Holly Willoughby reveals secret nod to Alison Hammond on ITV This Morning fans may not have noticed

Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield shared their delight as they received some special gifts from Alison Hammond.

The presenting duo were back at the helm of ITV's This Morning on Thursday (March 3) for their final show of the week.

One part of the show saw Holly and Phillip's co-star, and the ITV daytime show's Friday host, Alison Hammond heading off to Portugal to explore what the southern European country had to offer.

The 47-year-old presenter was filmed after traveling from Porto to Baltar where she was seen testing buggy racing in the countryside, checking out the local cuisine, and going out in search of the world’s best port - the drinking kind.

After watching Alison's latest film from her Portugal adventure, the show returned to Holly, 41, and Phillip, 59, in the studio where they happily shared some of the gifts she sent back for them.

"Thank you Alison," Phillip said before explaining the present Alison left for him at the ITV studios after he recently marked 40 years on the telly.

"I've got a Sandeman's bottle of old tawny port, and it’s 40 years old, so there you go," he explained as he showed off the fancy bottle of booze.

Holly wasn't left out and so she then showed off her gift and she had actually been wearing it the whole show. "And, Alison, I’m wearing my necklace today. My Holly necklace that you made for me."

The programme gave a close-up of the gold, bespoke necklace that featured Holly's name with two love hearts on either side.

"Look! How clever's that. That was on last week’s film, isn't that nice?" the mum-of-three remarked.

Phillip quipped in response: "I prefer mine," as Holly giggled and keeping hold of her new piece of jewellery added: "Well I prefer mine. And I can share yours too, whereas you can't share this!"
