Holly Willoughby jokes she is 'leaving' ITV This Morning for Loose Women

Holly Willoughby said she was 'leaving' This Morning to join Loose Women after co-host Phillip Schofield's spooky prank.

The 38-year-old has already admitted she is easily frightened and Phil saw his chance to spook her during a live show, while they were just about to hand over to the loose ladies to see what was coming up on their ITV panel show.

But as Holly was talking to the viewers at home, Phil had a creepy skeleton hand that he made crawl across Holly's shoulders.

Not realising what was happening, Holly briefly looked down and spotted the hand, causing her to jump and shout at Phil: "What are you doing?"

Phil and the Loose Women panel fell about laughing but Holly didn't find it as funny and joked she was going to join Loose Women.

Phil, still laughing, said: "Every time."

Ruth Langsford said: "Gets her every time."

Holly later forced Phil to apologise, and said: "What do you need to say?"

Phil said: "Sorry."

Fans on Twitter thought it was hilarious, @DavidMackayy said: "Holly's like a child, terrified by every item to do with Halloween"
