Phillip Schofield got a little too carried away as he launched into a fierce Pancake Day race against This Morning co-host Holly Willoughby.

The TV presenters went head-to-head as they took on an obstacle course with a frying pan filled with pancake batter.

Schofield was left fuming when his pancake slid out of the pan and dropped onto the floor, leaving viewers stunned when he shouted: “Oh s****!”

Moments later the host realised he had sworn live on air and addressed the mishap.

He told viewers: “I must apologise, I did swear during that. Well, I semi-swore, I added an ‘e’ at the end!”

A shocked Willoughby replied: “Oh my God Phil, did you?”

Viewers were left in hysterics over the gaffe, with many joking that he had taken the race “too seriously.”

One user wrote: “Phil taking the pancake toss a bit too seriously!”

“Did Phil just shout s**** when he dropped his pancake? I hope he doesn’t get in trouble, it was very funny,” said another.

A third mocked: “Think Phil forgot his mic is still on!”

The sarcastic comment left Willoughby in knots as she struggled to continue on to the next topic.

This Morning is on ITV, weekdays at 10.30am
