This Morning: Cat sits under the sofa<\/h3>\n

Rylan Clark and Emma Willis chatted with two pet lovers before things went awry live on-air.<\/p>\n

Viewers were left fuming during This Morning’s segment titled “Britain’s Most Spoiled Pets at Christmas,” as they chatted with a cat owner, who had brought her beloved Coco into the ITV studios.<\/p>\n

However, minutes into their chat a second guest joined them on the sofa with her pet pony also in tow, causing Coco to freak out.<\/p>\n

A shocked Rylan exclaimed: “Coco’s gone under the sofa.”<\/p>\n

Trying to assure their guest and viewers that all was well, he mused: “He’s fine. Let’s move on to our second guest.<\/p>\n

“Alice. How’re you this morning? Teddy [the pony] who is the star of the show has been trotting about this whole interview.”<\/p>\n

But mid-sentence panic quickly set in as Coco managed to remove himself from his lead and bolted.<\/p>\n

“I should say to all the crew that we have lost Coco,” he uttered. “Off the lead. There is a cat on the loose. I don’t know where the cat is.”<\/p>\n

Rylan tried climbing over the back of the sofa while Emma dropped to her knees and began to look underneath the sofa.<\/p>\n

She confirmed: “He is under the sofa.”<\/p>\n

Viewers were left unimpressed by the studio disaster as they took to X, formerly Twitter, and issued the same complaint.<\/p>\n

As\u00a0 @\u200cDyana_ fumed: “Having had 4 Bengal cats in my life, I\u2019ve been offered paid modelling gigs for them in the past, but I would never exploit my cats knowing they would get extremely stressed if I took them to unfamiliar places, and also there is the risk of them getting lost. Nope. #ThisMorning.”<\/p>\n

@\u200cJamesogrady551 commented: “The cat is absolutely terrified of the horse. #ThisMorning.”<\/p>\n

While @\u200cRalph_Hapschatt echoed: “The cat is terrified of the horse.”<\/p>\n
