Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby in hysterics as Anneka Rice mistakes Kevin Clifton's phone for his bulge

There were hilarious scenes on This Morning as Anneka Rice made a blunder while being interviewed alongside her Strictly Come Dancing partner Kevin Clifton.

The interview descended into chaos as Anneka pointed at the dancer's leg and asked 'what's that?'

As Kevin confirmed that it was his phone in his pocket and nothing else, hosts Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby burst into hysterical laughter.

"Easy Anneka," laughed Kevin.

"It's the Strictly curse already," roared Phillip.

"One week, one week," he laughed.

"Well we didn't expect that this morning," added Kevin.

The Treasure Hunt and Challenge Anneka star was chatting about their progress on the BBC One dance show when she stopped in her tracks to make the hilarious observation.

Kevin shared the clip with crying-with-laughter face emojis on Twitter, and fans told him the moment had made their morning.

"Anneka...national treasure," commented one amused viewer.

"Omg can’t stop laughing," said another.

"I love this so much," laughed another.
