This Morning fans gobsmacked as Holly Willoughby forgets social distancing rule

This Morning’s star, Holly Willoughby, took everyone by surprise as she appeared to forget the two-metre social distancing rule when filming live.

The 39-year-old flabbergasted viewers as she glided towards her co-star Philip Scofield, completely forgetting government measures to prevent the spread of Covid-19.

Phil and Holly seemed to get caught up in the excitement of assisting with the scientific experiments that featured on today’s show.

Until today, the TV favourites had managed to successfully maintain the government’s two-metre social distancing rule.

Holly’s closeness, even took her co-host by surprise, a shocked Phil blurted: “Get back.”

In amongst of the fun, of discovering possible floating paperclips and making a hover board using a balloon, Holly managed to get carried away.

Noticing Holly’s blunder Phillip yelped: “Don’t be so close. Get back, get back.”

Realising she’d broken the rules, Holly headed back to her side of the studio giggling and later adding: “Of course, two metres.”

Holly’s honest mistake seemed to spark an online debate among spectators, who thought it was concerning that the pair came into such close proximity on the programme.

“Nice #SocialDistancing Holly and Phil”, remarked another.

Another remarked: “The whole country just freaked out at @thismorning and Holly forgetting about social distancing. Laughing at Schofe dashing away; they make my day.”
