Craig Doyle and Holly Willoughby
Speaking to Kate Thornton on her White Wine Question Time podcast, Craig said of This Morning: “I’ve been in and out of there for about a year. Then obviously what happened happened, before the summer, and I was able to help them out on that front… It’s great fun.
“It feels like proper old school telly, you know what I mean? And it’s very welcoming. Brilliant production team.”
He continued: “I love Holly. Holly Willoughby is an absolute GOAT [Greatest of all time]. She’s a very lovely, lovely human being and probably people need to realise that.”

Kate then said: “She really is. She’s also an excellent technical live presenter, and she never gets the props that she deserves on that front either. And, you know, full transparency. Holly is a proper, genuine friend of mine.”
In addition, Kate insisted that Holly is “technically fantastic”. Craig added that Holly is “one of the best I’ve ever worked with ever”.
He added: “And I didn’t know Holly beforehand. I’d met her once or twice, but as I said, I don’t really mix in any circles, had no prejudgment, nothing. I went in there and I only ever judge people by how they behave with me and what’s in front of me… I can spot an [bleep] from a very, very far distance. She is a wonderful person, a really, really kind, lovely person.”
Meanwhile, Holly made her return to This Morning on Monday (September 4).
