Presenters Ben Shephard and Cat Deeley ran into an unfortunate technical blunder while trying to get an update. Ben, 46, told the audience: "Phil is cooking up a delicious dish for the whole family and he's live from The This Morning allotment." "It looks wonderful down there, Philip. We're trying to connect up his ear - can you hear us, Phil?" The technical blunder saw Phil unable to hear Ben as he instead continued preparing the dish he was working. Cat laughed as she quipped: "He could be just ignoring us", while Ben remarked: "Oh, dear." Looking for a solution, Ben asked out loud: "Has anyone got a phone? Someone phone him. Can the cameraman hear us?" He added: "So, nobody can hear us at the moment. This is quite fun, we can just watch them and see what they get up to." In the background, soaps expert Sharon Marshall said she was calling Phil on her phone. After showing a contest for viewers, however, the show was soon back on track.
