Phillip Schofield has sudden on-air meltdown at This Morning scriptwriter after he stumbles over his lines
Holly Willoughby couldn't stop laughing as he accused to scriptwriters of trying to get him to swear
PHILLIP Schofield had a sudden on-air meltdown at a This Morning scriptwriter today after he stumbled over his lines.
He was introducing the Christmas TV segment but stopped half way through saying: "who wrote this?!"
Phillip started off saying: "As the Beards Of A Feather flock together and Blankety Blank returns to our screens, Sharon Marshall has picked out her top TV shows to watch this Christmas.
As he started to shake his head, he continued: "She's bringing us all that plus the festive soap shockers in just..."
The alliteration all seemed to get a bit much for him as he then stopped and exclaimed: "Who the hell wrote this? Are you trying to get me to swear?"
His co-host Holly Willoughby and TV expert Sharon couldn't stop laughing as Phil put his head in his hands.
He then added: "Ugh, talk about on thin ice."
They then went to chat to the Loose Women panel and Ruth Langsford said: "We were feeling your pain there Phillip!" and then joked: "That sounded like a Sharon Marshall script to me!"

Meanwhile, earlier in the episode Holly and Phil had a slight disagreement over what people get up to at their Christmas parties.
Holly revealed she would photocopy her bum at a work Christmas party but slams people who CHEAT with their co-workers.
She said: "It's the ITV staff Christmas party tonight but hopefully everyone will be behaving themselves...unlike some we've been reading about."
Phillip continued: "One report suggests up to half of us have witnessed a married colleague copping off with a co-worker but is a little kiss under the mistletoe really so unforgivable?"
Holly, who is married to TV producer Dan Baldwin, became indignant at this suggestion and exclaimed: "No!"
Phil then asked: "Not even a little peck? How far can you go under the mistletoe?"
She added: "You're not allowed to snog! And also intent is a bad thing because it's not just about the kiss.
"It's that you've made a series of decisions leading up to that point."
Philip then lightened the mood by asking if she'd photocopy her bum to which she replied: "Yeah, definitely! As long as you're not in bodily contact with anybody else!"
He then cheekily added: "No more than a kiss" but Holly added: "No more than a peck!"
This Morning airs weekdays from 10.30am on ITV.
