Holly Willoughby And Phillip Schofield Leave NTAs Afterparty In The Wee Small Hours

Today's 'This Morning' should make for interesting viewing.

It looks as though we could be about to see history repeating itself, given Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield’s partying after the National Television Awards last night (25 January).

Despite the ceremony rounding off at around 10pm, Holly and Phil were still celebrating This Morning’s victory in the Live Magazine Show category until the wee small hours, despite having to get up early to host the daytime show live the next day.

The two were snapped bidding each other farewell outside an after party, long after the NTAs wrapped up, with Holly sharing a 4am Instagram snap of herself and Phil enjoying a victory margarita.

Phillip had previously told backstage presenter Scarlett Moffatt that they should be OK to host today’s (26 January) show because they were drinking tequila, claiming it “doesn’t give you a hangover”.

However, at that point Holly interjected: “It’s a bit late for tequila… that only works if you have it by itself.”

Wow

Oh dear - we’re expecting a few sore heads in the Schofield and Willoughby residences this morning.

After last year’s NTAs, the presenting duo managed to make international headlines when they made their way into the ‘This Morning’ studio still wearing their outfits from the night before, following a post-show party at Ant McPartlin’s house.

Phillip even joked during the show’s opening: “We shouldn’t be here, we shouldn’t be doing this.”

Will we be seeing a repeat performance this time around?

You’ll have to tune into ‘This Morning’ at 10.30am on ITV and see for yourself...

This Is What The National Television Awards Looked Like In 2007

While the NTAs are now practically synonymous with Dermot O'Leary, it was Sir Trev who helmed the awards 10 years ago.

Back then, they were held at the Royal Albert Hall, rather than The O2, and took place in October, instead of February.

Back in 2007, Holly was yet to join 'This Morning' meaning those post-NTAs live TV hangovers were still a long way off.

At that point, she was probably best known as Fearne Cotton's BFF, and the two of them hit the red carpet together.

The first series of 'Britain's Got Talent' had not long finished airing, and Amanda Holden was present to see if the show won Most Popular Talent Show.

It ultimately lost out to 'The X Factor', with 'Strictly', 'Dancing On Ice' and 'Any Dream Will Do' also up for the prize.

And speaking of 'The X Factor', the 2007 NTAs took place at a time when Dannii Minogue and Sharon Osbourne were still trying to convince everyone that they didn't hate each other.

An interesting time for us all.

Still one of the stars of 'Emmerdale' at this point, Jenna-Louise Coleman was in attendance, unaware at this point her roles in 'Doctor Who' and 'Victoria' would take her out of the Dales and into the spotlight. (credit:David Fisher/Rex/Shutterstock)

'Big Brother' still had... well... cultural relevance at this point, and while host Davina McCall was a no-show, reigning champion Brian Belo was there to see if the show won Most Popular Reality Programme. (credit:Dave Hogan via Getty Images)

'Big Brother' twins Samanda were also there, fresh from the release of their single 'Barbie Girl', which reached 26 in the UK singles chart. (credit:Dave Hogan via Getty Images)

Kelly Osbourne, for some reason, was picked to cover what was going on backstage. Here she is with Dannii Minogue, who she would later go on to tweet was "the devil". (credit:Alan Davidson / Silverhub/REX/Shutterstock)

Kym Marsh - then known as Kym Ryder - was crowned Best Newcomer, having joined 'Coronation Street' a year earlier.

She beat out stiff competition from Jo Joyner and Gemma Merna, from 'EastEnders' and 'Hollyoaks' respectively.

'Doctor Who' was named Most Popular Drama, back when David Tennant still held the keys to the TARDIS.

He was also awarded Most Popular Actor, over Corrie's Antony Cotton, EastEnders' Charlie Clements and Hollyoaks' James Sutton.

'Top Gear' was also named Most Popular Factual Programme, over 'This Morning', 'The F Word' and 'The Jeremy Kyle Show' (sidenote: Gordon Ramsey, Jeremy Clarkson and Jeremy Kyle is a party we'd happily lose our invite to). (credit:Jon Furniss via Getty Images)
