Phillip Schofield gushes over ITV This Morning co-star as he attends A-lister's Halloween party

Phillip Schofield had some very kind words for one of his This Morning co-stars as they attended an A-lister's Halloween party over the weekend. The presenter and the ITV daytime show's chef Clodagh McKenna were celebrating the annual event at a bash hosted by Richard E. Grant.

Taking to his Instagram Story, Phillip shared a look at his costume for the party, which came days ahead of his appearance on what will likely be a Halloween-themed version of This Morning on Monday (October 31).

He appeared in front of his millions of followers dressed as a ghostbuster from the classic 1984 American supernatural comedy. Taking to mirror selfie, showing him in his beige boiler suit and holding up his ghost-busting weapon, he wrote: "Who you gonna call?"

Before adding: "Clearly not," alongside a crying laughing emoji. A follow-up photo showed why he was dressed up for the yearly occasion. Posting a photo of actor Richard dressed as a vampire alongside a billowing firepit.

"Well I suddenly find that no one throws a Halloween party quite like @richard.e.grant!!" Phillip, 60, said. He was at the bash with Clodagh, who regularly appears on the ITV daytime show with him and Holly, and shared a selfie of the pair.

"@clodagh_meckenna you are the calming, caring friend we all need," he typed with a red heart before finding former Gavin and Stacey star Rob Brydon dressed as the icon that was, Elvis. "I love @robbrydon sooo much, and he has a spooky likeness to Elvis..." Phillip said.

And it must have been a good night as Phillip returned to his Instagram page on Sunday morning (October 30) with a selfie of himself in bed hiding under his crisp white quilt. He simply wrote alongside the image: "Ouch!!"

But he did get a surprise when he returned to his costume and found a sweet photobooth strip with pictures of himnself and Clodagh. Found this in my Ghostbusters costume pocket @clodagh_mckenna," he captioned the post to which the Irish chef replied: "The best partner in crime."

Clodagh's outing with Phillip comes after she spent some quality time with his 'bestie' Holly. The pair headed out to the opera last Thursday. Alongside a video of the performers taking their final bows to an impressed audience, Holly typed on her Instagram Story: "Magical night again from the @englishnationalopera Tosca!"

She then shared a follow-up post with her millions of followers, which featured a selfie of her and Irish chef Clodagh at the London Coliseum. Holly added a curtain effect to show the smiling pair appearing from behind a theatrical red curtain before writing: "Beautiful night @englishnationalopera with this beautiful lady @clodagh_mckenna."

Clodagh also shared a selfie of the pair enjoying the show, writing: "Tosca @englishnationalopera Magical, passionate, thrilling... what an incredible production." She then tagged Holly, 41, alongside a red love heart who then re-shared the post with another red heart."
