Holly and Phil get a fit of giggles as they welcome the new This Morning puppy
The presenting duo returning to the ITV show after the summer break
THEY were only back on air a few minutes before Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield got into a fit of giggles on This Morning.
The presenting duo have just returned to the small screen from their summer break and started laughing as they welcomed a new puppy into the fold.
The duo explained that their resident dog Clover has gone off the train as a guide dog and so they've replaced her with another "dog with a purpose".
Holly couldn't contain her excitement as Phillip brought the adorable Labradoodle on set.
The pup looked like she was trying to wriggle out of Phillip's arms at one point and Holly went to fetch a toy but Phillip managed to settle her by scratching her ears.
Holly then explained that the beautiful puppy didn't have a name and viewers had to submit ideas of what to call her.
She said: "It must begin with the letter 'L'. Have two syllables, and not sound like any commands."
The blonde beauty then tried to come up with some ideas and suggested the names "Lovely" and "Licky" before Phil interjected: "Can you imagine shouting Licky across the park?!"
Viewers took to Twitter in their droves to suggest names for the gorgeous pup with Luna winning out in the end.
Holly said: "I love the name Luna, it's lovely and she's the colour of the moon."
Meanwhile, This Morning viewers were delighted to see the pair back on screen after their summer break.
Holly stunned in a beautiful navy dress and Phillip was matching in a light blue shirt.
One viewer wrote: "It's so good to have Holly and Phillip back on #ThisMorning. Nothing better than these two in the mornings!"
Another added: "#This Morning just isn't the same without Holly and Phil, so good to have them back!"
Someone else wrote: "Normal service has resumed!"
As the pair got back to their day job, they explained to viewers how they ended up wearing matching heart tshirts a la Taylor Swift and Tom Hiddleston while frolicking in the sea.
The TV hosts poked fun at the celebrity couple by wearing special customised tops emblazoned with each others' initials.
Phillip explained: "Our editor Martin gave us a present before we left, he gave us these tshirts and said: 'See if there's anything you can do with these'.
"And of course we did, it was a little nod to Taylor Swift and Tom Hiddleston."
Meanwhile, Holly kept fans updated on her son Chester's potty training.
She explained: "Chester, who turns two at the end of this month, one day decided he was done with the nappies.
"He kept pulling the tabs off, so I decided to potty train him and he's done it, the boy has done it.
"We are a nappy free zone apart from at night. He takes after his mother, he's very quick."
