Holly Willoughby appeared emotional as a huge announcement was made at the start of This Morning. The first show of the week kicked off with the usual titles before the presenter and co-host Phillip Schofield appeared live from the studio.
And there was no time to waste as Holly said: "Hello, welcome to Monday's This Morning. It is the start of a brand new week and we have a very exciting announcement...."
The camera then panned away from the duo, who were sat in their usual spot at the breakfast bar next to the studio kitchen, to show two royal guards either side of the ITV set's doors. Upon royal fanfare, Gyles Brandreth appeared, in another novelty jumper, and finally revealed the news.
