This Morning turns car crash minutes into broadcast as red-faced cameraman drops equipment and ITV guest is caught scrolling on their phone
Presenters Cat Deeley, 48, and Ben Shephard, 50, returned to our screens to host the ITV show, and at the start of the instalment, they were keen to share what viewers could expect.
The pair explained one guest joining them on the iconic sofa was actress Jo Joyner, 47, who was there to talk about her new series Little Disasters.
Cat said: 'The gripping psychological series starring the wonderful Jo Joyner, and she's popping in to tell us all about it a little bit later on.'
Ben chimed in: 'She's amazing,' before adding: 'You alright over there Ed?'
Cat asked: 'Ed, are you alright?'

'Little crash landing?,' Ben questioned.
As Cat started to laugh, Ben said to himself: 'Yeah he is okay.'
Talking to Ed, who was out of shot, he added: 'It is a dramatic thriller! I can understand. It's a little collapse on camera two.'
Cat couldn't contain her laughter as she giggled behind her co-host and said: 'He's gone pink!'
That wasn't the only blunder that happened at the start of the episode.
Later on the pair spoke to David Domoney live from his garden in Warwickshire.
Ben was a little confused over Cat's stance and she said told him: 'Just stretching, you know.'
'Tight hips?' Ben questioned.
But Cat told him: 'You know, we can't all be like Men's Health can we?', making reference to his topless magazine cover which was published earlier this week.
The camera showed a wide shot of the studio as the chatted away to each other, and guests radio host Tom Swarbrick, 38, and Baroness Sayeeda Warsi, 54, could be seen sitting at the table.
They regularly appear on the ITV show to discuss the weekly topics and headlines with Cat and Ben.
But Tom clearly didn't realise that he was in the shot because he was seen sitting in the chair while on his mobile.
After a few seconds the shot went back to just Cat and Ben, and he asked her: 'What was that by the way?'
Cat told him: 'That was a bit of "Where's the beach?" I'm just having a stretch.'
As the camera went back to a wide shot, Tom was STILL scrolling on his device.
Ben asked Cat: 'Your hips struggling?'
'I don't know, I don't know,' Cat confessed.
It comes after Ben Shephard barked back at David Walliams as he took a swipe at his topless magazine shoot live on This Morning.
Tuesday's instalment of the ITV show saw the TV star, 53, chat to hosts Ben, 50, and Cat Deeley, 48, about his brand new book The World's Worst Superheroes.
The pair were keen to find out about the characters in the novel, including one called Super Dave.
Ben said to the comedian: 'Some of them are made up and some of them are real... so tell us about actual Super Dave?'
David jokingly said: 'Well Super Dave is a bit like Ben Shephard but without the steroids.'
The comment made Ben and Cat burst into laughter.
Ben sternly told him: 'It's not steroids, David.'
The camera then panned in on David cracking up as his own joke.
Ben added: 'It's just protein.'
David said: 'Protein shakes, that was it.'
Ben showed off his rippling muscles for a striking Men's Health UK cover on Tuesday.

Laurence Fox ‘paedophile' posts would not have been taken seriously, appeal told
Social media posts by Laurence Fox referring to two people as paedophiles likely would not have been taken 'seriously' by many people, the Court of Appeal has heard. The actor was successfully sued by now- Stonewall CEO Simon Blake and drag artist Crystal over a row on Twitter, now known as X. Mr Fox called Mr Blake and the former RuPaul's Drag Race contestant, whose real name is Colin Seymour, 'paedophiles' in an exchange about a decision by Sainsbury's to mark Black History Month in October 2020. Mr Fox called for a boycott of the supermarket and was called 'a racist' by the pair, as well as broadcaster Nicola Thorp, before he responded with the 'paedophile' tweets which led to the libel claims. In two judgments in 2024, Mrs Justice Collins Rice ruled in favour of Mr Blake and Mr Seymour and said Mr Fox should pay the pair £90,000 each in damages. The judge dismissed Mr Fox's counter claims against the pair and Ms Thorp over tweets accusing him of racism. The 47-year-old is now challenging the rulings at the Court of Appeal in London, attending the first day of the hearing on Monday. Patrick Green KC, for Mr Fox, said in written submissions that the judgment which found Mr Fox had libelled the pair should be quashed due to 'errors of approach' by the judge, including over whether Mr Blake and Mr Seymour were caused serious harm. Mr Green said: 'Her conclusions were in any event, plainly wrong, on any fair consideration of the evidence.' The barrister added that Mrs Justice Collins Rice had wrongly decided damages for the two men, who, along with Ms Thorp, are opposing the appeal. Mr Green said that the decision on damages did not consider the actual words Mr Fox used 'and the likelihood that many or the vast majority of readers would have not have taken them seriously, particularly in their context'. The barrister said that in one of her rulings, the judge 'ignores the actual words used, or their all important context'. He also said the judge 'failed to account adequately or at all' for an apology Mr Fox made, or alleged misconduct by Mr Blake and Mr Seymour in 'exaggerating' the harm and distress caused. Mr Fox told the original trial in November 2023 that his use of the term was 'rhetorical', and 'there was no inference at any point that I thought they were a paedophile'. 'I was diminishing the ridiculousness of calling me a racist,' he said. And on Monday, Mr Green said it was clear Mr Fox was being rhetorical. The barrister told appeal judges: 'He's not saying 'I am a racist and they are paedophiles' and everyone understood it in that way.' Adrienne Page KC, for Mr Blake, Mr Seymour and Ms Thorp, said in written submissions that Mr Fox's appeal was 'lacking in merit'. She continued: 'The 'paedophile' tweets did not embody the appellant's opinions about Mr Blake and Mr Seymour. 'They conveyed factual imputations of the most serious defamatory character.' The barrister added there was 'no meaningful retraction or apology' by Mr Fox. She later said: 'Whichever way one looks at it, the judge was fully entitled to reach the factual conclusions that she did on the serious, real-world, reputational impact of the appellant's tweets, for the reasons which she gave. 'There was nothing wrong with her analysis in fact or law.' Ms Page added that Mr Fox's case at trial had been 'largely devoted to hypothesising, as already noted, a series of different scenarios as to the various ways or settings in which his tweets may have appeared to different readers'. 'After very careful and conscientious evaluation, the judge was, unsurprisingly, not persuaded of this on the facts,' she continued. Ms Page continued that the sums of £90,000 in damages awarded to the pair were 'unexceptionable'. The hearing before Lord Justice Dingemans, Lady Justice Elisabeth Laing and Lord Justice Warby is expected to conclude on Tuesday.

ITV drama to be hit with parent lock and 'trigger warning' over 'satanic' scenes
Inspector Morse is reported to have been handed a "trigger warning" on some episodes on its streaming platform ITVX ITV 's beloved Inspector Morse is set to include a new "trigger warning" on some of its episodes, causing quite a stir among fans online, with some labelling the move as "woke". The popular crime series will reportedly now feature a pre-warning before streaming on ITV's online platform, ITVX. One episode in question, titled Day of the Devil, will even come with a parental lock due to its potentially distressing content, including "satanic images". The broadcasting network has reportedly extended its warning to other past episodes, particularly those featuring crime and violence. The show, which aired for an impressive 13 years and spans eight series, remains a hit to this day. With streaming now popular across all age groups, it's crucial for internet giants to take necessary precautions. The contentious episode follows Inspector Morse, portrayed by John Thaw, and his reliable sidekick detective sergeant Robbie Lewis, played by Kevin Whately, as they track down a devil-worshipping cult involved in a serious rape offence, reports the Express. One particularly chilling scene depicts a Satanist being burned to death during a black mass. Senior MP Sir Alec Shelbrooke expressed his outrage about the alleged update to The Sun, warning that "Britain would soon be laughed at," for appearing overly sensitive. He declared: "This is another example of soft-touch Britain seeping into everything. We're just going to be laughed at as a country if things like this continue, because nobody's prepared for the real world." The Mirror has contacted ITV for comment. Previous alerts have formerly broadcast warnings over "programming that contains politically sensitive or distressing themes, content, or language has carried appropriate warnings since our launch". In more recent developments, Netflix found itself at the heart of controversy over a sequence that reportedly left "many millions of women hot under the collar". A moment from Jane Austen's beloved Pride and Prejudice, featuring Colin Firth as Mr Darcy emerging from lake waters back in 1995, has now been removed. It's understood the romantic drama's famous sequence was axed to prevent any "objectifying men" accusations being levelled at the streaming giant. According to The Sun, Netflix "did not want a repeat" of Poldark where Aidan Turner's shirtless scene sparked considerable controversy. A source revealed to the publication: "It is also credited for sparking subsequent moments of male objectification on screen - like Aidan Turner's famous topless scything scene in Poldark."
