Holly Willoughby was left disgusted during a segment on This Morning show yesterday after she and her co-host Phillip Schofield were tasked with guessing what a number of obscure items were.

It was revealed that an object Holly Willoughby put in her mouth was in fact a travel bidet.

When Holly Willoughby, 31, was handed the strange device, she made a number of guesses after examining it.

She thought it could be a flask and put it into her mouth but was left aghast when it was revealed to be an intimate personal hygiene system.

Holly Willoughby at first thought bidet actually meant toilet which caused her horror, much to the amusement of her co-star Phillip Schofield.

The blonde’s co-host, wrote on Twitter: “No @hollywills today, she may be suffering from food poisoning! Which is a worry cos I recommended the restaurant!!! @k8_thornton is here (sic).”

Stand-in presenter Kate Thornton sent Holly a get well tweet, saying: “Get better @hollywills – hope you’re ok. Take yourself to bed with Christian Grey x (sic).”
