Holly Willoughby and Phil Schofield enjoy holiday together
Declan Donnelly, 43, seemingly couldn’t resist joining his fellow ITV presenters Holly Willoughby, 38, and Phillip Schofield, 57, on their summer break this year. The I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! star spent a great deal of time with the This Morning star last winter after they teamed up to host the reality show together for the first time due to Anthony McPartlin’s, 43, absence. Spilling about their reunion on The Chris Evans Breakfast Show, which was recorded in Portugal today, Dec gave listeners an insight into their antics in the holiday destination. The TV personality opened up about the holiday when host Chris Evans, 53, quizzed: “Is it an ITV thing? Is it part of your contracts that you get to come here all together in the sunshine?”
We all seem to just meet up in August.
Dec laughed as he replied: “Yeah absolutely, it’s brilliant. It’s all kind of happened organically.
“We all have just holidayed out here in the past and we all seem to just meet up in August.”
The Britain’s Got Talent presenter then gushed about the European country as he divulged: “We’ve been coming here for I reckon about 12 years.
“Since we did All Star Cup and around that time, we’ve been coming here at least once a year to play golf and it’s just brilliant.
“The sun is pretty much always out. The golf courses are brilliant, the people are fantastic, there’s no greater place.”
The presenters all got together with their other halves for dinner during the week, as Phillip Schofield served up his “legendary” Memphis ribs.
Phil’s wife Stephanie Lowe, Holly’s husband Dan Baldwin and Dec’s wife Ali Astall all joined in for the fun evening.
The This Morning favourite later shared a selfie of the group beaming for the camera outside their holiday villa.
He added the caption “Full of ribs,” in view of his two million Instagram followers.
Phillip shared a snap with his co-host on Instagram as they sat together before the movie started.
Holly wore a stylish black T-shirt and grey jacket while accessorising with several gold necklaces, while Phillip opted for a casual grey polo shirt and shorts combination.
The presenter described the moment by adding the caption: “With @hollywilloughby fam & friends.”(sic)
“Our guest on the sofa today is @romeshranga,” Phillip continued, uploading a wider shot to include the comedian, 41.
The ITV favourite then added: “(who never laughs in pics),” while the trio were pictured giggling together.
Romesh also posted the photo in view of his own 334,000 followers simply writing: “Bants with these two.”(sic)
