a camera team near their Southbank studios.
Holly looked sensational in a mottled dress with a baby pink duster coat - and Phil managed to coordinate perfectly with a pocketchief in the same hue.
It'll be the second time there's been a special day broadcast live on the daytime show.
The show’s official Twitter page shared a video using clips of Annie and Gareth’s big day, as Phillip Schofield called on more loved-up couples to get in touch ahead of their nuptials.
The caption read: “Did you know we’re throwing another live wedding? If you want it to be yours, here’s all the info you need.”
Meanwhile a post on the website read: “If you fancy Gok designing your wedding outfit, Phil Vickery creating your three-course wedding meal and Bryony Blake on the wedding make-up then read on.”

Couples are then asked to “upload a video of you and your partner telling us why you’d like to get married live on This Morning”, with a deadline of noon on Friday, April 28.
It comes after Annie and Gareth exchanged vows on a ship moored on the river opposite the ITV studio in London last year.
The bride, 40, who had been battling breast cancer, walked down the aisle in a dress designed by Gok Wan.
The groom arrived by boat, zooming down the Thames in scenes reminiscent of a James Bond movie.
He was greeted by Rylan Clark, who joined the couple’s guests to host a segment on the wedding ship.
Speaking shortly before his bride arrived, Gareth described the live wedding as “mind-blowing…” adding: “It’s just incredible.”
Holly and Phil watched the wedding via a live link from the studio, but they then left the building and headed across the river to join the fun.
They arrived on the ship and introduced the bride and groom to the room.
It's not known how the pair will be involved in the next lot of nuptials - but you can be sure they'll look the part.
