ITV This Morning viewers hysterical as dog causes chaos in studio and eats chef Ainsley Harriott's chicken

Vernon Kay and Josie Gibson were back presenting This Morning on Wednesday - and it was an entertaining show to say the least. The amusing duo are standing in for hosts Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield whilst they take their annual Easter break.

TV star Vernon and Big Brother winner Josie have been praised by viewers for their presenting flair, with many fans of the show demanding that ITV gives them a permanent role as hosts.

During today's show the pair welcomed a guest onto the sofa who claimed to be able to talk to animals and read their minds. Beth Lee-Crowther was being interviewed by Vernon and Josie and told them how she has been able to speak to animals since she was a young child.

The animal psychic brought her own pet dog Misty along with her, and it was her four-legged friend who stole the show. Misty had a mind of her own and ended up wondering around the studio whilst her owner was busy chatting to the hosts.

As Josie asked Beth, "what do you think Misty is thinking right now because she's actually done a runner."

Vernon laughed and pointed to the cheeky dog, "I tell you what Misty is thinking, Misty has tucked into Ainsley's chicken."

The camera then panned over to the cooking area where the show's runners could then be seen taking chef Ainsley Harriott's dish away from the dog before trying to catch her.

As Josie and the rest of the studio laughed, Vernon added: "Look at everybody frantically clearing up that is absolutely brilliant. Just make sure Ainsley makes another casserole please because I don't want that one. She's having a whale of a time.

"Well of course she is she's had chicken cooked by Ainsley Harriott himself," Josie laughed.

Later on in the show, viewers phoned in and sent a picture of their animals with the hope that Beth could tell them exactly what their pets were thinking and feeling.

But some Twitter users who tuned into This Morning were less than impressed.

"Is woman for real or is it a late April fools joke?? 'I can talk to my animals. I know what they are saying.' Well the dog stole the food in the kitchen and didn’t tell you," said Sue.

Another tweeted: "Misty clearly bonded with the roast chicken more than anyone else."
