This Morning's Phillip Schofield staggered by Spin to Win player who can't answer easy question

Phillip Schofield became exasperated with a Spin to Win caller on today's This Morning before yelling out the correct answer to a question.

Spin to Win is a popular segment on the hit ITV daytime show. It sees a giant arcade-style wheel descend from above the studio, adorned with differing sums of money.

Players have to answer their phone to the This Morning presenters by saying the day's correct pass phrase in order to be allowed to play the game and stand a chance of winning a cash prize.

Phi then spins the wheel to land on a figure for the lucky player to win.

Today, the This Morning presenter was speaking to a player from Sheffield who won £1,000. She was excited after recently getting engaged, telling Phil and co-host Rochelle Humes any cash would come in handy for her wedding.

To win a "bonus, money-can't-buy prize", which includes This Morning merchandise and even a candle scented like the famous studio, the player had to name the 2020 winner of Strictly Come Dancing.

But the player couldn't name winner Bill Bailey, who is putting in an appearance on This Morning later today.

She said: "I don't know, I haven't been watching, I'm working."

Trying to help, Rochelle said: "His surname is like a very Christmassy drink."

Rochelle added: "Think of a name that rhymes with Phil."

Phil pretended to be reading his gas bill, asking the player what he was pretending to look at in order to help give her the answer.

Rochelle told her to "think of a man's name that begins with 'B' and rhymes with Phil" but the player kept saying she didn't know.

Exasperated, Phil shouted: "Bill Bailey! Say the words, Bill Bailey."

The player then said Bill Bailey's name in order to bag the prize.

Phil jokingly clutched a stool in faux exhaustion. He told the player: "Listen, I don't know when you're going to be able to get married but we wish you lots of love."

*This Morning airs weekdays on ITV from 10am
