Holly Willoughby marched herself off the set of This Morning after Phillip Schofield's move live on the show. And fans reckon she broke a 'golden' TV rule. The duo were back fronting the ITV daytime programme on Thursday (January 26) for their last show of the week.
Early into the programme, Phillip, 60, was teasing what was to come as the pair shared how they would be interviewing actors Rupert Grint and Ben Aldridge, who were live in the studio to talk about their new thriller, Knock At The Cabin.
"What would you do if you had to make a decision that would affect life as we know it across the world?" the presenter asked as he looked down the camera. Holly, 41, then continued: "Well, that's the premise of the new film 'Knock at the Cabin' which asks one family to make an impossible choice."

It is then when Phillip decided to play a bit of a prank on his co-host and friend as he went on: "Before we find out more from its stars Rupert Grint and Ben Aldrich here’s a little bit of what to..." but instead of finishing the sentence he made a noise right into Holly's face, making her jump back away from him.
As the crew started to laugh, Phillip said with a smug grin: "I haven't done that for a while," while Holly stood with her hand to her mouth. "Ah, it's perfect," Phillip added as Holly let out a sigh. . He continued: “Here’s a little bit of what to expect for those of a nervous disposition."
"Oh, I’ll go away then," Holly declared before shouting: "Bye," as she waved and walked off behind the camera, leaving Phil laughing and telling his co-host to 'get a cushion' before the footage aired.
But This Morning fans are convinced Holly dropped - or nearly dropped - the 'F-bomb' due to her scare. @UKTVForever asked: "#thismorning Did Holly Just say the F Word??" @craggleprice tweeted: "Hahaha I swear holly was about to say fuck then lol #thismorning," to which @TraylorHolmes said: "I thought I actually heard it!"
@Ophelia_ButtsUK echoed: "I heard her say it." @LadyAnnabella17 added: "Two days in a row has Holly said 'f**k' ive on air, no apology either. #thismorning," alongside a string of crying laughing emojis.
