Holly Willoughby shared a vintage throwback photograph of her This Morning co-presenter, Phillip Schofield in tribute to his career milestone.
In a post shared to her Instagram account, a young, dark-haired Phillip can be seen next to a boxy computer screen wearing a jumper which reads “Radio Rock”.
In a caption, Holly said that, “Today the TV oracle marks his 40th year in the business… for a long time I watched you and then for the last 15 years I have been lucky enough to sit alongside you.”
Holly thanked Phillip for teaching her “so much” and always being “patient” and “generous” with her. She finished the tribute by saying I had been an “honour to play a part in [his] TV story”, adding, “love you to bits,” with a red heart emoji.
Many of Holly’s followers and fans of This Morning left comments on the post. “Congratulations to you Phil what a lovely man,” wrote one supporter while another said, “Congrats Phillip here's to many more wonderful years on our Telly.”
Phillip Scofield has graced our screens and airwaves for four decades and has become somewhat of a national treasure. Phil and Holly have also become familiar faces as a duo, appearing in the living rooms of millions across the nation as co-presenters of ITV’s This Morning.
As well as their weekday appearances together, they also present Dancing on Ice, with Holly showcasing the incredible dresses she wears for live shows ahead of airing.
Most recently, Holly wore a stunning floor-length, off-the-shoulder white dress to present musicals week on the show.
