Phillip Schofield predicted a response from This Morning viewers - and he wasn't wrong. The presenter was back at the helm of the ITV daytime programme on Thursday (March 2) alongside Holly Willoughby as they appeared for their final show of the week.

Kicking off the penultimate This Morning of the week, Phillip, 60, and Holly, 42, were joined by their two guests for the latest 'This Morning's View' segment which sees them talking through the latest stories hitting the headlines as well as the quirkier tales making the news.

And during the segment, the foursome were served a risotto made with squirrel by chef Phil Vickery after a wildlife campaign group claimed grey squirrels should be served in restaurants.

Exmoor Squirrel Project have encouraged people to eat grey squirrels in a bid to help save the native red squirrel.
