Morning Live viewers gasp in horror after Janette Manrara accidentally kicks a DOG

Morning Live ended on a more dramatic note than usual on Tuesday, as viewers watched a dog accidentally get spin-kicked in the head during the show’s final seconds.

Fans took to Twitter to react in horror after former Strictly Come Dancing pro Janette Manrara’s foot came into contact with the pooch while she performed a spin with her husband Aljaž Škorjanec.

Luckily for dog-lovers it was soon revealed that Dolly was completely fine, with Dr James Greenwood confirming she was happily ‘enjoying a chew stick’ following the scare.

As the show came to close, Janette and Aljaz decided to end the show by performing one of their signature spins, unaware that Dolly was  wandering towards them.

Mere seconds before cutting to a wide shot of the show’s studio in Salford, Janette’s foot hit Dolly’s head, with someone heard shouting ‘Oh my god,’ as the camera cut away.

Quickly viewers took to social media to share their reaction, with many expressing their concern for the pooch after taking the nasty hit.
