Holly Willoughby makes grim Ruth Langsford confession from backstage at ITV This Morning

Holly Willoughby has confessed to doing something rather grim behind Ruth Langsford's back on This Morning.

The TV presenter, who is currently off-air on her regular half-term break, left Alison Hammond in hysterics with the admission.

The pair, who hosted This Morning together for the first time earlier this month, were chatting on Holly's podcast, By The Light Of The Moon, which forms part of her Wylde Moon lifestyle brand.

The conversation delved into Alison's life before landing her job on This Morning as well as her home life and childhood.

But they also, of course, chatted about their shared lives on the ITV daytime show.

Talking about her This Morning glam team, Alison, 47, said: "They literally transform me. I literally rock up looking homeless at work…I look like a bag lady.

"I go into this room, there’s Michelle, there's Sarah and Mikey, and I come out looking like a Hollywood superstar.

"I love the clothes…I love the dressing room. I see what perfume Holly’s been using that week. I have a little spray, don’t tell her. I look at her shoes, I look at her clothes…"

Holly, 41, then jumped in and told her: "I haven’t had to use your toothbrush yet."

She then explained: "There was a time I had to text Ruth once, I went 'I'm so sorry I've just used your toothbrush.'"

She added: "I was desperate. I replaced it."

Alison let out one of her trademark cackles and said: "Was you desperate babes?"

Before telling her: "You can use my toothbrush anytime, just let me know," to which Holly replied: "Thanks, same, same."

Holly and Alison were branded a 'dream team' by fans when they joined forced to host This Morning earlier this month.

Alison was among the stars to step in when Phillip Schofield tested positive for coronavirus and was forced off the show and into isolation.

At the start of their debut show as a pair, Holly and Alison were seen stood in the ITV studio as Cyndi Lauper track, Girls Just Wanna Have Fun, blared out.

As Alison had a little boogie, Holly welcomed viewers to the show before declaring: "Girls just wanna have fun and I'm with the funest one around."

"Aww," Alison replied. "This was always going to happen, wasn't it Holly?"

Holly then took to Instagram with a sofa selfie of the pair, commenting to her millions of followers: "There she is… @alisonhammond55."

Alison then also shared her own post as the two women created a reel from the ITV studio which showed the pair getting show ready and throwing a few poses at the camera.

"Loved that!!! Love you," Holly replied before re-sharing the post to her Instagram Story.
