MICE TO SEE YOU
Holly Willoughby screams she ‘nearly wet herself’ on This Morning as the studio is sent into chaos by a mouse
The commotion happened off air and left Phil and Holly frazzled when they returned

Holly said: "We have a mouse, during the break it ran out and was by a pillar. I love the way that you (crew member) decided the best way to catch it was by using a brass pot."
She blamed the appearance of the rodent on the drum she was given by Phillip from his South African trip, and added: "There's more than one in here. There's one that lives over there and there's one that lives over here and I think they were enticed out by the drum."

But Phillip seemed to have grown fond of the critter, saying: "The one that was sitting listening to health headlines was sitting there looking like: 'Oh I like this.' I like mice, I think they're sweet."
But Holly wasn't having any of it and insisted she'd prefer the mouse to be"self-contained".

Phillip later teased her by pretending the mouse had got to her feet.
Holly said: "I nearly fell off my heels, I nearly swore and I nearly wet myself - any one of those would have been bad!"
