Speaking to Dr Ranj about trying to limit the spread of COVID-19 with good hand hygiene, the mum-of-three admitted: “I keep taking my rings off to moisturise and keep forgetting to put them back on so I’ve just given up now”.

Things comes after Holly admitted she was "desperate for a hug" during the show today.

Respecting the social distancing guidelines set out by the government, Holly, and Phil sat noticeably far away from each other when opening the show.

Phil, 57, told viewers: "Still here. But you might notice something a bit different as we are sitting far apart as per government guidelines."

Holly, 39, added: "Yes we are but do you know what, I am really looking forward to that moment just to be able to give you a big hug because it’s the one thing I think we really need right now.

"But we are here and trying to keep you company and lift spirits for people at home."
