There aren't many more popular TV pairings than Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby.
The presenters of This Morning have proven to be a brilliant match for each other when the cameras are rolling - but it might not have happened without a bit of interference from Phillip.
In fact, Holly insists that she owes him "everything".
"There's no way I would even have been considered for This Morning if it hadn't been for Phil," Holly said (via the Sunday Post).
"I know for a fact that he was the one that mentioned me. He pushed for me to get the job in the first place.
"I totally owe him everything.

"I know that when he's away or when he films other things, someone else steps in and that's great. But I can't imagine doing the show without him. I think I need him on that show... We are a total team."
Holly and Phillip have worked together since 2006, when they were paired up for ITV's Dancing on Ice.
And Phillip doesn't combine effortlessly with just anyone - he recently revealed which presenter he couldn't see alongside him on This Morning.
"I did a show called Test the Nation with Anne Robinson, who on that show was fabulous," he said.
"But I think it would be a tricky clash of personalities if we were to do something like this together - although her recent series which she's just done is genius. She's been doing that stuff for years. She's brilliant at it.
"But in my field, I don't think we would necessarily get on long-term."
This Morning airs weekdays on ITV.
