Holly Willoughby struggles to pronounce Strictly star's name in hilarious blunder

Phillip Schofield was in hysterics today as Holly Willoughby suffered an awkward blunder as she struggled to pronounce a Strictly star today.

The 38-year-old presenter had been announcing what was coming up on This Morning today when she became a little tongue-tied.

She was supposed to announce that Strictly Come Dancing professional Aljaz Skorjanec and Viscountess Emma Weymouth would be appearing on the show, but it all went a bit wrong.

Holly told viewers: "And Strictly's Aljaz and his partner van-ca-ban... Emma's waltzing their way to the studio."

She began laughing as Phil tried to stifle his own giggles, putting a hand in front of his mouth.

Apologising, Holly wrapped her arms around Phil's shoulders and grinned sheepishly.

While another commented: "Going to be one of THOSE days eh.... @hollywills @Schofe @thismorning."

A third remarked: "Emma who?"
