Holly and Phil sank deeper and deeper into the sofa over the course of the Boutique Hotel Glacier Swiss Alps segment and were visibly bitter.
“I’m so jealous,” Phil admitted, and Holly added, “I’m dripping with envy. I don’t know what I’m most jealous of: the wine, the landscape, the Swiss chocolate, the cheese.’
And while some This Morning fans saw the fun side of the interaction, many viewers were left unimpressed as the hosts had just returned from their month-long winter break.
