Olly Murs distracts ITV This Morning viewers after 'landing job' on the show

Olly Murs left viewers of This Morning distracted as he appeared to land a job on the programme. The singer was live on the ITV daytime show on Wednesday (March 1) to chat to Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield about his upcoming tour, hosting Starstruck and his upcoming nuptials to fiancee Amelia Tank.

But before he sat down on the famous sofa, Olly got himself involved in the show's other matters as he was included in the show's latest edition of the popular game, Spin To Win. In an unusual turn of events, the first called successful answered the phone and gave the right passphrase in order to carry on with the game - which often suffers various disasters.

And Olly was given the honour of spinning the wheel, which landed on £1,000 before discovering the show's additional prize, the 'bag of shizzle'. But Olly's work wasn't done as Holly told him: "You're a presenter now, you do it," as she got the former X Factor star to take over in reading the autocue.

Olly seemed chuffed with his first bit of presenting on This Morning and he then also led to programme into the competition with Andi Peters before he was able to sit down and chat with Phillip, 60, and Holly, 42.

And viewers enjoyed it. @blurredpain said: "I want Olly to spin that wheel for me #thismorning." @AnnaAshton_ shared: "CREASING at @ollymurs just standing there during spin to win. All so he could spin the wheel, adorbs #thismorning."

However, as they came to wrap up the interview, Phillip couldn't help but joke: "Well done by the way. Some serious heads watching your presenting skills." But while he may be a natural on This Morning, he quipped back: "Your jobs are safe."

And some This Morning viewers were a fan of Olly, 38, and his momentary stint as host. @EthanHallidayUK tweeted: "Petition to get @ollymurs as a regular guest presenter on @thismorning! @ollymurs and @AlisonHammond would be UNSTOPPABLE together!" To which @Auntie_Dana replied: "Yes Ethan! I was thinking the same thing!!"

Meanwhile, others were distracted by Olly's choice of all-matching attire. The Heart Skips and Beat and Troublemaker singer was seen sporting a grey top, trousers, and jacket all in the same colour and material.

@GarryVaux tweeted: "Olly Murs seems to be wearing static TV interference #thismorning." @____cm85 echoed: "Olly murs dressed like a telly that’s lost it’s signal on this morning there." @VincentVankOff commented: "Why is Olly Murs wearing his mum's curtains? #ThisMorning."
