Phillip Schofield ushered Josie Gibson for help as he declared 'man down' while hosting the latest edition of This Morning. The presenter was back at the helm of the ITV daytime show on Thursday (February 23) alongside Holly Willoughby for what is their last show of the week.
However, things momentarily took a turn when Holly, 42, was forced to rush off the set and leave Phillip, 60, solo. After reeling off what was still to come on the show, Phillip said: "Before all of that, let's head back to Birmingham," where Josie Gibson was checking out the Caravan & Camping Show at the NEC Birmingham.
Before he could finish, Holly turned away to cough, saying: "Excuse me, I knew that was coming." Phillip then asked: "Are you alright there? Bless you." But needing to cough again, Holly held up a finger and rushed off camera.
As Phillip looked around to see Holly had run to their famous sofa, he asked: "Are you coming back or should I crack on?" to which a struggling Holly replied: "I am, you crack on," as the camera panned out to show her sipping on her drink. "It's just gone down the wrong way. Excuse me. You carry on."
Concerned, Phillip then asked: "I'll carry on. You don't need any help?" As Holly gave him a thumbs up, he continued: "Okay, right then. We're going to go to our camping correspondent. Are you having the time of your life Josie?" He then instructed: "Talk quickly because we're man down, man down."
The camera then cut to Josie who was at Birmingham NEC exploring the latest camper vans and accessories on offer. While Holly was missing throughout Josie's segment, Phillip had to step in during a momentary technical outage
However, she did rejoin Phillip just seconds later and apologised to viewers for having to rush off earlier moments earlier.
And Holly was catching viewers' attention in her latest ensemble. The mum-of-three couple be seen rocking a floral patterned mini dress that boasted a plunging V, no sleeves and a cross back which she wore over a roll neck black jumper and paired with some staple black boots.
