This Morning hosts ‘freaked out’ as humanoid robot opens show

An unusual guest opened Friday’s (27 February) episode of This Morning - a dancing robot that left the hosts “freaked out”.

Harold the robot showed off his dance moves to Tom Jones’ “Sexbomb” in the ITV studio before hosts Dermot O’Leary and Alison Hammond walked on set.

“Hello everyone and welcome to Friday's This Morning,” it announced.

After making their entrance, O’Leary joked that it was “only a question of time” until the duo were replaced by humanoid bots.

“Harold you are too good, it's freaking me out,” he added, before him and Hammond began dancing with the bot.
