Rarely an episode of This Morning goes by without the pair erupting into giggles on air.
And Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby showed no signs of stopping on Sunday night’s Dancing On Ice, as they were left in stitches by a very cheeky joke.
When shown a throwback snap of himself on a bike in the 1970s, the silver-haired host, 55, claimed he was ‘at his happiest, astride the chopper’ – leaving his co-stars and viewers in hysterics.

The funny incident occurred when the hosts and judges were shown photos of themselves in the 70s, in honour of the show’s disco week.
Phil’s image depicted him on a chopper bike with his younger brother, both complete with the decade’s trademark thick hairstyle and brightly-coloured retro clothing.
Starting to chuckle, Holly commented: ‘This is the most 70s photo I have ever seen! Look you’ve got the flares going on there and the tank top and the chopper.’
Gaffe: Laughing himself at the photo, Phil said: ‘Yep that’s my brother on the back and that was when I was my most happiest…’ before trailing off, and adding: ‘…astride the chopper’
Can’t contain their laughter: Realising his gaffe, Holly began to giggle in front of cameras
In hysterics: Meanwhile judge Ashley Banjo burst into laughter, and Christopher Dean even dropped his head to the table
