Daytime shows on ITV aren’t having much luck in the technical department this week.
After Loose Women was forced to air an old episode before beginning yesterday’s show due to a studio evacuation, today’s This Morning lost their titles!
The opening sequence didn’t happen and the show cut straight to Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield in the studio.
Earlier this week, the show unveiled it’s new Christmas titles and newly decorated studio, but today they failed to play.
Fortunately, Phil and Holly, ever the professionals, sprung into action straight away – if in between laughter.
“We’ve lost the titles!” Phil exclaimed.
“Is this my chance to sing?” Holly questioned.
As they attempted to make some sort of musical noise, Phil went on to say:
“Good job we were ready then and not picking our noses!”
“We’re not normally ready!” laughed Holly.
Oops!

The Christmas makeover has really got fans into the festive spirit.
For the first time ever, the programme has decorated the outside of its building on London’s South Bank, making it resemble a giant Christmas parcel.
Amazing!
Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield opened Monday’s episode arriving at work on a sleigh. Yes, really!
Showing off the outside of their London studio, they urged anybody wandering down South Bank to stop for a selfie – particularly at night when it’s all lit up.
It’s the first year ever they’ve ever decorated the outside of Studio 8, with Holly and Phil revealing it’s because the show will be moving premises temporarily in the New Year.
Renovation work will be carried out on ITV’s South Bank studios in 2018, meaning daytime shows including This Morning will be housed elsewhere for a period of time.
Meanwhile, Holly and Phil revealed they hadn’t even been allowed into the studio ahead of the show starting, which meant they were clapping eyes on the decorations at the same time as viewers.
And, just wow!
This Morning’s studio has been decorated with 14 incredible Christmas trees, 15 sleighs, garlands, wrapped presents, wreathes, holly and more.
There’s even a real fire! Next to the fake window, as Phil pointed out!
And log-shaped cushions which actually look like proper fire logs… let’s hope they don’t accidentally end up in the real fire…
The festive opening titles also debuted, replacing the usual credits with lots of snow, a festive jingle and plenty of Christmas cheer.
