This Morning: Phillip Schofield told off by mum for behaviour towards James Martin

This Morning took part in Saturday Night Takeaway's On Air Dares

This Morning host Phillip Schofield has revealed his mum was “furious” with his “unprofessional” behaviour towards James Martin.

Last week, Phil and Holly Willoughby left viewers baffled with their strange antics during one of James’ cooking segments on the show.

However, on Saturday night, it was revealed it was all part of a Saturday Night Takeaway segment called On Air Dares.

In fact, Stephen Mulhern was behind the camera telling the pair what to say during the segment.

He said: “My mother was furious. She WhatsApped me after the show and said, ‘I don’t think I’ve ever said this to you before but I thought you were unprofessional to poor James.’

“There was a man on Twitter who said, ‘I’ve seen more mature cheese.'”

What did James say?

James explained: “My brief was to say nothing, to do nothing, to carry on as normal.”

Phil told him: “You did brilliantly.”

There was a man on Twitter who said, ‘I’ve seen more mature cheese.’

It wasn’t just This Morning which faced On Air Dares for Ant and Dec’s Saturday Night Takeaway.

GMB, Lorraine and Loose Women were all instructed by Stephen during a segment on their Tuesday shows.

Stephen told the presenters they had to follow his orders with naughty cue cards and if they wanted to pass, they had to give a secret hand signal.

The four shows all went against each other to be crowned the winners of On Air Dares.

However, This Morning took the crown after Holly and Phil’s cheeky antics in James’ cooking item.

On Thursday’s programme (March 25), Stephen gatecrashed This Morning live on air to reveal they were the winners.

He told the hosts: “Stop! Stop what you’re doing! Let me tell you, I bring good news.

“This Morning, you are the winners of On Air Dares!” as he showed a mini trophy.
