Holly Willoughby usually delights daytime viewers in her tight outfits that show off her voluptuous figure.

But she covered up her curves today as she and fellow co-host host Phillip Scholfield donned an array of cheesy Christmas-themed jumpers on a fun episode of This Morning.

The pair were like catwalk models - with several outfit changes in two hours - except the clothing was a little more gaudy.

In the Christmas mood: Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby donned an array of silly festive-themed jumpers today on a very fun episode of This Morning

For part of the morning, the pair wore red and white jumpers depicting a Santa suit, completed with a fake black belt buckle.

They added Santa hats to the ensemble with the words 'Text Santa' embroided on the white fur.

The campaign aims to raise money and awareness for charities this Christmas.

Holly also rocked a bright red jersey with a reindeer face on it, complete with a bobble nose and plastic eyes.

Reindeer mad: Phillip's extremely bright green jersey was a bit of an eyesore, while Holly's white and black patterned number passed the test

Loud and proud: Now it's Holly's time to wear a reindeer jersey, this time in red, while Phillip dons a Frosty The Snowman jumper

She also wore a black number with a penguin on it, a pink jersey with brown snowmen, a safer black a white jersey and another red option.

Philip by far drew the short straw with a glaring green jumper with a reindeer on it, a Christmas tree jumper, an elf-style jumper and a blue one with a penguin on it.

During the show, the hosts were paid a visit by former servant of the British Royal Household, Paul Burrell, who presented them with new titles: Lord Phillip Schofield of Glencoe and Lady Holly Willoughby of Glencoe.

Not getting any better: Philip wears a Christmas tree jumper and an elf costume while Holly looks a little more stylish in this cute pink number with brown snowmen on it but not in the penguin jumper

An honour: The hosts were paid a visit by former servant of the British Royal Household, Paul Burrell, who presented the hosts with their new titles: Lord Phillip Schofield of Glencoe and Lady Holly Willoughby of Glencoe

By gifting small plots of land from a conservation trust, Highland Titles.com, anyone can become a Lord or Lady.

Holly became excited about the honour which entitled the pair to one square foot of land in the Scottish Highlands.

'Is this for real?' She asked Paul, to which he insisted it was.

'So can I change my passport? I'm going to insist it. I am Lady of Glencoe.

'Are you serious? Lady Willoughby. That's amazing. Can we go there on holiday... I love it. Thank you so much. That's the best thing ever.'

Weird combination: In a fun game, Holly and Phillip had to race to transform their very different looking models into Santa

Lucky girl: Holly scored the very buff model and went on to win the competition

The hosts also battled each other in two festive games, the first seeing them race to transform to very different looking models into Santa.

Holly was delighted to have scored a buff bloke while Philip was stuck with a much larger man, which proved detrimental as he lost.

Holly also won a game where the hosts had to race to wrap presents.

Don't Phunk With My Rules! will.i.am joins Jessie J as the second coach on The Voice

He's already flirted with UK television viewers, joining Cheryl Cole on The X Factor to co-judge last year.

And now will.i.am will venture onto screens this side of the Atlantic again to star on the hotly-anticipated The Voice.

The Black Eyed Peas star is the second coach to be confirmed on the reality series, alongside Jessie J and two as of yet unnamed celebrities.

Reality TV king: will.i.am is to become a UK household name after signing up for the British version of The Voice

The rapper said: 'I'm proud to be doing The Voice UK because the UK was the first place I saw success.

'It’s the place I'm the most creative outside of home.'

BBC One Controller Danny Cohen added: 'I am thrilled that will.i.am has signed up to be a coach on The Voice.

'He is a huge star who will bring a unique creativity to the show.'

The show, due to broadcast on BBC One in spring 2012, will be presented by This Morning beauty Holly Willoughby, 30, and Reggie Yates, 28.

Hitting UK shores: will.i.am of Black Eyed Peas will join Jessie J as a coach

However, the former Dancing On Ice host is unlikely to please her bosses at ITV as she joins forces with the rival channel.

When The Voice was launched in the US this year it was marketed as a rival to The X Factor, which is broadcast on Holly's current employer ITV.

Speculation was rife last week when it was announced Willoughby would not be returning to the skating series this winter, with axed Daybreak host Christine Bleakley taking her place.

New gig: Holly Willoughby and Reggie Yates have been announced the hosts of new talent show The Voice

Holly refused to be drawn on the rumours that she had signed on for The Voice gig, telling fans instead that all will be revealed 'next week.'

When she eventually released a statement, she said: 'I’m so excited to be hosting The Voice.

'When it launched in America I watched one of the shows and thought it was just a fantastic format, and when I heard it was coming to the UK I thought to myself how incredible it would be to be a part of it.

X Factor's new rival: Christina Aguilera, Cee Lo Green, Adam Levine and Blake Shelton are the celebrity mentors on the US version of The Voice

Mentor: Jessie J is the first singer confirmed to be playing judge and coach

'It’s going to be one rollercoaster of a ride and I can’t wait to get started!'

Her co-host Yates added: 'I’m so delighted to get this job and be part of such a credible music show.

'The format of The Voice in America has worked brilliantly and I have no doubt it will be just as successful on British TV. '

Leaving: Last week it was announced that Holly will be not returning to Dancing On Ice this season

The US show stars Christina Aguilera, Adam Levine, Cee Lo Green and Blake Shelton as mentors who blindly select and judge the contestants based solely on their voice.

Jessie J has been confirmed as the first celebrity coach for the UK version.

Last week Holly wishes her successor well following the announcement that she was leaving Dancing On Ice.

Skating in her shoes: Axed Daybreak host Christine Bleakley was announced as her replacement

Willougby tweeted: 'Good luck to Christine Bleakley on this years Dancing on Ice. It's a truely (sic) magical show and you will love it. I'll miss you all very much!'

Bleakley said: 'My only concern was what a big task it is to follow the brilliant Holly and I can only promise her, Phillip and everyone at home that they couldn't have a bigger fan of the show on board.'

Schofield said he was 'absolutely delighted' that Bleakley was joining the show which was won last year by ex-EastEnders actor Sam Attwater.

Staying put: Holly will continue duties on This Morning alongside Phillip Schofield

Warm welcome: Schofield tweeted about the unexpected announcement

Farewell: Holly wished her successor all the best

It was criticised for battling to match the GMTV audience in its early stages and has consistently pulled in fewer viewers than its BBC1 rival Breakfast.

ITV Director of Television, Peter Fincham said: 'Dancing on Ice continues to be one of ITV1’s most successful entertainment hits and I’m delighted that Christine will be joining Phillip Schofield to host next year’s show.'

Willoughby, who is not on an exclusive contract, will continue working with Schofield on This Morning and her duties on ITV2's Celebrity Juice, but has 'other commitments' over the winter season, a statement released by the network said.

Dancing On Ice 2012: Jason Gardiner or Emma Bunton to be replaced by Louie Spence?

November 23rd, 2011 by Lisa McGarry.

Dancing On Ice kicks off in less than two months, but two members of it’s judging panel have not yet been offered a contract for their return.
The Sun claims that neither Emma Bunton or Jason Gardiner have been asked to come back to the show and that ITV bosses are considering replacing one of the experts with Pineapple Dance Studios star Louie Spence.
If true, the move will cause a lot of awkwardness between the celebrities, as Louie is close pals with both the former Spice Girl and the dance expert.

Former British champion skater Robin Cousins is said to have already agreed a deal, which will see him appearing on the 2012 series, however though both Emma and Jason have held talks with producers, none has yet been guaranteed their spot on the panel.
“This year’s judging line-up is being taken to the wire.
“Producers want to refresh things and Jason and Emma look the most vulnerable.
“The show has been running for several years and like all ITV shows they are overhauled occasionally to keep viewers interested.”
Emma Bunton seems most likely top be axed, as she has no real ice skating or dance experience and has only appeared on the show for two series’. In 2010 she replaced Karen Barber, who went on to become head coach of the celebrity contestants.

Bosses may want rid of Jason though, as he is an OFCOM investigation magnet all on his own. Last year more than 3,500 people complained to the channel about vicious comments he made to Karen on air. In 2009 the regulatory body were also called in to investigate the show, after the star Gardiner branded Roxanne Pallet a “Cabbage Patch doll” and compared Ellery Hanley to “Mr. Potato Head”.
Dancing On Ice returns in January and will reportedly feature stars such as Coronation Street actor Andy Whyment, Eastenders actress Laila Morse, Emmerdale star Matthew Wolfenden, Hollyoaks actress Jorgie Porter and Sugababes singer Heidi Range.

This year’s show will also have a different host, after it was revealed that Holly Willoughby will not be ch-presenting with Phillip Schofield as usual. instead the Silver Fox will be joined by disgraced Daybreak star Christine Bleakley.
It is claimed that Holly will go on to work on BBC’s The Voice.
Are you looking forward to Dancing On Ice’s return? Will you watch without Jason or Emma or even Holly?
