Phil told Holly: “You realise I am now antibodied up. You could lick my face.”
If you didn’t know, Holly previously joked she would lick Phil’s face on their first This Morning once social distancing ends.
Holly said on today’s show: “I know, I know. I actually could. I’d be scared somebody might come in and pull us apart.
“You’re now like…”
Phil said: “I’m bulletproof for 90 days allegedly.”
Mum-of-three Holly then started touching Phil as he said: “Yeah, you can do that.”
Holly said: “That’s my beginning bit. Let’s see if we get a very angry email now!
“We’ll work up to licking,” as the pair burst into laughter.
Phil said: “We must point out, if you don’t know any of this conversation, ages ago, months ago Holly said that when we can finally sit together ‘I’m going to lick your face.'”
Holly added: “We’re still not officially allowed to are we?!”
What else did Phil and Holly say?
Phil replied, “I don’t think so,” to which Holly said, “Not yet. I feel like it’s soon”.
Viewers felt thrilled to have Holly and Phil back together on the show today.
