Monday’s This Morning descended into giggles yet again, when presenter Phillip Schofield accidentally swore live on air.
Barely a few minutes into the show, while trying to introduce an interview with Fifty Shades Darker star, Rita Ora, Phil, 55, attempted to say: “Get ready to dig out your duct tape.”
Instead, he awkwardly replaced the ‘g’ in dig, with a ‘ck’, inviting viewers to do something fairly rude.
His co-presenter, Holly Willoughby, 36, burst out laughing, telling Phil: “That might be your best one yet. What were you saying?”
Phil bent double, laughing, as Holly added: “I’m just so happy it’s not me.”
The giggly pair tried to get things back on track, as Phil added: “Oh man, it’s a Monday. It’s only twenty-five to eleven. I don’t do many of those.”
He tried the line from the autocue again, this time getting it right, but Holly couldn’t stop laughing as she said: “I think I preferred it the first time.”
She then added: “Don’t be saying that in front of Rita.”
As ever, viewers loved the award-winning presenters’ blunders, rushing to comment on Twitter.

One wrote: “Hahahaha! @Schofe just slipping up literally 5 minutes into the show. Amazing! Monday made! #ThisMorning.”
Another added: “@Schofe getting his [bleep] out on @thismorning ? Alright then #ThisMorning.”
A third tweeted: “@Schofe Oh Phil! It’s too early! #ducttape #ThisMorning @thismorning.”
This latest silliness comes just a few days after the pair got the giggles during a rum tasting – just hours before they were due to interview Prince Charles and Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall.
Mum of three Holly worried: “Rum seems stronger than I remember it. Maybe it’s because I never start a night out on rum!”
She added: “We’ll be fine. We are very professional.”
Dad of two, Phillip agreed, saying: “We will just have a sip.”
And if nothing else went right, at least Holly’s look today was flawless.
She posted a picture on Instagram ahead of filming, writing: “Morning Monday…. start of Feb and a brand new week here on @thismorning … Willoughby-bee skirt and shirt by @majeofficiel boots by @jonesbootmaker”.

Even when she can’t stop laughing, Holly still looks great.
