Paris Hilton got more than she bargained for when she appeared as a guest on This Morning, as she ended up playing a key role in Friday's show, before 'insulting' host Josie Gibson.
Fresh from becoming a mum for the first time and ahead of the release of her tell-all autobiography Paris: The Memoir, the famous heiress and Stars are Blind singer joined Alison Hammond and Dermot O'Leary in the This Morning studio and, before discussed having a baby, her wild headline-hitting past, celebrity friends and her new book, Paris was roped into play a key role in the live broadcast.
As she sat on the sofa next to Alison and Dermot, Paris was asked to be part of the ITV show's well known game Dosh On Your Doorstep. The competition involves a member of the public being surprised outside their house, with a chance to win a big cash prize.
Alison is no stranger to being at the helm of Dosh on Your Doorstep but on Friday it was her friend and This Morning co-star Josie who did the honours and, she was just as stunned as viewers at home to discover that Paris had got in the action. Paris was given the job of calling up the viewer who'd been chosen for the game, with the woman clearly startled when she picked up the phone to be greeted by 'Hi, this is Paris Hilton.'
Being slightly harsh about Josie Paris asked the caller if she could see 'a strange woman' running towards her house, as things got even more bizarre.
Viewers were quick to react to seeing Paris on This Morning, with one blasting: "Dosh on your doorstep is a staged pile of pish and I won't hear another word about it. Like Paris Hilton would phone and you would just say "oh hello"
A second tweeted: "Hi it’s Paris Hilton. Josie Gibson is outside your front door.” I’m not usually that hot on daytime TV but this was so surreal.
And, addressing what else went on in the show, a second reacted: "Paris Hilton, bewitched and Leprechauns on this morning……. What is going on?!
