It's been some week for Rylan Clark in the This Morning studio. The presenter is co-hosting with Ruth Langsford as regular show stars Holly Willoughby and Phil Schofield enjoy their annual summer break.
On Monday, as he kick-started his return to the ITV sofa after being away from his old colleagues for the past few years, he was the victim of a cruel prank involving a snake, which is one of his biggest fears, and he ended up 'walking off' the set.
And today (Thursday) he was forced to revisit the harrowing moment when regular contributor Gyles Brandreth turned up for a segment wearing a jumper which was adorned by a giant green snake.
