It's Holly's last day on This Morning before she heads down under for I'm A Celeb - how will Phil cope without her? Phillip Schofield has been a bit of a naughty colleague, revealing that he's looking forward to seeing co-presenter Holly Willoughby 'freak out' over the creepies and crawlies in Australia.
Holly will replace Ant McPartlin when she joins Dec Donnelly to present this year's series of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! But the mum-of-three admitted to being scared of wild creatures - or any animal for that matter - in her statement announcing her new presenting gig.
Now, Phil has admitted that he can't wait to see how his good pal will handle the jungle!
Referring to TV life coaches Nick and Eva Speakman, Phillip told the Daily Star, "It’s possible that the Speakmans could help but she hasn’t asked them, I don’t know why she hasn’t done that.
"But if the Speakmans cure Holly of her fear of flying creatures and bugs and anything like that then that would essentially spoil it for all of us. So there’s no way I’m going to take that suggestion to her."

Nigel Farage

Of course, Phil is only joking (we think...), and he's been very supportive of Holly's decision to take on the new role.
Speaking to Piers Morgan on Good Morning Britain earlier this month, he said, "Holly phoned me up saying, 'I've been offered this - what do you think?' And I said, 'You have to take it,' because it is amazing."
Although we don't know the official air date, we do know that the series is expected to return around mid-November.
