Emily Atack got pooed on by a lamb when she made her debut as a host on ‘This Morning’ on Friday (12.04.19).
The 29-year-old actress kicked off her presenting gig on the ITV daytime show with her ‘I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!’ co-star John Barrowman in place of the programme’s regular hosts but she was left with a mess in her lap when the four-week-old animal decided to make a mess during an Easter segment.
Leaning in to pick up the lamb for a cuddle, Emily told John: "I’ve always wanted to pick up a lamb!"
But the lamb wasn’t too keen on her attention and made a break from her clutches, prompting her to exclaim: "Oh my God! I’m so sorry! I just dropped a lamb on television!"
The duo – who were filling in for regulars Eamonn Holmes and Ruth Langsford – then admitted to viewers that the lamb had left excrement on Emily’s dress during a segment about household cleaning tips.
Emily asked: "Have you got any tips on how to get lamb poo out of a dress?"
John added: "She’s got lamb poo on her dress and I’ve got lamb wee on my leg."
Emily then sniffed her hands before showing her co-presenter John, and saying: "It stinks!
The jungle pals were on the show because Eamonn and Ruth were enjoying a day off after filling in for Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield all week as they enjoyed a break from the programme.
Before sitting on the iconic sofa for the first time, Emily admitted it was a "dream come true" to get the gig.
She said: "I am absolutely over the moon to be joining ‘This Morning’ with my best mate John Barrowman over Easter.
"It’s a dream come true to be presenting one of my favourite shows. I look forward to being on the iconic sofa. We’re going to have so much fun."
