It wasn't a good morning for anyone with a spider phobia on Wednesday., October 5. In fact, before the opening titles had concluded on ITV's This Morning programme, some viewers were turning off.
Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield returned to the daytime show with Holly taking the lead to instantly apologise to viewers. The titles and theme tune had run, but with a difference. Spiders were crawling across the screen.
The TV host began: "Hello, good morning and welcome to your Wednesday's This Morning. As you might have noticed from our titles it's all very spooky and scary in her today, especially if you're not a fan of spiders". Phillip added: "We will be putting up spider alerts for anyone who doesn’t like spiders throughout the show." But admitted: "Although we didn’t warn you that they were going to be running across your screen at the beginning." Holly let out a 'sorry' as her co-star carried on speaking.
