Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield share awkward hug as she departs This Morning studio

Holly Willoughby left the This Morning studio today a bit earlier than usual to go and meet King Charles at Buckingham Palace. Holly left the ITV set early today, leaving Phillip Schofield to present the last half an hour of the show on his own but before she left, the pair had a bit of an awkward hug which left viewers talking.

The presenter said that she would be skipping out the studio earlier than usual for a very special event. She told viewers: "I had to put my posh dress on today because later on this afternoon I am heading to Buckingham Palace and there the King will be and we will get to introduce the award winners to the King so he can say well done."

Phillip said: "So you are off mid day-ish and I am holding the fort?" And just before she left the studio, Holly told Phil to ‘be good’ and they pair hugged as she gave him a kiss on the cheek.
