Holly Willoughby left red-faced by This Morning autocue blunder leaving Phillip Schofield in hysterics

Holly Willoughby was left a little red-faced during her latest This Morning appearance following an auto-cue blunder.

The presenter was back on the ITV show on Tuesday alongside Phillip Schofield.

And as ever, the pair played a game of Spin to Win to help one lucky caller bag some cash.

Viewer Chris managed to win £2,000 and the 'bag of shizzle' featuring This Morning branded treats.

"I knew I liked you, your my favourite," Holly told Chris as she finally got to spin the tombola instead of the wheel.

It was all going well as they said goodbye to Chris and Phillip told viewers can still apply to play Spin to Win during another episode.

Holly then went on to introduce the ITV daytime competition which sees a BMW and £90,000 up for grabs.

But instead of grabs, Holly confidently said "crabs" leaving her putting her hand over her mouth in horror as her co-host instantly began to laugh.

"That's unfortunate," he joked as Holly struggled to speak, bowing her head away from the camera as she tried to stifle her giggles.

"Are you up for crabs?" Phil then shouted, not helping Holly with her on-going laughter.

"You don't want to win that one," she managed to say through her hysterics before Phil carried on: "What did you get from This Morning? Crabs."

Holly quickly tried to move on and finish her link but as the camera was about to cut away she was heard saying: "Oh my God."

That's live TV for you, right?

Holly is back on This Morning after taking an extra week off following her Easter break.

After teasing a secret project, the 40-year-old finally revealed the news that she's releasing her first book later this year.

Holly described the book, which is titled Reflections, as "thoughts and musings" from her on "inner and outer beauty."
