Holly Willoughby was left rather red-faced after she made a slew of blunders during her Midsomer Murders acting gig.

The This Morning host will appear on the brand new episode of the smash hit ITV crime drama series on Sunday (August 27).

And during Friday’s episode (August 25) of This Morning, viewers were treated to an exclusive look at her filming the show.

But it seems things didn't go quite to plan for Holly, who was left asking her co-star for “serious tips” following a blunder on-set.

Speaking to the camera after filming her scene, she confessed: “So I’ve just shot my first scene, and total transparency, it was a scene I hadn’t actually noticed was in my script.

“It was because I’d been so focused on the three lines I had later that I didn’t realise that i had to say 'Excuse me'.”

And things took a more awkward turn when she slipped up walking away from filming a scene for the episode, called The Witches of Angel's Rise.

Red-faced, Holly laughed: “I made it until the very last minute then I fell over.”

After a few slip-ups, Holly was forced to ask her co-stars for some help, begging DCI John Barnaby star Neil Dudgeon: “I need some serious tips.”

The blonde beauty's debut on Midsomer Murders has been a long time coming, with news of her casting confirmed back in 2021.

In one of the clips, Holly can be seen sitting on a throne while being interviewed.

One of the detectives mused: "Is that the queen of daytime?" as his colleague quipped back: "Gloria Hunniford? Are you sure?"

Speaking about Holly's appearance on the show, Neil told GMB earlier this week: "She's sort of a friend of the show I suppose – she's a great fan of the show and we're always looking to broaden our casting net."

He added: "She was great, she was thoroughly professional. I think she was a bit nervous when she first arrived. She's playing a character called Holly Willoughby, I wouldn't like to say that it's herself."
