ITV This Morning's Easter Egg taste test leaves child crying as she drops egg

They say you should never work with children on TV and Alice Beer found out exactly why after a chaotic Easter Egg taste test on This Morning.

Alice was taste testing eggs with children on today's show - but the segment descended into chaos - after one child dropped a luxury egg.

Introducing the Aldi ruby chocolate egg - which Eammon particularly enjoyed - Alice spoke about the unique egg- before handing it back to the child who promptly dropped it.

The devastated child said: "I broke the chocolate" and started to cry, Alice desperately tried to comfort her - but she quickly ran off upset.

The following children were then forced to step around the huge blocks of broken chocolate, as there was no time to clean it up.

The segment continued and other children made viewers smile, as they ignored the presenters questions and refused to eat chocolate.

And fans took to social media in their droves after the incident.

One said: "Oscar blanking Ruth, job done lad."
