Holly Willoughby revealed that she only had 'half a glass of prosecco' at the National Television Awards due to her fear of needing to use the bathroom. The 42-year-old This Morning presenter was attending the event for the first time without her co-host Phillip Schofield, and managed to shake off any awkward moments after the show was booed.
Holly revealed the real reason why she didn't drink too much during the event when speaking to co-host Craig Doyle on ITV's breakfast programme the next day. She said, “I loved my dress last night and I love getting dressed up and all glammed up, but the problem with the dress is that it was a bit wiggly around the old thighs. So I had to go for a pee in the hotel, sorry for sharing so much right now but I am going to tell the truth, but I couldn’t pull it up to go for a pee and I was also tied in so tightly so nothing fell out of the top that I couldn’t pull it down and so I had to go in the hotel…and that was it.”
Poking fun at Holly's anecdote, Craig told her to ‘wait until you hit your 50s’ as she wouldn't be able to go ’10 minutes without needing a pee’. However, he did admit that she looked amazing, as did all of their This Morning colleagues.
After the event, Holly shared a snap from her journey home, digging into a late-night McDonald’s, with the caption “Say CHEESE”. When talking about the past year, Holly admitted to The Sun that it had been "up and down". She also said that the "goodwill" was there and that "people want things to move on".
Earlier this year, Phillip Schofield stepped away from ITV altogether after he admitted to lying about an affair with a younger colleague. This Morning airs weekdays from 10am on ITV1, and the National Television Awards is streaming on ITVX.
