Holly Willoughby gags at the smell of haddock

The stomach-churning combination of fish, eggs and energetic dancing do not usually mix on a hangover, but Holly Willoughby had to contend with all of the above during Thursday’s edition of This Morning.

The presenter was feeling her way through the two-hour magazine show after spending the previous night enthusiastically downing ten margaritas at a wrap party thrown on behalf of Celebrity Juice.

And she appeared to be regretting her exuberant actions during This Morning’s obligatory cooking segment after joining co-host Phillip Schofield and resident chef Phil Vickery in the studio kitchen.



With pungent fish based Kedgeree at the top of the menu, a reluctant Holly, 38, admitted the overwhelming smell of Vickery's key ingredient was making her feel sick.

‘We had the Celebrity Juice wrap party last night,’ she explained. ‘And the smell of haddock in this studio is not helpful.’ 

Viewed as a light spring lunch, the dish – brought back to England by British colonials returning from India – also includes curry powder, rice, parsley and plenty of poached egg.

But Holly's admission that she was happy to eat egg in her current state prompted a worried Phil to step in. 

'What's the one thing I don’t like? I don’t like the white of an egg!' he whined, gesturing at the beleaguered chef. 

'He's making Kedgeree. I’ve walked over there and he went "Don’t look in there, don’t look in there, don’t look in there" – there’s great lumps of hard boiled egg!'
