Phillip Schofield reveals 'amazing' Christmas gift that Holly Willoughby bought him
He also opened up about buying gifts for his co-host
Author: Laura ThorntonPublished 22nd Dec 2018
As Christmas draws near, most people are either at home wrapping gifts or out panic buying as part of the last minute shop. There are those of us who buy for work colleagues as part of a 'secret santa', but what if your work colleague you see every day is also a dear friend, does it make buying a present even harder?
Phillip Schofield is one of those people who struggles, in this case to buy a gift for long time friend and co-host of hit ITV shows This Morning and Dancing on Ice, Holly Willoughby. Especially as it seems she's AMAZING at it!
In a recent interview with TV Times, Phillip revealed he always buys his This Morning co-host a present but that it's not an easy task. He said, “Yes, I’ve some ideas but Holly’s not easy to buy for, although she is a clever off-piste buyer."
He then went on to reveal the 'amazing' gift that she bought him one Christmas, “She once bought me an amazing contraption that turns big square ice cubes into round ice balls. It’s genius.”

Joe Swash, 2020
Joe Swash and Alex Murphy took home the 2020 trophy, despite Diversity's Peri Kiely being the bookies favourite since the beginning of the competition.
However, it wasn't all plain sailing for Joe throughout the competition. Not only did he find himself at the bottom of the leaderboard in week three and have an ear infection, he also had to swap professional dance partners after Alexandra Schauman fell and injured herself during rehearsals, forcing her to drop out of the show.
