This Morning hosts Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby have delighted viewers with a big announcement today (5th September). The popular TV presenters started the episode by revealing that they had some good news to share. Holly said, “As you know, next month we will be celebrating our 30th birthday and to mark the occasion, BAFTA have decided to honour This Morning with a tribute event and a special award!

"It's to recognise the continuing success of the programme - celebrating its history and contributors from across its 30 years on air."

The presenters went on to explain that it was an honour given to This Morning, 'in recognition of the continuing success of its creative and innovative approach to daytime television production'. The programme has been credited with launching the careers of many well-known presenters, including the original presenters, Richard Madeley and Judy Finnigan, who presented from the show's original home on the Albert Dock in Liverpool.
