'Why does my dog hate Ben Shephard?' - Call to This Morning pet psychic leaves viewers in stitches

This Morning host Phillip Schofield was in stitches after reading out a rather bizarre call for help from a viewer.

Sandra was seeking help from a pet psychic who was being featured on the show and Phil read out her concern before erupting into laughter:

"Sandra's asked, 'Why does my dog hate Ben Shephard?'"

Unable to contain her laughter, Holly Willoughby also had a giggle at their fellow ITV presenters expense.

When he was able to carry on, Phil added: "My dog Millie hates Ben Shephard and Tipping Point.

"She gets hysterical if she sees or hears Ben Shephard on TV/

"I love Tipping Point, but can't watch it anymore as it's too traumatic for Millie!"

After pulling themselves together, pet psychic Beth Lee-Crowther, explained it could be Sandra's hidden feelings for Ben which makes her dog react:

"I don't think she hates him, but what I think she picks up on is that, I don't know whether you've got a soft spot for Ben Shephard actually, Sandra, but you get quite excited when this programme comes on.

"She picks up on that energy and those vibes and almost anticipates what's going to happen and gets into an excitable state."

Fans of the show were keen to Tweet following the segment.

One said: "Poor Ben I like him!", with another adding "This is the kind of thing i watch @thismorning for!"

Others added: "Why does my dog hate @benshephard?" I can't stop laughing" and ""Why does my dog hate @benshephard?" Not an everyday topic for #ThisMorning ".

This Morning returns at 10am every weekday morning on ITV.
