Holly Willoughby admitted that she almost ended up having to host This Morning alone after Phillip Schofield made an awkward blunder today.
The 39-year-old opened the show today with Phil by her side, but explained that that almost hadn't been the case.
She told viewers: "You are lucky you've got two of us today because I was almost presenting the show alone, wasn't I? What happened to you today?!"
Phil responded: "On your phone, you set your alarm from Monday to Thursday. Last week, it went off perfectly.
"This morning, it just didn't bother. How can that happen?!"
"I don't know how that can happen," Holly said.
"It just didn't happen," Phil sighed.
"That's quite scary," Holly conceded. "So you had a last minute dash?"
Phil replied: "Yes! It's when you wake up and you look at your phone and your heart just goes, 'Boof!'"
Holly said: "It happens once a year though and at least you've got yours out of the way early on in the term."
*This Morning airs weekdays at 10am on ITV
