HOLLY WILLOUGHBY - who is a host on This Morning - was forced to call a paramedic for her co-presenter Phillip Schofield, after the TV host fell ill during the ITV programme.
Holly Willoughby says 'paramedics were called' for Phil over chilli
Holly Willoughby, 39, and Phillip Schofield, 59, have been through their fair share of blunders on This Morning. The mum-of-three has now addressed the moment the team were forced to call a paramedic after her co-host fell ill on the programme.
It comes after the This Morning duo were faced with the prospect of eating hot chillis earlier this week.
The moment reminded them of the last time they shared a spicy meal together.
Holly recalled calling the paramedics for help after Phillip ate the world's hottest chilli live on air.
Speaking on the programme this week, TV chef Phil Vickery revealed he had a "hot" surprise for the pair.

He said: "All I'll say is.... very, very, very, hot."
Philip then asked: "Is this your hellfire sausage?"

Nodding his head, the TV chef replied: "I'll tell you something now, you won't sit down for three weeks."
His comment led to Holly and Phillip to recall the traumatic incident, which happened just several months ago.
Phil turned to Holly and said: "Well, we've been there before."
She scolded: "You wally, we had to call the paramedic out!"
The moment in question happened in February of this year when Phillip took on the Paqui's One Chip Challenge, which is one tortilla chip that has been coated with Carolina Reaper seasoning.
While eating the chip, the presenter explained that he could feel his "pores opening".

Following the incident, Phillip later tweeted that he was "recovering" in his dressing room after getting the "shivers".
He tweeted: "After eating the hottest chilli in the world, I'm now recovering.
"Sitting in my dressing room with the shivers!
"All ok till it hit my stomach eight minutes later! I love a challenge... but I'm not looking forward to tomorrow."
Despite this, it didn't stop Phillip from enjoying a chilli-dog on the programme this week.
TV chef Phil warned: "I hope there’s a paramedic there because you might need it."
Holly decided to refrain from tucking into the hot dish, as she commented: "I’m going to spectate in case the wheels fall off and there’s only one person left to present."
This Morning airs weekdays on ITV at 10am.
