With the National Television Awards just days away, attention will be on âThis Morningâ hosts Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield, after their antics at last yearâs bash saw them turn up for work the next day having not been home.
And it seems the pair will be painting the town red again at Wednesdayâs ceremony, as ITV daytime showâs resident chef Gino DâAcampo has revealed what theyâre really like on a night out.
Speaking to The Huffington Post UK, Gino joked: âA night out with them? Frankly, they are uncontrollable - and itâs all I can do to keep up.
âIâll warn all the services Iâm filming with - hospital, police, etc to make sure they are on special alert when Holly and Phil are on the town.â
Gino has a special relationship with the pair, who regularly take the mickey out of him during his cooking items, often descending into giggles in the process.
But he admitted heâs never afraid to dish it out too, explaining: âI usually give it right back to them, donât you think? We do have a laugh and we all get on so well - itâs always very spontaneous, you never know what will happen during live television.â
âThis Morningâ is nominated for Best Live Magazine programme at this yearâs NTAs, facing stiff competition from the likes of âLoose Womenâ and âThe One Showâ.
But having triumphed six years in a row, Gino believes they have 2017 in the bag too.
âWell personally I think the cooking items set âThis Morningâ apart from all the other contenders,â he said. âI think they are really special and make all the difference.â
Asked if he plans to top his 2011 pledge of cooking naked on the show if they do win the gong, he added: âWell, I canât get any more naked than I did before. And actually, the reason I did that and made the pledge was because, at the time, the show had never won the award...so I didnât think I would have to!â
