Holly Willoughby was met with a barrage of unsolicited advice today after suffering a rare fashion mishap on This Morning.

Holly found her black Karen Millen dress, teamed with a pair of black tights, was stuck to her legs due to static electricity - causing her to flash more leg than she intended while live on air.

'Something's just happened,' she told viewers on Wednesday morning, as co-host Phillip Schofield struggled to contain his giggles.

On Wednesday's show, Holly found her black Karen Millen dress was stuck to her legs due to static - causing her to flash more than she intended while live on air

'I stood up and my skirt appears to have gone very static into the shape of pantaloons. I can't pull it down because the static pulls it back up again so you'll just have to put up with me doing this.'

The 35-year-old later took to Instagram to share the details of her outfit, a lace Karen Millen frock teamed with Prada shoes, and was inundated with tips on dealing with static.

Rachel Wells commented: 'Spray hairspray up under your dress and it will stop the static around your legs. Looking beautiful as always.'

Michelle Letts added: 'Turn your tights inside out it stops the problem of the dress.'

While one fan, sarahmarbs12, agreed that hairspray was the best option, commenting: 'Works every time and lasts all day.'

Instagrammer Susan Holdaway wrote: 'Holly if you put some hand scream on your hands then rub them on your tights it will stop the static.'

Kay Williams joked about the 'poofy' static while Mandy Storer suggested Holly 'rub some moisturiser onto your tights will stop the static in your dress.'

Richard Underneath quipped: 'You look electric @hollywillougby.'

Despite her sartorial mishap, Holly had reason to smile today as she revealed she has recently welcomed two new cats into the family.

Holly said: 'I stood up and my skirt appears to have gone very static into the shape of pantaloons. I can't pull it down because the static pulls it back up again'

'You look electric!' Instagrammer Susan Holdaway told the This Morning host: 'Holly if you put some hand scream on your hands then rub them on your tights it will stop the static'

Speaking to co-host Phil, she said: 'I had a lovely day yesterday. I’m in kitten zen.'

As a video of the cute Ragdolls played, she continued: 'Please welcome the new members of the Willoughby family – Teddy and Bluebell. Named by my children, I might add, but I was quite happy with those names. I thought they did quite well when you think what it could have been.

'They are really good, they have been really sweet. Teddy is a bit sniffly snuffly, and then Bluebell fell asleep somewhere and we couldn’t find her and she had fallen asleep in the Christmas tree.

The pair also welcomed Steve Wilson onto Wednesday's show to try out the best new board games to keep the family entertained at Christmas, while Len Goodman joined as a special guest.
