Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield will host a live nativity play on This Morning amid concerns the General Election will disrupt schools’ usual plans, ITV has said.
Schools around the country are typically used as polling stations and the election is set for December 12.

Children from a chosen school – Northwood Park Primary School in Wolverhampton – will also feature in the play.
“I can’t wait to reignite This Morning’s nativity tradition this year, it’s what Christmases are made for!” Schofield said.
Holly Willoughby added: “What’s Christmas without a nativity play? And the fact we get to help make a class of young children’s Christmas dreams come true is the star on top of the tree.”
