This Morning fans left concerned after Dermot O’Leary hits head live on TV

This Morning fans were left concerned for presenter Dermot O’Leary as he hit his head live on air after a beauty segment took an awkward turn on Friday morning

This Morning presenter Dermot O’Leary suffered a minor injury live on air today as he presented along first time host, Olivia Attwood.

The awkward moment happened towards the end of the show, when the presenting duo attempted to try Katy Perry’s pre-show beauty ritual. Taking to Instagram, the Roar singer revealed that she plunged her face into ice water for 18 seconds.

Olivia and Dermot then went ahead and tried this trick, but unfortunately for Dermot, things went terribly wrong.

“Ready, 3, 2, 1,” he said as the duo held their breath before plunging their heads into the ice water. However, a clanking sound was heard with faint laughter in the background – as Dermot had whacked his head on the rim of the blow.

Nonetheless, the former X-Factor host carried on like a champ, and after two seconds, the pair came up for air, as Olivia was left screaming: “OH MY GOD!”

“The bowl is so small!” Dermot exclaimed, as Olivia laughed: “Did you hit your head on the rim?”

“Yes!” he exclaimed while rubbing his head. “How can we not find bigger bowls than that?! That wasn’t worth it!”

After the moment, concerned fans took to X, formerly known as Twitter, as one questioned: “Why was Dermot trying to dive into a bowl?” with a second writing: “We’re gonna need a bigger bowl…”

“#DermotOleary needs to have a check after hitting his head on the rim of the bowl on #thismorning,” a third wrote.

It was an eventful Friday morning for the This Morning team, as Olivia Attwood took to the sofa for her presenting debut. It comes after regular Friday and summer host Alison Hammond revealed that she’d be taking a break for a few weeks.

During Thursday’s episode, the Brummy presenter gave Dermot a hug as she said: “See you in September, bye!” At the start of the show, Dermot revealed he was feeling down due to Alison’s departure. “I’m sad because it’s your last day for the summer! I’m sad because I won’t see you next week,” he said.

Alison replied, “Aw, not sad; be happy for me! Be happy.” Dermot started handing Alison individual flowers from the set as she detailed her summer plans.

Olivia’s role was announced a few weeks ago as she was interviewed by Ben and Cat about her ITV show, Price of Perfection. She commented, “I’m going to be doing a couple of shows in the summer, I’m very excited to be joining you guys.

“It’s a huge honour. I’ve obviously grown up watching this show, and being part of the Daytime team with the Loose Women has been the best experience. This just feels like a very natural progression.”
