Phillip Schofield was in awe of Lorraine Kelly when she knocked on his dressing room door today.

Lorraine knocks on the door before entering and Phil turns in his chair, eyebrows raised like Holly Willoughby sit on his side.

The couple seems to have put on their makeup an hour ago This morning when Phil expressed shock at the arrival of Lorraine Kelly.

Then Phil appeared on the show and exclaimed, “Oh my! I have headphones in my pocket! I can’t hear a thing!”

Lorraine exclaimed: “40 years!”

Phil insists: “As I said there before, I forgot!”

“We can’t let it go,” she said. “We’re back – the way, the way back!

“You’re so kind and welcoming and easygoing – it’s like talking to a best friend… we used to laugh like that, we used to dress up as crazy things.”

Holly also appeared with him when she said that Phil was the one who pushed her to get the show host job with him on This Morning.

“I know that you’re in that school of thought,” Holly said.

She then paid tribute to her friend on Instagramwrote: “Today the TV prophet marks his 40th year in the business … I have been following you for a long time and the last 15 years I have been fortunate to sit with you.

“You’ve taught me so much, you’ve always been patient and generous with me… It’s an honor to play a part in your TV story… love you to bit @schofe.”
