Holly Willoughby left red-faced after falling off chair during Zoom chat with Phil Schofield

Holly Willoughby has recalled falling off her chair during a live Zoom call with Phillip Schofield.

This Morning presenter Holly, 39, told viewers how she went flying backwards while Phil, 58, watched on during a murder mystery party he hosted with his family.

Phil told viewers: "The best moment - thank goodness I looked up - and as I looked up, Holly disappeared out of shot. Completely fell off your chair."

Holly explained: "Yeah. The best wifi is where the kids sit to do their homework, so I was perched on one of the kids' tripp trapp chair type things.

"And if you've got one of these, the seat slides out a bit so obviously when I'm sitting on it it's moving, it's moving, it's edging back, it's edging back, and suddenly it gave up."

She continued: "It was like somebody had opened a trap door from underneath me and I went back, my legs went up and my feet were just in Zoom, with my riding boots on.

"And, thank god I had my riding helmet on, because I lent back - and Harry [Holly's son] plays the drums - and I hit the drum kit."

Phil interrupts, adding: "She disappeared out of shot and her legs shot up and she gave herself her own badum tss as her head hit the drum kit.

"I wish they recorded it, I'm so sad it doesn't exist anywhere."
