This Morning host Phillip Schofield was left red-faced on today’s show (Monday October 5) after a Spin To Win contestant told him he once refused to give his daughter an autograph.
The embarrassing moment left Phil, 58, speechless.
What happened when Mike spoke to This Morning host Phillip Schofield?
Contestant Mike from Bristol told Phil that he and his daughter Honey met him years ago.
The host was in the city to do a balloon ride.
“We followed you, my daughter ran to the balloon,” Mike told Phil.
“She tells me this story many many times, she asked you for your autograph and you said you were too busy.”
“I was probably hanging out of a balloon at the time!” Phil said.
What did Phillip Schofield do next?
Phil soon rectified the mistake when he wrote Honey a long-awaited autograph live on air.
“To Honey, not too busy this time!!” he wrote.
“With love, Phillip Schofield x.”
Phil also helped Mike win a prize on the game show segment.
Embarrassment averted!
