Holly Willoughby got the cold shoulder from Phillip Schofield within moments of the pair appearing on screen on Wednesday's This Morning, after an unexpected start to the show.
Weeks on from the 'queue jump' scandal that dominated headlines for days, Holly and Phillip are in the middle of another week of fronting the ITV show; a week that could be a very fruitful one as This Morning is the red hot favourite to triumph in the Best Daytime category at the National Television Awards, with Alison Hammond also up for Best Presenter.
While their colleague Alison will go up against Ant and Dec for the accolade the Geordie hosts have won for 20 years in a row, Holly and Phillip didn't get enough votes to be on the shortlist this year. However, with This Morning tipped to win, they will almost certainly be on the winners' rostrum on Thursday night to give an acceptance speech.

Before the NTAs thought, there was the small matter of hosting another episode of This Morning, which started off with Phillip and Holly nowhere to be seen in the studio as viewers were treated to a performance from The Black Blues Brothers. After they danced to a medley of classics, energetically jumping into each others arms, Phillip and Holly came into shot to give them a rapturous round of applause.
Holly looked particularly excited by what she just witnessed, exclaiming: "Oh my goodness! That was so good!" She continued "Ahhh that was so good! It makes you just want to run and jump!" Motioning towards Phillip, she told her co-host: "Catch me," but he was having none of it, dismissing her suggestion as he responded: "Huh? Really?"
Seeming undeterred by Phillip's lack of interest, Holly added: "That was amazing. What a start to the show."
