HOLLY Willoughby smiles with on-screen partner Phillip Schofield as the This Morning pair enjoy ANOTHER joint family holiday together.

The ITV favourites are relaxing on a sun-soaked getaway in Portugal with their partners and children - and are documenting it with touching snaps.

The trip comes months after the co-hosts reportedly fell out over a magazine cover.

ITV insiders said their relationship initially came under strain after Holly, 38, stepped in for Ant McPartlin hosting I’m A Celebrity — helping ITV secure record viewing figures.

In April, the Sunday Times Magazine featured an interview with the pair. On the front cover, Holly was pictured wearing a cartoon crown, while ­Phillip, 57, was left bare-headed.

Phillip was livid with the article, and the mag was forced to write a letter of apology to his management.

A source told The Sun at the time: “To say there has been a bit of tension is an understatement."

However the pair's close friendship is clearly back on track - even calling each other "besties".

They're not afraid to poke fun at each other either, as a selfie video featuring glamorous Holly, 38, shows her husband squirting shaving foam into unsuspecting Phillip's face.

Phil, 57, shouts "s***" as Holly's hubby Dan Baldwin interrupts his Instagram video to carry out the cheeky prank.

And Holly gave husband Dan a ticking off - joking: "That went in my mouth, I actually ate that. What is that?"

This Morning host Phillip did eventually manage to get a selfie with his co-star - which he called her "bestie".

And karma came back to bite Dan as he was later seen dangling over a river - and losing his glasses in the process.

He screamed: "They're gone, they're expensive!", before shouting out, "No!"

It comes just days after Holly and fellow This Morning presenter Rochelle Humes shared a sweet holiday snap of their mini-me daughters running into the sea.

The two proud mums decided to recreate the playful moment and posted a split-screen shot alongside a gushing caption.

Holly wrote: "Who knew ... when the girl you love and admire looks after @schofe when you are away and then when we finally get the time together as a family @rochellehumes...our girls fall into sync... it’s like looking in the mirror... #girls #family#minime".

Rochelle, 30, added: "Like Mother like Daughter..."

Rochelle stood in for Holly last year as the main host on This Morning, when Holly flew to Australia to present I'm A Celeb.

Holly is abroad with her loved ones including her mum Linda, and three children, Belle, Harry, 10, and four-year-old Chester.

She and Phillip have been off our screens since mid-July - and will return in the first week of September.

Phillip no doubt will be enjoying the break, having also dealt with a feud with Amanda Holden recently.

This Morning has been left in safe hands as Eamonn Holmes and wife Ruth Langsford, both 59, are now currently fronting the ITV morning show.

They are the first choice during the holidays as they already present the Friday and weekend editions.
