Holly Willoughby struggled to keep her cool after a large spider invaded the This Morning set live on-air.
Never a dull moment!
As Phillip Schofield and Holly were getting ready to introduce the next segment during Thursday’s edition of the daytime show, a gruesome intruder entered the premises.
The 40-year-old host was left cringing by the eight-legged insect and begged for the cameramen to ‘stop filming it.’
During the commotion, Holly was quick to warn those at home with a ‘spider fear’ to look away.
‘It doesn’t look so big on the telly, but it’s really big. Can someone put a glass over it,’ she said as the camera zoomed in on the giant insect.
Yep, we would freak out too (Picture: ITV)

After a member of the production team moved closer, the spider scurried out of sight.
The mum-of-three gestured a shooing motion and said: ‘Can we just make it go that way.’
‘We are transmitting this!’ yelled Phillip.
Luckily someone managed to put a glass cup over it – which meant Holly regained her composure.

In case anyone was wondering, the spider was later set free outside.
Those watching were quick to comment on the incident, with one writing: ‘Can we stop showing the spider on #ThisMorning please some of us can almost feel it on us at this point.
