Speaking on Tuesday’s This Morning, Holly told her co-star Phil that she had “the best weekend”.

She said: “I had the best weekend. Dan surprised me with some tickets to watch Elton John in Italy! I was star struck when I met him. He sounded incredible.

“We went to see the concert, and he dedicated a song to Dan and I. It was one of the most magical moments of my life ever! If anyone was filming it and captured that bit, I’d love to have it!”

It comes after Phil revealed on yesterday’s show that Holly was enjoying a long weekend.

He told viewers: “Holly is having a long weekend.”

He didn’t expand on his explanation, and instead introduced stand-in host, Rochelle.
