It was explained that Holly and Phil were now considered to be key workers after the government considered their show to be an “essential service” due to it’s important content.
Phillip added: “The government has classed us as an essential service for the time being to bring you the latest news on the virus.

The pair reassured spectators that they had cut down on behind-the-scenes staff to prevent the spread of the virus on set.
Holly added: “We’ve got a plan of what we’re doing today, but honestly that plan can go out of the window. If there’s anything that you’re watching, or you’ve seen something, or you’ve got any concerns, please get in touch.
“We’ve got experts, if they’re not in here we can contact them. We can put your questions to them and find out. We’re here for you so use us in the best possible way.”
Phil echoed his co-presenter, telling fans of the show: “We’re a pretty flexible show at the best of times, but we’ve never been more flexible than we are now.”
