The Big Brother star has stepped into Holly's shoes on the ITV show for the day at it was over to Phillip to explain why. "Holly is taking her children to school today, they're all going back today."It's a staggered affair and it's quite complicated," he said. "So yes she’s taking the kids to school - as she should."Davina then complimented Holly, calling her a "good mummy" before admitting her nerves at presenting the show.

Schofe then turned to his new co-host and said: "Davina, it's lovely to see you, we've never done this together." "No, I don't think we have," Davina.
