‘I didn’t push you!’ This Morning’s Holly Willoughby apologizes to Phillip Schofield after on-air tiff as he jokes she ‘threw him under a horse’ at Ascot
They are presenters of the ITV daytime show and best friends off-screen.
And on Wednesday’s episode of This Morning, Holly Willoughby apologized to Phillip Schofield during an on-air argument when he insisted she ‘threw him under a horse’ at Ascot.
The couple had been talking about horses when they got caught up in an argument over what exactly happened during the racetrack incident, with Holly adamant she “didn’t push” her co-star.
Forgiveness! On Wednesday’s episode of This Morning, Holly Willoughby apologized to Phillip Schofield during an on-air argument when he claimed she “threw him under a horse” at Ascot.
‘You threw me under one!’ Phil claimed, to which Holly insisted, ‘Not quite.’
“Not far away,” Phil argued, while Holly recalled the incident and said, “Where were we? We were at Ascot and then this horse reared up. It was instinctive to duck behind you – I didn’t throw you!’
“You grabbed me and pushed me to the horse,” Phil insisted, to which Holly claimed, “I didn’t push you!”
Still none of that, Phil declared: ‘Yes you did!’ Holly giggled as she interjected and told him, “I hid behind you.”
Eek! The couple were discussing horses when they got caught up in an argument about what happened during the racetrack incident, with Holly adamant she “didn’t push” her co-star
Whoops: Recalling the incident, Holly said, “Where were we? We were at Ascot and then this horse reared up. It was instinctive to duck behind you – I didn’t throw you!’
Phil didn’t budge from his stance and said, “You pushed me under the horse’s hooves,” to which Holly finally had to apologize and admit, “Well, I’m sorry.”
Grinning, Phil admitted, “I may have exaggerated a bit.”
The taped series aired on Wednesday, days after Holly stifled her laughter when Santa made a very X-rated joke during the Christmas Day episode of This Morning.
Holly spoke to Santa in the studio for the holiday special and mentioned that he needs a well-deserved day off on the 25th.
Innocent: “You grabbed me and pushed me to the horse,” Phil insisted, to which Holly claimed, “I didn’t push you!” but Phil declared, ‘Yes you did!’
“Obviously it’s a holiday for all of you, I presume?” Holly asked Santa, who was speaking live to the hosts from his grotto at the North Pole.
“Well no, we have a big task today,” Santa Claus told the host. “Mrs. Claus is making a Christmas dinner for everyone, for everyone – all the elves, the red carpet.
“I look forward to the pigs in blankets and Mrs. Claus loves a good stuffing.”
This resulted in Holly stopping herself from laughing while Phil gave the camera a funny look to show they got the sexual innuendo.
Apologies: Phil didn’t budge from his stance and said, “You pushed me under the horse’s hooves,” to which Holly finally had to apologize and admit, “Well, I’m sorry.”
