Holly Willoughby held a piece of the moon as a special birthday treat on This Morning
The TV presenter is 41 today (10.02.22) and the show and her co-host Phillip Schofield - who returned to the programme yesterday (09.02.22) following his coronavirus isolation period - pulled out all the stops for the star's big day.
Holly was allowed to hold a piece of the moon thanks to The Space Centre in Leicester, and she said: "I can't believe it ... thank you. Look! I have the moon in my hand. That's amazing.
"It almost has like a green rainbow in there.
"I can't think of a more incredible gift. That was really special."
Holly and Phil also made a special cocktail to celebrate her 41st birthday.
A mixologist from Brown's in Mayfair explained how to make 'The Willoughby', which featured all her favourite ingredients including tequila, fresh lemon, champagne and rhubarb cordial.
Phillip laughed: "During isolation, I got a phone call to ask what are your favourite things!"
Holly replied: "I'm definitely better at drinking them than making them ... but that is so nice, thank you."
As the pair reunited on yesterday's show, Phillip told Holly she could "lick his face".
He said: "You realise I am now fully anti-bodied up – you could now lick my face!"
Holly laughed and said she "actually could", although she was worried about any backlash from viewers during the pandemic.
She quipped: "I know! I actually could! I'd be scared somebody might come in and pull us apart or something. I mean, you're now..."
Phil added: "I’m bullet proof for 90 days – allegedly."
Holly has also recently had some time off from the show after spending three weeks in Italy filming 'Wim Hof's Superstar Survival' with Lee Mack.
