This Morning chaos as Dr Scott is dragged into lake by huge dog live on air

This Morning hosts Dermot O’Leary and Holly Willoughby were doubled over laughing after TV vet Dr Scott Miller was dragged into a lake by a rescue dog live on air.

The 48 year old vet, who recently shared some of the funniest questions he gets from pet owners, was at Wyboston Lakes in Bedfordshire to do a segment demonstrating how huge Newfoundland dogs can be used to help swimmers who run into trouble.

Dr Scott was clad in a wetsuit as he braved the chilly autumn weather to check out rescue operations at the lake.

He was in the midst of introducing the segment when he found himself pulled into the water prematurely.

“I’m here at Wyboston Lakes to have a swim with them,” he told the studio as he pointed at the dogs, “and the best part about it is you get a little bit of a cuddle or a massive bear hug!”

However, he was unable to explain further and instead shouted, “oh my God, he’s off” as the dog he was trying to keep a handle on decided it was time to get into the water.

Scott was pulled into the water backwards and had to be helped up by one of the handlers, before he sheepishly told hosts Dermot and Holly, “I’m so sorry.”

“I may have just got in the water with all my comms on,” he admitted, referencing his mic and other tech gear he needed to do the interview.

Holly and Dermot fortunately saw the funny side of the whole affair, but couldn’t help but notice that another member of the team seemed to have been dragged in too.

“That lady behind you, is she all right?” Holly, looking concerned, asked, as somebody else seemed to have lost control of their hound and found themselves wetter than they expected.

Dermot, meanwhile, seemed to take the dogs’ apparently uncontrollable enthusiasm as proof that “it works.”

“The dogs are like get in,” he joked, “quick, rescue someone else!”

Fans online, meanwhile, branded the live gaffe “hilarious” and “total chaos”, while one viewer called the segment “the funniest thing I’ve seen on TV for a long time" – although it's not the only awkward blunder the show has suffered lately.

The lake has become well known for its’ group of working Newfoundlands, who dog experts say have a natural instinct to save lives, and visitors can even pay to enjoy a swim alongside the massive dogs.

Volunteers can even pretend to need “saving” in order to train the dogs which, as adults, can weigh anything between 55 and a staggering 80kg.
