Turning to Phil, Rochelle, who is expected to fill Holly's shoes for three weeks in November, said: "I'll take good care of you, I promise. I'm excited that I can tell people now. There were rumours at the weekend and I didn't reply to any of my friends. Sorry! I'm doing it! Yeah, I'm excited!" Phil replied: "I'm really looking forward to it, it's going to be fabulous! We'll have a great time."

Rochelle teased: "I'll make sure I don't do anything naughty and there's something to come back to!" "There's always naughty things going on," laughed Holly, as Phil quipped: "I don't know what you mean."
