'Have you waxed?' Phillip Schofield leaves Holly Willoughby red-faced on This Morning
HOLLY WILLOUGHBY was left a little embarrassed on today's edition of This Morning when it appeared that co-host Phillip Schofield was stroking her leg.

The show opened with the pair sitting and discussing what viewers could expect when Phillip, 53, leant down to stroke guide dog-in-training Clover.
He wasn't looking where he was putting his hand when suddenly he looked underneath the table to make sure he was actually handling Clover rather than 34-year-old Holly's thigh.
"I'm just making sure I'm patting the dog and not your legs!" he exclaimed. Holly looked red-faced, but Phillip seemed relieved when he saw Clover playing with her Peppa Pig on the rug.
He then quipped to Holly: "Have you waxed?" The model and Celebrity juice host was sent into a fit of giggles by the incident and jokingly retorted: "Charming!"

Holly was dress in a lemon-coloured blouse with roll-up sleeves, which she had paired with a smart, black pencil skirt with a knee-length cut. She wore her dewy blonde locks down with a loose curl, and looked lovely as always.
Meanwhile, Clover appeared oblivious to what was happening above her and continued to roll her chew toy across the studio floor.
The pair of presenters were left in fits of laughter later on in the show when Ricky Gervais' friend and TV personality Karl Pilkington was on the programme to talk about his latest series of The Moaning of Life.

Phillip quizzes Karl about his art show
Karl explained that in the new series he would be venturing into the baffling world of art, including wearing flesh-coloured underpants and posing with a group of naked people positioned together to look like a lion.
He also revealed that he'd spent time with the Sparkle Bridge in New York, who re-shaped dog poo in an artistic way.
"They decided to brighten it up. They add props to it, it make sure you don't step in it," he said of the art group.
