The 36-year-old ITV favourite and her co-host Phillip Schofield, 55, were joined by an unusual guest at the beginning of the show as they celebrated the return of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!
Holly Willoughby could be seen looking uncomfortable holding the tail end of the large white snake while Phillip held the head, the animal draped over both their shoulders.
“It’s the tongue bit that puts me off slightly,” she said nervously, eyeing the snake.
As they tried to continue on with their presenting duties, however, it started to coil it’s tail around her leg.
Squealing in horror, the blonde beauty asked: “What do I do, what do I do?!”
“Oh good lord,” Phillip giggled. “Just let it happen!”
“I don’t know what to do,” she exclaimed, panicking as the animal began to tighten it’s grip around her calf, clearly visible through the thigh-high split in her chic grey skirt.
“Can you get it off?” she begged, trying to remain calm as she and Phillip fell about laughing whilst trying not to disturb the snake lounging on their shoulders.
Finally, a handler hurried into the shot, uncoiling the tail from around her and taking the animal off them as Holly tried to compose herself, straightening her outfit after her scary ordeal.
“Oh my gosh, that made me panic a little bit,” she said, slightly hysterically, wiping tears of laughter form her cheeks.
This Morning airs weekdays at 10.30am on ITV.
