But Holly Willoughby experienced a rather less smooth appearance on Monday morning, after she was left panicked by a large snake which had joined her on This Morning.
And things didn’t end there for the 36-year-old presenter, who was seen grappling with the creature alongside Phillip Schofield, as the progamme then came off air for over ten minutes after mysteriously crashing.

Holly was seen panicking as she attempted to hold the huge snake with Phil, both giggling before she started to freak out.
‘They’re not trying to squash you’, Phil attempted to soothe, as Holly screeched in the background.
‘It’s the tongue bit that scares me,’ Holly replied. ‘She’s very beautiful… as long as she stays that way
And as the snake started to wrap itself around her leg and wander up her skirt, Holly screamed, begging for the snake to be taken off her.
Things didn’t end there for the 36-year-old presenter, who was seen grappling with the creature alongside Phillip Schofield,
‘Oh god lord. God gracious, well I never. What do I do?’ she screeched, as Phill told her to ‘just let it happen’.
Panicking, Holly responded: ‘Can you get it off? Oh gosh that made me panic. Let’s just give it back! We were being cool… sorry!’.
And following her panic, the chaos continued with This Morning unexpectedly crashed for 10 minutes.

The ITV brunch time show experienced technical difficulties mid-way through today’s episode, with parts of the country missing out on Ben Fogle and later on Vicky Pattison.
The presenters were interviewing the 44-year-old adventurer when the screen crackled and cut out before a voiceover said: ‘Sorry for disruption on ITV. We’re working hard to fix the issue and will be back in a few minutes.’
The Twitter account added: ‘We’re sorry if you can’t see us on your television right now. We’re working on the problem and we’ll be back with you as soon as possible!’

‘Can you get it off? Oh gosh that made me panic. Let’s just give it back! We were being cool… sorry!’
The technical issues went on for 10 minutes before the nation were rejoined with Holly and Phillip, who were unaware of any problems until the connection was restored, and Vicky Pattison for the ‘I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!’ segment.
The 55-year-old silver fox said: ‘We’ve been doing it without you by the way.’
Holly added: ‘They didn’t tell us, we just carried on,’ with Phillip then explaining: ‘We’ve just been told the country is back with us.’
Although the issue was rectified, the crew still have ‘no clue’ what caused the blip.
Holly said: ‘We have no clue what went on. We just looked down at the screen and saw we weren’t on. I blame the snake – I think it was the snake’s fault.’
Fellow presenter Rylan Clark-Neal joked on Twitter that he had ‘accidentally’ pulled the plug after producers refused to let him interview Victoria Beckham.
Fans posted memes of characters in The Office, South Park and Spongebob Squarepants running scared, while some even feared there had been a terror attack.
