They were joined by Broadway and West End star Marisha Wallace who delivered a performance backed by four dancers in multi-coloured outfits.

Schofield, who came out as gay in February last year, told viewers: “Well football isn’t the only thing we’re celebrating today, as today is the final day of Pride month and it’s also ITV Pride Day which is why we’ve got our badges on here.”

Willoughby added: “And my subtle skirt. This is the day we celebrate the very best of the LGBT+ community so we thought we’d spread the love with an all-singing, all-dancing music number.”
