Anyone watching This Morning might have been put off their breakfast after Phillip Schofield (without any prompting) ate a dead maggot live on air.

The host was presenting a feature on tequila and one bottle had a dead maggot inside. Schofield then decided to chow down which made co-host Holly Willoughby grimace.

They were joined by the president of the Tequila Society Cleo Rocos and mixologist Rich Woods, who tried to dissuade Phillip from eating the deceased maggot.
