Holly Willoughby called 'stubborn' on ITV This Morning as co-host laughs at her 'intelligent mind' analysis

Holly Willoughby appeared nervous as her handwriting and doodles were analysed on This Morning. The presenter and co-host Phillip Schofield were back fronting the ITV daytime show today when they were joined by a graphologist.

Tracey Trussell appeared live in the studio to speak to the presenting duo about her findings after taking a look at what happened when they put pen to paper.

Phillip, 60, was first and appeared slightly worried at the thought of Tracey having a copy of his notes from his This Morning script. But by way of comparison, he also explained to viewers that he had also given her a sample of his normal handwriting.

Comparing the two examples of Phillip's handwriting, Tracey said: "The word spacing on your capital letter sample is actually quite wide and all the letters are disconnected. You've got a very bright mind, you write really quickly because you're so intelligent and you're trying to get all of the thoughts out."

She then moved on to Holly, 41, as an example of her writing was shown on screen. Tracey said: "One of the stand out features of your handwriting is you've got strong rising base lines which shows tremendous spirit and you're very enthusiastic about everything that you do. You're very optimistic and upbeat and that's a lovely trait."

But the graphologist also explained that how Holly wrote the letter 'd' on her sample shows more things about her character, continuing: "There’s one interesting little thing here… the tepee shape shows that you can be quite stubborn." Laughing, Holly replied: "I can, just ask my husband!"

Moving onto their drawings, Tracey said to the mother-of-three: "Flowers are quite a popular doodle and they're all about your social life, your friendships. But yours is interesting because the middle bit shows a warm heart that sometimes gets a little bit anxious, you do worry about things sometimes because you've shaded it in."

But the next part appeared to surprise her co-star and friend. Tracey continued: "And the petals are quite sort of... they've got spiky tips which shows that you've got a very intelligent mind." Phillip could be heard snorting beside her before nodding along as a surprised Holly replied: "Oh, does it now?" then joking: "It's the only thing that does!"

Meanwhile, Phillip's doodle of a tree was a representation of himself, according to Tracy. But she also pointed out that the dad-of-two had drawn a fence around it which Tracy explained shows his protection around himself. She also revealed that Phillip's drawing of a maze shows that "there are inner struggles going on, inner battles, which is quite interesting," to which Phillip quipped: "I don’t know what you mean!"
