One of the perils of live TV is that when shit hits the fan, you can't cover it up in the edit or do a re-take, and everyone can see it. It must be intensely stressful.

Today's (May 1) This Morning wasn't that bad for host Phillip Schofield, since there weren't any fans. But there was shit.

Phil and Holly Willoughby were chatting to an animal shelter worker who had brought in French bulldogs Coco and Chanel, when one of them went toilet on the carpet.

Ever the professional, Phil quickly got some tissues and proceeded to scoop the poop. Do you reckon the This Morning studio has a special bin just for dog poo like they do in parks, when all you want is a normal bin?

We've not had an animal poop on a This Morning presenter since... well, April. Emily Atack was hosting her first episode of the show when she dropped a lamb and it decided to have its revenge.

If this happens again in the next month or so, someone should start an inquest into if these animals are making dirty protests against ITV's continued employment of Piers Morgan.

This morning's This Morning also went off air for 5 to 10 seconds without there being any explanation, leading to fans thinking Thanos had snapped the show out of existence.

This Morning airs weekdays and Sundays on ITV.
