This Morning segment descends into chaos in awkward scenes with astrologer

This Morning expert Hagan Fox suffered an awkward on-screen blunder during Thursday's show.

The astrologer appeared on the ITV chat show for a call in segment called What's In Your Stars?. Prior to the call in, This Morning went to Hagan in the studio where he promoted the segment, saying: "We're going to be talking about the full moon, and Pluto, you want to know a bit about that?" The expert was then met with an awkward silence so added: "Well, I'm going to tell you! The full moon is in Leo..."

As the segment continued to be met with silence, a confused Hagan then asked: "We still on?" when the camera panned to hosts Sian Welby and Dermot O'Leary with the duo replying: "Yeah, we're still here!" Sian, who made her presenting debut earlier this week, then added: "Sorry, we were very distracted Hagan as we've got a lot of naughty dogs here!" with the duo about to host a pandemic pups training session in the Dogfather segment. Hagan then referenced the awkward blunder, admitting he had been "rambling on", saying: "I don't think I was meant to!"

It comes as Sian made her debut as a This Morning presenter on Monday alongside regular star Dermot. The radio star, 37, who is currently a host on the Capital FM Breakfast show after replacing Vick Hope, is one in a long line of presenters who have stepped in to help fill the void left by Holly Willoughby.

This Morning bosses have been conducting a series of live auditions to see who best fits the ITV show. This week, Sian was asked to present the show with Dermot after being appointed as the new entertainment expert. It comes as Sian took to Instagram on Sunday to share her excitement over her new role. She said: "I'm trying to be cool, calm and collected, but I'm hosting This Morning tomorrow!

"I can't believe this, I'm on the actual main show. I don't know who allowed this. Am I ready? Am I a liability? I'm not sure but thankfully I will be with Dermot who is a beacon of joy and an ultimate professional."

She continued: "And he's going to take me under his wing, and I feel very safe. So, yes I will be with Dermot on Monday on This Morning, tune in if you want to see the carnage that could happen because honestly at this moment I don't know what is going to happen, I'm just going to wing it."
