Holly and Phil baffled after mystery man interrupts their live This Morning segment

And they met a polar bear!

Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield were left giggling on This Morning after someone darted in front of the camera while they recorded a live link.

The pair were discussing what was coming up on Wednesday’s programme when a man was seen running across the camera, briefly blocking Holly and Phil from sight.

Phil seemed equally bemused, and said: “Just walking past!”

The pair were in giggles as they stared after the mystery man and questioned just who it was.

Sadly, they didn’t give us viewers any answers, instead moving swiftly on to interview actors Stephen Graham and Jill Halfpenny about their new movie, Walk Like A Panther.

Meanwhile, there was a bizarre start to Wednesday’s episode of This Morning as Holly and Phil were greeted with a mechanical polar bear on set.

Yes, really!

To mark National Polar Bear Day, they introduced Bjorn, an animatronic polar bear puppet who has blinking eyes, a sniffing nose, moving mouth and realistic sounds.

Holly and Phil seemed a bit shocked by just how big Bjorn is!

“This is the first time we’ve seen him and he’s actually quite scary!” said Phil. “It’s bigger than I thought it would be!”

“It’s huge!” agreed Holly.

“You are so gorgeous,” she said. “Can you ice skate? If you can, there is a place for you on Dancing On Ice!”

Holly joked that if Phil couldn’t get home through all the snow, he could always hitch a ride on Bjorn!

That’s a sight we’d like to see!
