Holly Willoughby’s ‘soap gusset’ gaffe leaves Phillip Schofield laughing

Phil couldn't help but tease his co-star

| Updated:

Holly Willoughby suffered a blunder on today’s This Morning, leaving her co-star Phillip Schofield in hysterics.

The presenter, 37, was telling viewers what was coming up on the show and she accidentally called a segment “soap gusset” rather than “soap gossip”.

As the duo revealed the upcoming segments, Holly was about to tell fans that they would be chatting with the show’s soap queen Sharon Marshall about what will be happening in Soapland in the next few weeks.

Holly told viewers: “Sharon’s here with all the gusset from Soapland.”

Phil cut in: “Gusset?! The gusset? Soapland’s gusset,” as Holly burst into laughter.

Correcting her mistake, Holly said: “The gossip from Soapland.”

Phil said: “Can I just remind you how much of a hard time you gave me yesterday that I made a mistake because I called Fay Ripley ‘Ray Fipley.'”

Holly replied: “Yeah but everyone expects me to make a mistake where as you don’t.

“When you do it, it’s so much better.”

Phil joked: “Well, I’ve not said ‘soap gusset’ that’s for sure.”

Viewers were also amused by Holly’s gaffe with one person writing on Twitter: “@thismorning @Schofe @hollywills laughing at your gusset clanger! Pull yourself together.”

Another said: “@thismorning does Holly have an obsession with the lower part of the body??? Her bloopers include ‘willy wangling’ and now ‘soap gusset.'”

A third tweeted: “@Schofe here’s today’s Soap gusset! Loved that @hollywills,” alongside a photo of Coronation Street’s Rovers Return edited on a pair of knickers!

This is Holly’s second blunder on live TV this week after she accidentally made a rude blunder during Sunday night’s Dancing On Ice.

The star accidentally called the show “Dancing On A***” as the programme returned from an advert break.

Of course, being the true professional she is, Holly continued to present the show but Phil, 56, was quick to tease his co-star backstage.

As the show went off air, Phil asked Holly in a video posted to his Snapchat: “What did you just say coming back from the break?”

A mortified Holly replied: “Welcome back to Dancing On [Bleep]. Oh my god.”

Phil joked: “You finally said it, ‘Dancing On [Bleep]’. God, that’s a beauty.”
