Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield in fits of giggles over This Morning blunder

Willoughby accidentally suggested the show would be on air past 5pm
Undefined11 January 2018

Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield were overcome by another of their famous giggling fits during the most recent episode of This Morning.

The pair were reading the schedule for that day’s show when Willoughby accidentally gave the time of one of the segments as "10 past five".

Her co-host Schofield immediately picked up on her mistake, laughing: “What? What? How long is this show today? 10 past 5? I’ve got stuff to do, I can’t be here all day!”

Barely able to speak from giggling, Willoughby squeaked: “I don’t know what’s happening”.

“This is not rehearsal,” quipped her presenting partner.

Despite recovering her composure and giving the line another go, Willoughby still couldn’t get it right.

As she said “I’m sorry… five past 10,” Schofield exclaimed: “11!”, causing her to joke: “You’ve already missed it. And this is only the start. Oh I’m so sorry. I can only get better from here.”

It wasn’t the only mishap in Thursday’s show - Willoughby later stated that the team was running a competition to give away £7 a month rather than the correct figure of £7,000. She also misnamed gadget expert Steve Wilson, calling him weasel.

The This Morning hosts are known for their relaxed presenting style, which has seen them arrive for work the morning after the National Television Awards having not been to bed the evening before, and break into fits of laughter on several occasions.
