This Morning's Phillip Schofield had special request rejected by Buckingham Palace

Phillip Schofield revealed how he had his own special request denied by the staff at Buckingham Palace as This Morning made a move to the royal residence. The presenter and co-host Holly Willoughby had the honour of hosting Tuesday's show from the Queen's London home.

The pair travelled to the landmark home in the capital to host the first part of the ITV daytime programme live ahead of the Queen's Platinum Jubilee celebrations next week. This show started with a revamped set of titles featuring the theme tune being played by a royal band. "This Morning by royal appointment," a message read on screen before the latter part of the message changed to "from Buckingham Palace."

A white taxi was then seen making its way through the gates and into the grounds of the palace before Holly and Phil could be heard talking before Holly, 41, let out a gasp as she stepped out of the car in a floral, pale yellow dress while her co-host looked dapper in a navy blue suit as they walked up the red carpet into the iconic building.
