Rochelle on This Morning

Patrick the Pony and his owner Kirk Petrakis appeared on This Morning today (August 16) after the animal was banned from a local pub.

At the end of the interview, Kirk asked the presenters if he had time to sing them a song, to which Andi had to contain his laughter.

He then sang a song about Patrick the Pony, to which Andi and Rochelle could be heard giggling.

After Kirk finshed the song, the presenters thanked him and Rochelle could barely speak from laughing.

Viewers appeared divided over the moment on Twitter.

One fan stated: “When someone is asked to be a guest on @thismorning at least show them some respect. Laughing with someone is different to laughing at them. The end of the interview was embarrassing.”

Laughing with someone is different to laughing at them. The end of the interview was embarrassing.

Another said “Andi Peters is a disgrace making fun of that beautiful man with Patrick the Pony. He obviously doesn’t know how amazing Pets As Therapy is.”

Another wrote: “Loved Patrick the mayor pony and the song his owner sang, shame the presenters were laughing.”

“Nope, that isn’t cool laughing at this man singing. He has a good heart, totally unprofessional,” one tweeted.

Not everyone felt that the presenters reaction was awkward or insensitive though.

One fan expressed: “That just made my day your faces omg, I would of wet myself laughing.”

One defended the presenters, saying: “If something catches you by surprise and makes you laugh, you cannot control it.

“Some of you clearly lead a very boring life and have no reason to laugh. It wasn’t deliberately disrespectful.”
