This Morning's Holly Willoughby got a rather lovely surprise at the start of today's (February 7), and it seems she was a bit too overcome with emotion.
We'd be the same, to be honest.
As Holly and Phillip Schofield opened the show, the latter reminded his co-presenter (and viewers) that it's Holly's birthday this Sunday.
"Shall we start the presents already?" he suggested, Holly admitting that she was getting "emotional" as 'Happy Birthday' played.
However, the biggest surprise was to come as as box of Pomeranian puppies were wheeled in, Holly coming to tears as she exclaimed: "Oh my god that's the cutest thing I've ever seen!"
Phil revealed that she could play with the pups through the whole show, Holly saying: "And then obviously I have to give them back, but I will enjoy every second."

Phil also admitted he told her husband Dan, Holly joking that "he will not be fine with it", adding: "I can't believe you made me cry over a puppy! It's the best thing ever."
"That's the best start to the show we've ever had," she later declared, naming her chosen pup Bertie – and lucky for her, she got to hold him throughout the show.
Nope, we're not jealous in the slightest. Not one iota…
