Holly Willoughby fumes on This Morning after thinking Alison Hammond called her 'Miss Piggy'

Holly Willoughby was momentarily left fuming at the start of This Morning today.

The ITV presenter had to confess to the chaos that was happening just moments before she and Phillip Schofield went live on air.

Holly, 39, thought that Alison Hammond had called her Miss Piggy after the Muppets character.

The mum-of-three was rocking a retro-style denim blue dress, which she wore with a white, high-neck top underneath.

And the offence was real - until she realised she mis-heard what the This Morning reporter had said.

That's because Alison actually said she looked like 60s fashion icon Twiggy.

Moments into the start of Tuesday's show, Holly said: "Alison Hamonnd, who is just behind my camera there, went: 'You look nice like Miss Piggy.

"And I went, 'Miss Piggy?!"

Alison told her: "No Twiggy!"

Holly added: "Literally three seconds before we went on air and she spat her water out across the room!"

Alison was in stitches by the gaffe (ITV)

The trio collapsed into laughter before Holly added: "How to make a girl feel good, thanks very much."

Slightly red-faced by the mistake, Alison responded: "You look like Twiggy, you look beautiful!

"I look like Miss Piggy," as she continued to laugh at her own mis-hap.

This Morning airs weekdays from 10am on ITV.
