Holly Willoughby admits to Midsomer Murders filming blunder ahead of cameo

Holly Willoughby admitted she made a hilarious Midsomer Murders filming blunder ahead of her cameo this Sunday night.

The presenter, 42, made a surprise This Morning return on Friday weeks early amid her annual summer break, where she has spent time in Portugal. However, the return wasn't exactly what fans were expecting as Holly made her comeback in a teaser video for her cameo on Midsomer Murders, which airs on Sunday.

The episode was actually filmed two years ago, with the mum-of-three previously speaking about her cameo in 2021. In a pre-recorded video, Holly shared a first look of her debut with a special behind-the-scenes glimpse on Friday's This Morning.

The BTS video saw Holly get ready in hair and make-up, where she looked over her scripts, before heading straight onto set to shoot her scenes. However, Holly admitted she made a filming blunder after not realising she had an extra scene.

The presenter confessed: "So, I've just shot my first scene, and total transparency, it was a scene I hadn't actually noticed that was in my script because I was so focused on the three lines that I had later. I didn't realise I had to say 'excuse me', so when I walked in and everybody was running their lines. I was like: 'Where is this, in here?' Thankfully, it was only shots of the back of my head! So, so far, so good!"

Holly also teased her This Morning return on Thursday night by sharing a teaser of a behind-the-scenes look of Midsomer Murders to her Instagram. She penned: "This truly was a dream come true… Thank you to the whole team at Midsomer Murders for making me so welcome and really looking after me… I loved every second. Tomorrow there is a behind the scenes look at what we got up to on @thismorning and then Sunday 8pm the episode, The Witches of Angels Rise broadcasts on @itv.

"Each year, the Midsomer village of Angel’s Rise hosts an annual Psychic Fayre in the vast and gothic Eddon Hall. Founded by the Saint-Stephens family in memory of their late daughter, the event attracts all manner of mediums, psychics and followers of the occult. When a body is found surrounded by ritual symbols on the eve of the gathering, Barnaby must step into a world of self-proclaimed witches to find the killer. Crime drama, starring Neil Dudgeon, with Tracy-Ann Oberman and Colin Salmon."

Holly had been left speechless in March 2021 as she was surprised live on This Morning with the news she had landed a guest role on the detective drama. Midsomer Murders stars Neil Dudgeon and Nick Hendrix were the ones to ask the presenter to guest star in an upcoming episode.

"Yes! Of course, I say yes. I have seen every single episode since it started way back when. Are you serious?" Holly exclaimed, immediately accepting the offer. She went on to joke about her acting abilities, quipping: "I mean you are going to have to kill me off really quickly because I am terrible at acting. I don't know what I am going to do."

This Morning continues on weekdays at 10am on ITV and ITVX. Follow Mirror Celebs and TV on , , , , and .
