Holly and Phil make swipe at Boris Johnson over 'insincere' Partygate apology

Boris Johnson Holly Willoughby Partygate Phillip Schofield Deirdre

Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield couldn't resist commenting on Boris Johnson's Partygate apology when presenting This Morning.

The pair made a swipe at the Prime Minister and his apology for being found to have broken lockdown rules while presenting Wednesday's show. Boris Johnson apologised for his Partygate fine in the House of Commons yesterday - but again claimed he didn't know his own Covid rules.

He gave an "unreserved" apology - before immediately denying he had deliberately misled MPs when he said "all guidance was followed completely" in No10. Speaking on the ITV show, Phil referred to Mr Johnson's remarks as he said: "Following the Prime Minister's... apology in parliament for breaking his own lockdown laws, forgiveness is the subject of our phone-in today."
