‘It was quite an elegant fall’: Holly Willoughby collapses to the floor on This Morning after trying to demonstrate her party trick

Holly Willoughby fell to the floor on Monday as she tried to demonstrate her party trick on This Morning.

The TV presenter, 41, was left red-faced after attempting to throw her leg up in the air and land in the splits during the break.

She ended up collapsing to the floor instead after her knee gave way and burst into laughter.

The cameras still managed to catch everything however, and Phillip Schofield delighted in showing viewers at home the clip.

Holly and Phillip were discussing Alison Hammond’s star-studded birthday bash on Saturday, which Holly attended.

While regaling Phillip with the gossip from the party, Holly said: ‘There was one performance of the night where there was a dance troupe there and they did, what I’ve just discovered is called the death drop.

‘One leg goes up and then bang you land in the splits. I may have just tried to reenact it. I might have slipped.’

She explained: ‘I buckled under the weight. My knee went. It was quite an elegant fall, I didn’t show anything.’

Phillip also explained why he wasn’t at Alison’s birthday celebration, revealing that his plans had clashed.

He said: ‘It was [my daughter] Ruby’s birthday and she had a massive birthday party so I missed out on the party, but that was lovely to go to too and she had a ball.’

It comes after Holly was given a shock when she was evacuated from the Dancing On Ice studios late last month.

Holly, who hosts the show with Phillip Schofield, 60, was having her hair and make-up done and was still wearing curlers when she was whisked outside due to a fire alert.

All of the cast and crew were forced to flee the building as alarms rang out at the purpose-built studio at Bovingdon Airfield in Hertfordshire.

Creative director Dan Whiston told The Sun: ‘Last weekend, the entire Dancing on Ice cast, production and crew had to evacuate the studio after a fire alarm went off. 

‘Many of the celebrities, including Holly, had to brave the cold weather outside whilst safety checks were carried out.

‘The alarm sounded, and everyone sped outside into the car park. We were show mid-preparation when it happened, so quite a few of us weren’t even fully dressed, and Holly still had her hair rollers in.’

Dan added that it was a false alarm caused by some curing tongs, joking: ‘You could say it was a bit of a hairy situation for a while.’ 

ITV declined to comment when contacted by MailOnline. MailOnline also contacted a representative for Holly for comment.
