Phillip Schofield cringes over 1984 throwback video of him wearing huge retro glasses
He was compared to Brains from Thunderbirds after the clip was shown on This Morning
PHILLIP Schofield called Holly Willoughby an "utter s***e" after she shared an epic throwback video of him with This Morning viewers.
Holly described the 33-year-old video as "the best footage I have ever seen" as she held up her phone to play the it for the camera.
Phillip held his face in his hands as the footage of him in a tuxedo with big hair and even bigger glasses played out for everyone to see.
He can be heard saying: "Good evening and welcome to the 1984 New Zealand Music Awards" and once the short clip ended, Holly said: "How good is that?!"
She added: "Those glasses!"
Phillip joked: "Like a re-entry shield" which made Holly squeal with laughter.
He then conceded it was "one of the best" throwbacks he'd ever seen of himself.
The jokes didn't end there though, as after the break viewers had sent in their thoughts on the footage, which made Holly laugh even more.
Between giggles, she said: "Honestly you lot are so brilliant.
"Somebody said he looks like Brains, how high is his hair... if you don't know what I'm talking about we're going to play it again properly.
While Phil looked alarmed and cried out "No, no no!", a still from the awards ceremony appeared on screen to show him off in all his glory.
A picture of Brains from Thunderbirds then followed straight after, making the presenters burst out laughing even harder.
After lying back on the sofa to giggle, Phil sat up and conceded, saying: "Oh alright you win."
Holly added: "See I love you [the viewers], you're keeping us entertained today".
Phil then tweeted Holly live on air, but she warned him not to read it out.
It was clear to see why, as he simply wrote: "You utter s***e!! @hollywills" before adding: "love from Brains" with a series of crying with laughter emojis.
Viewers were loving the banter between the pair, with one writing on Twitter: "It's people like @Schofe and @hollywills that make the day brighter - keep up the good work brains and co".
Others commented on Phil's look, with one writing: "Lol just seen it. lovely glasses. should've gone to specsavers" while another simply wrote: "Looking smooth".
