This Morning chaos as vet gets in trouble with 'grumpy judge' during live from Crufts

This Morning descended into chaos as the Crufts segment didn't go to plan.

One pooch refused to get their teeth brushed while vet Dr Scott Miller was shooed away, the presenter joking that he thought he was going to be arrested.

Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield watched on as Dr Miller was told to move into another part of the Crufts arena at Birmingham NEC, while he was conducting a live interview.

As a guest was about to demonstrate the use of a dog's toothbrush, a man with a clipboard could be seen in the background gesturing the This Morning cameras to move away.

Shuffling along, Dr Scott said: "We're getting into a bit of trouble here, we are at Crufts after all."

Meanwhile, Holly and Phil, who were sat with Holly's own gorgeous pooch, giggled at the chaos.

Then, one dog refused to get her teeth brushed despite several attempts, leaving Dr Miller to move on to another set of canines.

As the segment came to an end, Dr Miller joked he thought he was going to end up arrested over the incident.

This Morning viewers were left bemused by the live section, with one person saying on Twitter: "Well this segment on dogs isn’t going to plan."

A second said: "Grumpy steward ushers This morning vet away from the ring during live feed."

One outraged viewer said: "Omg that grumpy judge at #crufts! Shameful! All #ThisMorning was trying to do was promoting the event."

Meanwhile, in another section of the show, Holly noted that Harry and Meghan could have chosen to do away with Royal titles for their children, after they announced the christening of their daughter in California.

Princess Lilibet Diana, who was born to Prince Harry and Meghan in June 2021, was christened at the pair's home on Friday.

A spokesperson for Harry and Meghan said: "I can confirm that Princess Lilibet Diana was christened on Friday, March 3 by the Archbishop of Los Angeles, the Rev John Taylor."

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex's statement is the first time Harry and Meghan’s second child has been publicly called a princess and confirmed that Harry and Meghan will use the royal titles for their children.

Holly and Phil discussed the matter with journalists Tom Swarbrick and Anushka Asthana on Thursday morning.

Anushka said: “I’m not going to lose sleep over it, but given that he got however many million pounds to sell his story to Netflix and write his book, I think, give up the title.”

Holly said ‘yes’ in apparent agreement to Anushka’s comment, as she then commented: “You can choose though.

“Princess Anne chose not to do it. She chose that for her children, so there is a choice there if you didn’t want to.”

Tom replied: “I think it would have been very churlish of the King to say no because of all the Netflix stuff. There’s so many bridges been burnt, we don’t need more bridges torched.”
