Holly Willoughby seems to drop an ‘F-bomb’ when Phillip Schofield scares her live on air

Holly Willoughby suffered a slip of the tongue on Thursday’s This Morning show when she appeared to swear live on air.

The presenter, 41, was the victim of a prank by co-host Phillip Schofield, 60, who scared her in the middle of a conversation with a shout.

Jumping up and blurting out what seemed to be the start of some f**k profanity, Holly then covered her mouth and laughed as she went red-faced during the incident.

Holly and Phil were discussing M Night Shyamalan’s new horror movie, Knock at the Cabin, when the latter decided to laugh it off.

He began introducing the segment while speaking to the camera, before stopping mid-sentence and yelling to scare Holly off.

And it did just that, as Holly could be heard making an ‘f’ sound that closely resembled the beginning of the word.

Before she covered her mouth and looked away from the camera to the study.

A pleased Phil said, “I haven’t done that in a while,” as his co-star was left in shock before leaving the stage.

And fans took notice of the moment, too, as one shared a clip, writing, “I swear Holly dropped the F-word #thismorning.”

“Hahah I swear Holly was about to say f**k there lol,” another wrote, when a viewer responded to her tweet, confirming, “I thought I actually heard it.”

And it was a show full of laughs for the popular hosting duo as they were also left a stifled laugh when Phil had to host a segment on ‘trimming your bush’.

Phil was trying to introduce a segment on winter gardening when he had to say the line, saying it was a trick by the show’s producer Ollie.

‘Welcome back. Still to come. To trim your… Ollie, Ollie. He’s written that and it’s the first time I’ve seen it,’ Phil said, looking a little annoyed at first as Holly laughed.

“Go back to the beginning, I’m going to do this sensibly and professionally,” he said as he tried to restart the segment’s intro.

She continued while holding back a laugh, “From trimming your bush to leaving something for your birds, we’ve got a list of winter jobs for you in the garden.”

The production team added a cheeky ‘ohh’ voiceover when Phil repeated the phrase ‘cutting your bush’.

In September, Holly and Phil were left in stitches on This Morning when they were forced to cut a ‘nude segment’ in the show due to an unfortunate editing error.

Phillip, 60, explained that they had pre-recorded an interview with two people who ride naked bikes for charity, but had to postpone the broadcast because they noticed the ‘bits’ of the man being shown.

A laughing Holly, 41, opened the show by saying, “We had something pretty revealing.”

Phil added: “We’ve got two naked cyclists in a tandem who’ve done a thousand miles, raised over £5,000 for charity, so we’ve pre-recorded it, we just watched it and you can see the parts of it.”

Holly couldn’t help but laugh as she explained that they had tried to “blur” the gross editing error, while Phillip said that they were trying to “remove” it.

Phillip said they had been forced to return the clip to the editing team, who were trying to hide the man’s modesty.

“Put a big old fashioned eggplant emoji on top of it,” Holly said with a smile.

It comes after Kim Woodburn demanded that the hosts be sacked while weighing in at the ‘queue gate’.

The 80-year-old Celebrity Big Brother star addressed the drama again while appearing on the Not my Bagg podcast.

Holly and Philip were accused of jumping the line at Westminster Hall in London last week as tens of thousands of mourners waited patiently for 12 hours straight to pay their respects to Her Majesty, but argued their visit was “strictly for reporting”. .

Speaking about the incident, Kim told Gogglebox hosts Joe and George Baggs: “They were not asked to cover the Queen’s funeral.”

“They sneaked in and put this press stuff they got, they sneaked in because they wouldn’t queue, they’re too high and mighty. It’s true.

‘Don’t listen to another word they say. They weren’t hired, they weren’t allowed to film, nobody had it, so they snuck in.

She added furiously: “They should have lost their job.”

The ‘devastated’ presenters, who are paid up to £600,000 to present the popular Monday-Thursday daytime show, have faced mounting fury after footage emerged of them appearing to ‘jump the queue’ as dozens of thousands of mourners waited patiently. for 12 hours at a time.

Holly was reportedly in tears as she and Phil begged This Morning bosses to defend them from the ensuing storm, and were furious that ITV was left in their hands before issuing a short statement defending the couple.

The couple were set to issue a public apology for the “tail gate” but were dissuaded after receiving legal advice, a source told MailOnline.
