This Morning ended up in chaos during Monday (August 22) morning’s programme after Rylan Clark “walked off” set.
The former X Factor star, 33, returned to the presenting seat for the first time in years alongside co-host Ruth Langsford, and the pair didn’t waste time in getting playful in the studio.
Today’s episode started with Rylan recalling the harrowing moment that took place on August 14 when a snake slithered into his house.

Later in the show, Ruth got her hands on a toy snake and abruptly launched it at her co-host which led to him letting out an almighty scream.
The former Strictly Come Dancing star immediately leapt off the sofa and was left in hysterics by the reaction she got.
Trying his best not to swear, a stuttering Rylan told his co-host: “That was really close! Did you not…”
“Barry in my ear, you know!,” he added.
The Loose Women panellist then placed the toy snake on a stunned Rylan’s shoulder as he held his mouth and said: “See if I had my old set of teeth…”
Processing what had happened, Rylan began pointing at those behind the camera and exclaimed: “I sat you all down this morning and I said ‘Do not do it on air because the words that’s my new fault is not daytime’.”
A giggling Ruth responded: “Oh I know I was worried about that but I thought ‘I’m going to go for it anyway’.”
“Can you read this while I go and have a small stroke over in the corner,” asked Rylan as he held his chest.
As Ruth began introducing Phil Vickery cooking on a beach in Grenada, Rylan said: “Good for him, I’m out,” before walking off set.
Viewers found the encounter hilarious and were straight on social media to demand the pair present more often, with one writing: “@Rylan “if I had my old set of teeth in” we need Ry and Ruth on @thismorning every day.”
Another said: “Love Rylan and Ruth. best week so far! #thismorning,” while a third echoed: “Wow this is fantastic. Rylan and Ruth are on !!!!! Have them on again Pleassseeeeee.”
This Morning airs weekdays at 10am on ITV.
