Holly Willoughby apologises to This Morning guest after awkward on-air blunder
A This Morning guest was left drenched today and Holly Willoughby was forced to apologise after Craig Doyle chucked a lemon in her direction and hit a glass.
Holly and Craig took on hosting duties on Thursday and the presenters were excited to tell viewers that Jamie Oliver would be cooking up a storm in the kitchen.
The celeb chef revealed he was making a Mediterranean-inspired prawn pasta and would be using lemons to give it a citrus kick.
Rugby enthusiast Craig, 52, told viewers: “I know Jamie Oliver is into a bit of rugby these days so watch this, I’m going to do a bit of man bonding,” before continuing to pass a lemon to him across the studio.
Jamie, 48, returned the pass, shouting “and one back” as Holly dived out of the way.
Grinning Craig caught it one handed and without thinking he lobbed it again in the opposite direction.
Viewers heard a loud crash and the camera panned towards Sonia Sodha, who was caught in the crossfire.
Holly screeched: “Oh my good God. Sorry, Sonia!
“you are actually drenched. And that is why I stay away from sport.
“You just covered her. Can someone get a towel for Sonia?”
“Sports fun though isn’t it?” Craig said before telling her “I’m so sorry Sonia.”
The journalist replied: “It was actually incredibly refreshing, it is so hot today!”
Normal service resumed shortly after when LBC star Nick Ferrari joined them to discuss the top stories of the day.
