Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield arrived in style on Wednesday’s This Morning, celebrating yet another National Television Awards win.

The leather-clad duo hitched a ride on motorbikes, clutching their NTA gong after their ninth triumph in a row.

Alison Hammond had been holding the fort while waiting for the tardy presenters, with Schofield admitting he was “worse than Willoughby this year”.

He said: “We’ve got to say we never take it for granted and we are so, so grateful. It means so much to us but it also means so much to our crew. So for our team here in the studio and back in the office, thank you. This is yours guys and you are absolutely the best.”

Willoughby added: “It was a really emotional night. It was just…people think you come here every year but it does mean so much and people say the nicest thing. The atmosphere was incredible and there was a really nice feeling for This Morning.

“There was just a lovely…” she began as she trailed off laughing, causing Schofield to joke that the star is “chatty when hungover”.

Willoughby, 37, admitted that she found it emotional when Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly accepted their award after a “hell of a year” before trying to get on with the rest of show.

Schofield struggled to present the food segment, joking: “Let’s crack on, as best we can. Oh god…what makes an English breakfast later, put it on top of a pizza. Can’t you do it later?”

The silver fox host looked close to being sick as he confessed that he tried to get the Hairy Bikers to stop mentioning food by talking about their tour.

On Tuesday night, the flagship ITV show beat Good Morning Britain to the Best Daytime gong, leaving Piers Morgan fuming in his seat.

In 2016 the TV duo turned up to work in their clothes from the night before having partied into the morning at Ant McPartlin's house.
