Rylan and Emma are no strangers to presenting This Morning together, often seen when Ben and Cat are away on their holidays. The former even refers to Emma as his ‘TV wife’ due to their close friendship.
During their return to This Morning, the pair kicked off the episode with the show’s news segment. Joining them in the studio was Gyles Brandreth and former Coronation Street actress Nicola Thorp.
With many around the country enjoying a day off work, the group discussed how people come across as more ‘charming’ when they brush off an embarrassing moment by laughing at themselves. It was here that Nicola shared that she once fell while attempting the Dirty Dancing lift.
Before Nicola could reveal her story, Rylan and Emma both gasped in unison. Rylan was quick to ask if she was the one doing the lift when trying the move made famous by Jennifer Grey and Patrick Swayze.
“I was lifted. I broke my nose. But I was so embarrassed, I laughed it off and I had blood dripping down and I was like ‘I’m fine, I’m fine’,” Nicola recalled.
With Nicola stating that her version of the move from the classic 1980s romance film left her with a broken nose, Rylan and Emma appeared stunned as they buried their faces in their hands.
Nicola added: “And it was only later I looked in the mirror and went ‘Oh God, I need to go to A&E’.”
To which Emma replied: “See that’s different. That’s when I want attention. I need people to look after me and feel sorry for me.”
Nicola continued: “I was like ‘it’s fine’. I got some cleaning products from the person’s kitchen, it was in somebody’s house and I started cleaning it up. And they were like ‘I think you need to go to hospital’ and I was like ‘I’m fine’,” she added, gesturing to indicate blood still pouring from her nose.”
Rylan began to laugh after thinking she was putting cleaning products on her nose, saying: “Don’t put Domestos on your nose! Just get yourself a plaster’.”
Always one to remain positive, Gyles concluded the segment by noting: “Often you say, what is the definition of being British and I think being able to laugh at yourself is the definition of being British.”
Meanwhile, fans rushed to X, previously known as Twitter, to express their joy that Rylan and Emma were back on presenting duties.
