The actress said she wanted to see Phil in person and give him a hug, but she was sending her message all the way from Borneo.

The 84-year-old added: “I can’t come and give you a hug because I am in Borneo, but I will when I get back.”

Phil was gobsmacked at the “best ever” surprise and thanked Holly and the This Morning team.
