Despite it being earlier on a Monday morning, Holly was in her usual bubbly mode as she giggled away with Phil.
Taken into account their professional working chemistry, the show’s host Piers Morgan asked the duo how they felt about being separated for the show.
Proving just how much her decision impacted him, Phil responded: ‘Holly phoned me up and said, “I’ve been offered this, what do you think?” and I said, “you have to take it!”‘
Making it known that their conversation about her heading to the jungle wasn’t all smooth sailing, Holly quipped that he had ‘laughed at her’ over the phone.
Defending himself, Phillip responded: ‘She’s scared of flies! And she’s going to Australia where there are all things!’
Succumbing to his worries, Holly admitted: ‘It’s going to be a total disaster! It’s going to be hard leaving Phil.’
When questioned is she knew who her replacement would be on This Morning, Holly replied: ‘I know who and he’s in very good hands.
‘Whenever I leave him I want to make sure he’s looked after and he’s with somebody and it’s all nice,’ she sweetly continued.
