Craig Doyle confessed that is it 'early days' as he tried to get in on Holly Willoughby's act as they joined forces once again on This Morning. The pair wrapped up their joint week-long hosting stint on the ITV daytime show on Thursday (June 29).
But despite regularly having a new co-host following the sudden and shock exit of Phillip Schofield, one thing has stayed the same and that's Holly's pre-show tradition.
Fans of the TV beauty are used to seeing her pose for the camera before each show as she teases what's to come and shares her much-wanted outfit details. Holly recently stopped posting on Instagram when she took a two-week break from the show after Phillip quit.

She extended her planned half-term break at the end of last month after the 61-year-old quit the show amid rumour of a feud between he pair behind the scenes before he stepped back from ITV altogether after admitting to lying about an "unwise but not illegal" affair with a younger ITV employee.
The last time Holly refrained from her unusual posting was last year following the death of Queen Elizabeth II. But since making her return to the show, and addressing the scandal involving her former friend and colleague, she has been back to regular posting before she appears on screen in This Morning's ITV studio from Monday to Thursday.
On Thursday, she took to Instagram before being seen on-screen to share a glimpse of her outfit for her last show of the week and shared details of where her fans and followers can get it from.
And the 42-year-old looked gorgeous in the white-based frock that had been adorned with blue floral patterns. The midi-length dress boasted adjustable straps that had been tied into bows, a straight neckline and a bodice that practically fitted to Holly's waist and curves.
Holly then paired the beautiful number with a pair of strappy nude heels and kept her trademark blonde locks styled in classic curls. "Morning Thursday… see you on @thismorning with @craigadoyle," she started the caption of her post to her 8.3 million followers before teasing what was to come on the show.
But Holly wasn't the only one posing up a storm backstage. Co-host Craig, 52, stole Holly's picture-taking spot, which appears to be in the studio's dressing rooms, and picked up one of her poses as he admitted to wanting to 'try it out'.
The snap uploaded to his 42.6K followers showed a smiling Craig striking a pose for the camera as he sported a stylish pale pink shirt and dark chinos before teaming his look with white trainers. Tagging the clothing brand Lululemon, Craig wrote in the caption: "Trying out @hollywilloughby corner.
He then added: "Early days @thismorning from 10am." And fans were quick to gush over the Irish broadcaster while also flooding him with the same remark.
