Holly Willoughby gave an apology on This Morning after she forgot the procedure to the Spin to Win segment.
Holly, who was presenting alongside Phillip Schofield, mistakenly said “hello” to the caller instead of waiting for them to say the password.
The mishap resulted in a telling off from Phillip and lots of laughter in the studio.
Holly Willoughby ‘messed up’ on This Morning
As the phone rang, Holly first said the words: “Talk to Blobby. He looks lonely there on his own.”
Phillip whispered: “Shh. You’re giving away the question. You are useless.”
Holly then said: “Hello!”
Turning immediately to his co-host, Phillip yelled: “No! What are you playing at? What game is this you’ve invented in your head?!”
We have to let him play. Surely we have to because I messed up. I am so sorry!
Phillip then went on to add: “We had to make sure we got the right one as you just changed the rules of the entire game. That could have been anyone on there.”
Holly said: “We have to let him play. Surely we have to because I messed up. I am so sorry!”
