During Holly and Phil's phone chat with Miriam Margolyes about her upcoming role in the Call The Midwife Christmas special, the background screens went black.

The camera operators quickly changed the angle but viewers at home - and joker Keith Lemon - noticed the gaffe.

Holly then interview Keith and Paddy McGuinness about the new series of The Keith & Paddy Picture Show when she blamed him for the error.

Paddy pointed at the fake view and said: "This is my first time in the new studios and they're alright...but it's that for me," as he pulled a face.

 Paddy said he didn't like the fake screens and Keith pointed out the error

Keith then interrupted and said: "Oh, it went off, the camera had to go right into you."

Holly asked him to stop talking and said: "Shhhh" but he laughed and said: "I love that stuff. "Someone must have pulled the plug and it all went black".

Holly then said: "I bet it was you! I reckon you were outside like that," as she mimicked him plugging it out and back in quickly.

Viewers at home also noticed the glitch and took to Twitter to share snaps with one writing: "So the whole background is just a screen then?? It went black and they tried to quickly change the camera but failed! 😂😂 #ThisMorning".

It comes after The Sun revealed how they recorded the old view for over a year so they could play any weather on the screens in the new studio.

Viewers were stunned last month when Holly and Phil presented live from the BBC’s former studios in West London – with their old view in the background.

The pair joked about the clever technology and many fans admitted they could barely tell the difference.

A source explained: “It was filmed throughout the seasons and looks really authentic. Everyone has been so positive about it, it’s been brilliant.”

An official spokesperson for This Morning added: “We love the view so much we brought it with us!”
