This Morning viewers Phillip Schofield and Holly Willouyghby had some big news for viewers who tuned into Monday's show. And it's all to do with the fact that the programme will soon be broadcasting live from Buckingham Palace.
Having been a main presenter on ITV's recent Jubilee celebration in honour of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth's 70 years on the throne, Phillip will join regular co-host Holly at the world famous location on Tuesday, May 24. The news was teased as two members of the London Fanfare Trumpets began playing and guest Gyles Brandreth walked through the studio doors to read out an exclusive invitation from Buckingham Palace.
The regular contributor read: "“Dear Mr Schofield and Ms Willoughby, you have been given a royal appointment for tomorrow, as we will be broadcasting live from Buckingham Palace to mark Her Majesty’s Platinum Jubilee. He added: "You will be taking a look back at the Queen’s magnificent 70 years of sovereign, with a host of special guests. We look forward to welcoming you live from 10 o’clock tomorrow morning as the celebrations begin at Buckingham Palace.”
