Holly Willoughby supported by husband at NTAs as Philip Schofield makes low-key arrival

Holly Willoughby looked stunning as she arrived to the National Television Awards in London with her supportive husband Dan Baldwin by her side.

The 41 year old This Morning presenter was ever the belle of the ball in a dramatic satin strapless black dress which featured a fitted corset and flowing skirt.

She wore her blonde hair tied back into an elegant chignon and she added a pop of colour to the overall look with a slick of pink lipstick.

The mum of three could be seen linking arms with her husband of 15 years, Dan, 47, who is a TV producer, as he sported a black suit and white shirt, which he edged up with a pair of smart sneakers.


Inside the venue, Holly laughed and mingled with celebrity pals, such as Rochelle Humes, 33, who often fills in as a guest presenter on This Morning in the absence of its usual hosts.

Holly's longtime co-presenter Phillip Schofield, 60, cut a dapper figure on the red carpet as he brought his eldest daughter Molly, 26, as his date – arriving significantly after the rest of the This Morning gang.

He looked fantastic in a navy blue velvet jacket worn over a t-shirt of the same hue, whilst Molly coordinated with him in a lacy top and navy skirt.

Holly and Phillip both looked like they've put the recent queue-gate controversy firmly behind them, after they faced a huge backlash when they appeared to "jump the queue" to see the Queen Lying-in-State.

However the pair were not seen mingling together before the ceremony.

The duo received media accreditation to access Westminster Hall where the Queen's coffin lay for four days for the public to pay their respects, however Holly and Phil appeared to bypass people who had queued for up to 14 hours.

A petition to get them axed from their jobs on This Morning circulated online and it ended up reaching over 75,000 signatures, with ITV issuing a statement insisting that they were there on a work capacity.

Despite that, the pair appear to have ridden out the storm, however, it's said to have put a strain on their relationship, with Phillip becoming "snappy".

A source told OK! that the relationship between Holly and Phil has noticeably become "extremely awkward" over the past few weeks.

"The atmosphere in the This Morning studio is awful. You could cut the tension in the room with a knife," the source said.

"‘Queue-gate’ has made the relationship between Holly and Phil extremely awkward. He’s become a lot more snappy – on and off set – and Holly is at the end of her tether with his constant interruptions and abruptions."

The source continued: "The fact that the audience are now noticing it too indicates that big cracks are starting to show."
