Holly, 40, replied: “Don’t you leave me.”
“I may get up and go” Phillip added.
“I’ll be very nice to you today,” Holly joked.
The pair broke into fits of giggles before Phillip said: “What a morning eh.”
Good Morning Britain’s weatherman Alex Beresford confronted Piers Morgan over his treatment of Meghan Markle on Tuesday’s show, leading the host to walk off set.

Referring to Meghan, Alex, 40, said: “I understand that you do not like Meghan Markle and you have made it clear so many times – so many times on this programme.
“And I understand you had a personal relationship with Meghan Markle and she cut you off. She is entitled to cut you off if she wants to.
“Has she said anything about you since she cut you off? Now, I do not think she has. But yet you continue to trash her.”

Piers suddenly climbed out of his seat and stormed out of the studio, refusing to engage in the conversation.
He fumed: “I’m done with this.”
“No, no, no, that is pathetic,” responded Alex. “Absolutely diabolical behaviour.”
Piers kept walking, moving towards the backstage zone of the studio while saying: “Sorry, can’t do this.”
After Piers exited the studio, Alex continued to make his point, saying: “Piers spouts off on a regular basis.”
Over 10 minutes later, Piers finally returned to the show, finally agreeing to hold a conversation with his co-star Alex about the bombshell Oprah interview.
Trying to bring about a civil conversation on the subject, Susanna said: “Clearly what that interview has done is it has raised a lot of emotion and a lot of tension.”
