Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield down SHOTS live on This Morning following Best Daytime Show victory at TV Choice Awards

They are known to enjoy a tipple together. 

But This Morning hosts Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield took things to new levels on Tuesday as they downed shots following their victorious stint at the TV Choice Awards the previous night. 

The 35-year-old stunner was feeling cheeky as she joined her colleague and best pal, 54, in downing a small glass of Italian liquor Limoncello during a segment led by guest hosts Vicky Pattison and Ferne McCann.  

After the festivities of the previous night, Holly was quick to inform viewers that she and Phillip were very well-behaved and deserve to be applauded for how fresh they look. 

Yet it seemed the party was living on as the show shot to Italy where Ferne and Vicky visited a farm were lemon-based booze Limoncello is made and Holly and Phil were invited to taste the lemons used to make the alcohol.

As the party-loving reality stars enjoyed the spoils of their location, the screen shot back to the studio, where Holly and Phil opted to get in the spirit of things.

Phillip revealed they had raised a glass to the show's late agony aunt, Denise Robertson, who died in March: 'It was a great night. And we dedicated it to our Denise Robertson because it was her favourite award ceremony.'

'She loved going to the TV Choice Awards so it was only right and proper that we toasted her with a tiny tequila… We were very well behaved, just look at how well behaved we are now!'

The well behaved reference comes after the duo came into work in January in last night's clothes following the National TV Awards.

The night before the booze-soaked show, Holly arrived solo at The Dorchester Hotel for the annual awards, where she and Phil were rewarded for all their hard work on This Morning, when the show scooped The Best Daytime show award later on in the evening.

Though they faced steep competition from Loose Women, The Chase and Pointless. 

Earlier on in the day This Morning viewers flooded social media with praise for the return of Holly and her co-star Phillip Schofield.  

Sassy and chic: Hours before the show, Holly pulled out a sassy sartorial look for her arrival at Monday's TV Choice Awards

Adding a pair of towering black stilettos to the mix, the Brighton-born star ensured her pins were firmly in the limelight.

But they weren't expecting the gorgeous new addition to the ITV family, when Holly and Phil welcomed a fluffy new Labradoodle. 

The 10-week-old Guide Dog puppy - who is the half sister of resident This Morning puppy Clover - was named Luna by viewers and seemed to help brighten the back to school and end of summer woes.

'Holly and Phil are back on This Morning and everything is right with the world,' said one Twitter user. 

'Cannot explain how happy I am,' said another, while one fan added: 'I've missed Holly and Phillip so much.'

It seemed like some viewers were deliberately tuning back in to the breakfast show, to mark the return of the on-screen double act, who have been on holiday for seven weeks. 

'Lowkey glad Holly and Phillip are back...' said one fan. 'Can get my daily TM fix again'

Like reuniting with old friends, another said: 'Turning over to This Morning just because Holly and Phillip are back! Happy girl :) Missed you guys!' 

This week will see children all over the UK returning to school and Holly and Phil appeared to be offering a little light relief for the big occasion.

'The highlight of my day is when Holly and Phil fall about in fits of laughter on This Morning,' said one enthusiastic viewer. 

After all, the duo have barely been apart all summer, having accompanied their individual families on a joint holiday. 

At the start of the show, Holly said to Phil: 'I know you've had a good summer - I spent most it with you.' 

In August, Holly and Phil paid tribute to lovebirds Taylor Swift and Tom Hiddleston when they shared a playful photograph in 'I [HEART] P.S' and 'I [HEART] H.W' T-shirts.

'They were a present from Martin, our editor. It was our little nod to Taylor Swift and we thought we'd recreate that moment.'
