The 39-year-old TV presenter went to spend a penny during an ad break on 'This Morning', but she didn't realise her blunder until she walked back into the studio to see everyone looking bashful.

After watching a viral clip of a guy suffering the same fate, Holly confessed on Wednesday's (25.03.20) show: "I have done it! But not that long ago, only the other day I came into the studio and everybody was looking at the floor. I went, 'What happened?' And Phil went, 'You might have left your mic on.'

"Luckily, I only went for a little, lady-like tinkle! It was so lady-like... not like this guy!"

Holly and her co-host Phillip Schofield are still on air during the coronavirus pandemic because the government has classed them as an "essential service", though the majority of the 'This Morning' crew have remained at home.

The 'Celebrity Juice' team captain suffered a wardrobe blunder after taking matters into her own hands as her glam squad have been on quarantine.

Phillip posted an Instagram Story of the pair on set on Tuesday (24.03.20), where Holly explained that she had popped up on 'Good Morning Britain' earlier in the day and was completely unaware her dress was covered in tissue paper.

She said: "I'm dressed. I'm ready to go. I was just on 'GMB' and then my stylist texted me going, 'Morning, hope you're OK, loving the show - one thing, the buttons on your right arm are covered in a coating. I think it might be tissue paper.' "

Holly then held up her two sleeves for comparison, adding: "I've just been on telly like that."

Phillip quipped: "We seriously should not be let loose on our own."
