Holly Willoughby pleads 'don't leave me alone' as she makes blunder live on This Morning

Holly Willoughby was left pleading "don't leave me on my own" as she made a blunder live on air.

The This Morning star was joined by Craig Doyle on Thursday's show, but had to present part of it alone.

Yet it didn't quite go as planned as she made a hilarious error seconds after coming back from the ad break.

As she started to present a segment on sandals, Holly said: "In just a moment, can men look good in sandals?

"Yes that is why Craig is not by my side. He is on a mission to prove that they can.

"He is backside," she accidently said.

After breaking out into laughter, Holly quickly added: "We won't be seeing his backside. Craig, don't leave me on my own."

She then had to hand over to Josie Gibson who was out and about hosting the competition.

Holly called out to her: "Don't leave me on my own Josie."

"It's easily done Hols," Josie replied.

It comes after This Morning fans have confessed their delight at Phillip Schofield's replacement, who is the "perfect fit".

Holly has been joined by fellow This Morning star Craig Doyle, who usually presents alongside Josie.

The new duo went down well with viewers as one person said: ""ABSOLUTELY should keep Craig on This Morning permanently! He is the perfect fit with Holly! #thismorning #craigdoyle."

"If anyone could save TM I think its Craig. Very good presenter and works better with Holly than a female presenter. #thismorning," added another.

"There’s such a warmth and calmness about Craig Doyle, Holly seems more relaxed with him too. Would not complain if he were to be permanent #ThisMorning," someone else wrote.

"Can we have Craig Doyle permanently as Phil’s replacement? He and Holly just work so well together #thismorning @thismorning," said a fan.

Viewers were even more delighted when they spotted an accidental glimpse of behind-the-scenes fun.

The two clearly didn’t realise they were still on air during the competition segment as Holly could be heard giggling as she told Craig to put down a bit of Spam he was holding.

Holly returned to the much loved daytime show earlier this week for the first time since Phil's departure.

It comes after the This Morning host quit the show and ITV after 21 years when he admitted to having an affair with a younger colleague.

She was joined by Josie Gibson earlier in the week.
