This Morning guest red-faced after huge blunder during interview

A This Morning guest was left red-faced today after their phone went off during an interview.

Dr Stephen Westaby appeared on the show to speak about his new book "The Knife's Edge."

Dr Stephen was billed as the "World's best heart surgeon" but the interview was interrupted when his phone went off.

The distinctive ping could be heard going off, with Ruth and Eammon reaching down to the table to see if it was their device.

Then Dr Stephen said it could be his and then quipped: "Well you see doctors can't switch their phones off."

The phone then continued to go off throughout the chat, districting fans who were quick to spot the blunder.
