Holly Willoughby revealed a massive Star Wars: The Last Jedi spoiler live on air during an interview with John Boyega.

The actor - who stars in the franchise as Finn - was appearing on This Morning to promote the new Rian Johnson-directed sequel when his interviewer, sat alongside co-presenter Philip Schofield, honed in on one particular plot point which is sure to leave fans reeling (don't worry - we won't spoil here).

"And the fans will be very excited because [REDACTED],” Willoughby said, leaving Boyega speechless.

Looking off-screen in shock, the British star replied: “Holly, Holly... you can’t tell the fans exactly what happens."

Willoughby, who clearly didn't realise the extent of the revelation, tried to clear up the mess, saying: “I don’t know, I don’t know what happens… that is out there" while Schofield exclaimed: "It's been released!" (we're not sure where he's looking...).

Ever the professional, Boyega tried to erase Willoughby's awkwardness, clearly acknowledging her blunder as an innocent mistake.
