Holly Willoughby admitted she was surprised by how well Prime Minister Boris Johnson appeared to look at his first address since returning to work after coronavirus.

PM Johnson was seen addressing the nation for the first time since he was seriously ill with the virus, which has claimed 20,000 lives in the UK.

However, in front of 10 Downing Street, Johnson declared that the UK had ‘passed the first phase’ of fighting the virus.

Speaking on This Morning about the address, Holly said: ‘If reports are to be believed, he was at death’s door.

‘To me, I mean, it’s quite shocking how well turned out he appeared actually.’

Teamed up with Phillip Schofield, the team discussed that the speech marked the prime minister alerting the nation that he was back in action.

However, Dr Hilary Jones on Good Morning Britain felt that Johnson was still looking ‘peaky’ after his serious illness, which left him in intensive care.

In his statement, Boris Johnson described the virus as an ‘invisible mugger’ and apologised for being away from his desk ‘for much longer than I would’ve liked’.

He thanked everyone who has ‘stepped up’ in his absence, including Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab who has deputised.

‘Once again I want to thank you, the people of this country, for the sheer grit and guts you’ve continued to show,’ he said. ‘Every day I know this virus brings sadness and mourning to households across the land.’

However, he was hesitant to give a date for the lifting of the lockdown policy, warning that doing so too early would have drastic consequences that could see us end up in a new quarantine period.

This Morning airs weekdays from 10am on ITV.
