Phillip Schofield is left stunned by make-up artist after she transforms herself into him on This Morning
A Scottish make-up artist left This Morning co-hosts Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield in shock when she transformed herself into the latter.
Alana Pignatiel amazed the TV presenter, 58, with her uncanny resemblance to him through the power of make-up after spending an hour and a half to make herself look like him on Wednesday.
Wearing a grey wig to emulate the silver fox, Alana used make-up to draw on wrinkles to match his likeness before being introduced to the man live on the show.

Holly was besides herself with amazement, as she said: ‘Oh my God. I feel like you’ve traded places.’
Meanwhile Phil said with glee that what she’d done was ‘amazing’, before asking her how she managed to complete the task.
Answering Holly and Phil’s questions Alana revealed that she used ‘just highlighting and shading’ to transform into him, which Holly said was ‘very clever.’
Alana also showed a photo of herself made up to look like Holly, and the presenter thought the likeness was remarkable.

Phil shouted: ‘Get back to your corner’, and viewers were quick to express their fears for his safety on social media.
Some felt it was unfair that while they can’t see their family and friends for weeks on end, the hosts could stand next to each other while doing experiments.
