Phillip Schofield seems starstruck after spending night with VERY famous faces

Holly & Phil are enjoying a half-term holiday from This Morning

| Updated:

Fans have been in uproar over Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield taking a half-term break from This Morning this week.

While they enjoy some time off, replacement hosts Ben Shephard and Amanda Holden have been drafted in to hold down the fort.

Which begs the question, what are Holly and Phil up to instead?!

Well, in Phil’s case, the answer is enjoying a big (and very glamorous) night out without having to worry about an early morning alarm clock!

The 52-year-old spent Monday night partying at the swanky Best Fifa Football Awards in London with the world’s most famous footballers.

Now, Phil may be an icon in the world of TV, but when it comes to the beautiful game… well, apparently he’s not so up to speed.

He posted a nervous looking selfie to Snapchat ahead of the bash, quipping: “Off to the football awards to support a mate… I know fa about football.”

Another selfie from the green carpet was labelled, “I literally have no idea!”

Thankfully, it wasn’t long before Schofe found himself a familiar face, bumping into Frank Lampard, who is married to Phil’s fellow ITV presenter Christine.

Then it was off to his front row balcony seat (very cool!) to watch the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi up on stage.

It seems Phillip was a little bit starstruck with Ronaldo in particular, zooming in on him in the audience and on stage.

Despite knowing nothing about footie, all in all, it seems Phil had a good time!

He told fans: “What a night!”

And, as we all know, a good night on the town deserves a little reward.

But rather than heading off to McDonald’s or the kebab shop, Phillip treated himself to some rather yummy looking cheese on toast.

“Awards done… now the star of this part of the evening will be cheese on toast!” he joked to fans.

Good choice!

Usually, if Phil’s out on a big night out during the week he has to get up for work the next day. Hello National TV Awards and This Morning hangovers with Holly!

But, as he’s off on his half-term break from This Morning, Phil got a nice little lie in on Tuesday while Ben and Amanda hit the air.

Phil’s final Snapchat update showed him snuggled up under the covers enjoying a few extra hours of kip.

Enjoy your rest, Pip!

One question, though: who took the picture?!
