A host of famous faces joined Alison and Aiden for the big bash including Holly Willoughby, Dermot O'Leary and Vanessa Feltz.

"Loads of the team here went," Phillip continued. "The photos are unbelievable and gradually bit by bit people are going, 'Oh god I did [do that] didn't I?'"

The This Morning host explained he missed Alison's gathering because it was his daughter Ruby's birthday.

"It was Ruby's birthday and she had a massive party, 15 members of the family," he said.
