I have just had the longest summer holidays ever, all thanks to my new This Morning partner Holly. Successive This Morning hosts have all thanked Richard & Judy for negotiating the school holidays off, at times it’s a privilege that has looked as if it might be taken away, but we’ve always worked very hard to keep it! To that end the summer holidays are a fantastic time to recharge the batteries and spend valuable time with the family. This year, because of Holly’s filming commitments to the Xtra Factor, I got an extra two delicious weeks. It has meant that I’ve done all those jobs around the house that I’ve been putting off. I have cleared the pond of blanket weed, taken a tonne of old clothes to the local charity centre (if you find a very lovely Gucci suit, check the pockets will you?!) and de-cluttered the house and then loaded a big skip. All that on top of some really great family time in the sunshine! When I put the holiday video together I hadn’t realised how much of my free time revolves around food!
So the summer holidays are over, and I am VERY excited to get back to work. We met up with Holly, husband Dan and little Harry in the summer and the two of us are really busting to get into the studio and get our teeth into the new series. The studio looks great, the new additions to the This Morning family are perfect and the new titles have given the whole show a fresh start. We’re cooking everyday at 12pm so you’ll get some great ideas from top chefs and the line-up of guests is sensational. I really can’t wait and you can be sure that there will be lots of Tweeting from the studio floor and lots of video put on both our websites. Also check out the new look This Morning website here.
Thanks also for your brilliant response to The Cube it has certainly got you shouting at the telly and got you thinking that you could do soooooo much better if you were given the opportunity! If you think you can beat The Cube and take away that quarter of a million pounds, email thecube@objectiveproductions.com.
Keep checking back for more regular updates and see you at 10.30am on Monday when Holly and I will start our This Morning partnership!
And finally, a little competition! Here’s a picture of me taken during the summer - have a go at writing a caption for it and send to officialphillipschofield@iviva.com!
