THIS Morning’s Dermot O’Leary suffered an embarrassing blunder today when a melting ice lolly dripped all over his trousers.
The TV star devoured the refreshing snack while showing viewers how to make delicious lollies at home during the UK heatwave.
Dermot O’Leary hosted This Morning with Alison Hammond today
A member of crew was forced to run on air and hand him a towel
Dermot couldn’t resist trying out the lollies
Dermot, 49, looked dapper in navy pants and a khaki shirt, but almost suffered a wardrobe malfunction while testing the sweet treats.
An excited Dermot dived straight to the selection of lollies, going for a homemade Calippo that had been sitting in the warm studio for a tad too long.
Moments later he was seen calling out to a member of the studio crew who ran on set and handed him a towel.
Taking to Twitter, one fan joked: “Dermot having a premature spillage!!!”
Another viewer said: “That’s what happens when you act like an overexcited child Dermot!”
“Oh Dermot’s dripping,” another said.
Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield usually host This Morning on Mondays to Thursdays, but are now on their annual summer break.
As well as Alison and Dermot, Ruth Langsford and Rylan Clark will be teaming up to host some episodes over the summer.
Other double acts include Rochelle Humes and Andi Peters and Josie Gibson and Craig Doyle.
Rochelle’s former The Saturdays bandmate Mollie King will also be stepping in as presenter.
