Holly Willoughby and Michael McIntyre couldn't take their eyes off the racetrack during the Monaco Grand Prix qualifying on Saturday. 

The presenter, 45, had her phone at the ready as she watched the race unfold alongside the comedian, 50. 

Holly looked effortlessly chic in a light blue playsuit which had broderie anglaise detailing. She teamed the look with sunglasses and tan sandals. 

During her 14-year tenure on This Morning, Holly interviewed a number of Formula 1 icons including Lando Norris and Lewis Hamilton. 

Lewis was supported by his girlfriend Kim Kardashian and her sister Khloe. 

The racing driver has insisted he is ready to complete the 'impossible' dream and fight his way to a maiden Ferrari victory in Sunday's prestigious Monaco Grand Prix.

Meanwhile, George Russell's title dreams were in danger of toppling into the harbour after his Mercedes team-mate Kimi Antonelli took pole for the Monaco Grand Prix and left him for dead.

Russell qualified a distant sixth, four-tenths back from the Italian teenager whose sheer pace is threatening to romp away with the season's spoils.

Pre-season championship favourite Russell struggled all afternoon, complaining about a lack of grip.

Charles Leclerc, the hometown favourite, qualified fourth in the other red car, while Red Bull's Isack Hadjar was fifth fastest.

Lewis is hopeful he can provide an upset to take the 106th win of his career and break his Ferrari duck.

He said: 'You know how these races go. It's very, very difficult. I hope we can get a really good start and maybe apply some pressure. I probably need rain. But nothing's impossible.

'It is a shame that this race is normally a procession, in the sense of following one another. The car is overheating; the brakes are overheating with the way the track is.

'But I'll try to get in there and hassle these two (Antonelli and Verstappen) as much as I can and force them into not making certain corners.'
