Phillip Schofield burned 'very badly' in This Morning accident

This Morning's Phillip Schofield had his skin burnt off after an unfortunate accident on set.

The presenter was on the receiving end of a nasty burn during one of the programme's hands-on segments. He and co-host Holly Willoughby often test unusual products to see who has a better grasp of the item.

The pair were set to test out a pair of high street steamers today but Phillip was apprehensive about getting started. In a similar scene not long ago, he left the studio with intense burns after a glue gun melted directly onto his hand

Leading up to today's segment, Holly said: "We've got to be careful though. Just because it's a competition [we need to remember] they've got steam in them, it's dangerous, they're very hot. We can't go too crazy."

Phillip joked the items had been risk accessed before bellowing he wasn't warned in advance what today's programme would entail.

He said: "No one's told us about this! When I burnt myself very badly on a glue gun several weeks ago I didn't make a sound. Nobody knew, I didn't make a sound as the skin came off my fingers!"

The steam-off went ahead as planned without any injuries which Phillip joked he was relieved about.
