The 29-year-old actress kicked off her presenting gig on the ITV daytime show with her 'I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!' co-star John Barrowman in place of the programme's regular hosts but she was left with a mess in her lap when the four-week-old animal decided to make a mess during an Easter segment.

Leaning in to pick up the lamb for a cuddle, Emily told John: "I've always wanted to pick up a lamb!"

But the lamb wasn't too keen on her attention and made a break from her clutches, prompting her to exclaim: "Oh my God! I'm so sorry! I just dropped a lamb on television!"

The duo - who were filling in for regulars Eamonn Holmes and Ruth Langsford - then admitted to viewers that the lamb had left excrement on Emily's dress during a segment about household cleaning tips.

Emily asked: "Have you got any tips on how to get lamb poo out of a dress?"

John added: "She's got lamb poo on her dress and I've got lamb wee on my leg."

Emily then sniffed her hands before showing her co-presenter John, and saying: "It stinks!

The jungle pals were on the show because Eamonn and Ruth were enjoying a day off after filling in for Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield all week as they enjoyed a break from the programme.

Before sitting on the iconic sofa for the first time, Emily admitted it was a "dream come true" to get the gig.

She said: "I am absolutely over the moon to be joining 'This Morning' with my best mate John Barrowman over Easter.

"It's a dream come true to be presenting one of my favourite shows. I look ­forward to being on the iconic sofa. We're going to have so much fun."
