Lisa Snowdon discovered the downside of working on live TV on Tuesday as she struggled to take a loo break for fear of not being back in time for the cameras!
The former Strictly star was standing in for Holly Willoughby along with Phillip Schofield’s substitute Rylan Clark-Neal while the usual hosts enjoy their summer holidays.
She was hoping to keep her predicament private but when she confided in Rylan he revealed all!
“Go on, tell them what we were just talking about,” he said to her as they returned from an ad break an hour and ten minutes into the show.
“I can’t tell you anything!” Lisa exclaimed.
“She’s wanted a wee since half 10 and she’s been sitting like this,” Rylan said crossing his legs.

“I have, thank you Rylan,” an embarrassed Lisa replied laughing – which probably wasn’t a good idea in the circumstances!
“She’s so frightened to go to the toilet in case she misses something – go! Go and enjoy yourself!” Rylan then told her.
But Lisa wasn’t convinced.
“You’re just so casual and I’m trying to be professional and wait until the end of the show,” she said, keeping her legs crossed as the pair then heard the latest showbiz gossip.
Rylan and Lisa are the latest double act to cover for Holly and Phil while they soak up the sun in Portugal.
Despite working together, the pair are also happy to spend their time-off together too and take both their families out to the same resort each year.
