Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield were talking with guests ahead of the Prime Minister’s own appearance on ITV’s This Morning.
The couple were on the programme to discuss the terminal illness, Batten’s disease, that affects two of their children.
The condition has been shown to improve if patients are given a drug called Cerliponase alfa, which is not currently available on the NHS.
After hearing the parent’s plight, Phillip urged the pair to take Theresa May to task as she would also in the building at the same time.
He told them to time their exit with her arrival into the green room so as to ask her about making changes to NHS funding.
Those watching at home appeared to agree with Phillip’s suggestion and took to Twitter to comment.
“The prime minister is the person to talk to on funding seeing as the government underfund the NHS! #thismorning,” one suggested.
While another said: “Yes that it catch @theresa_may in the corridor !! just watch out for the security #thismorning.”
“B****y brilliant @Schofe ‘Why don’t you have a cup of tea in the green room and pop out when @theresa_may cones in!’ That’s epic. Television gold and b****y brilliant! Actually beyond epic! #ThisMorning,” a third praised.
This Morning airs weekdays at 10.30am on ITV.
