Miriam Margolyes shocks This Morning fans as she suggests Holly Willoughby’s skirt is too short

Miriam Margolyes threw This Morning into chaos during her guest appearance on Wednesday – and fans were loving it.

The much-loved actress, 81, appeared on the show to chat to hosts Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby, with Miriam even acting as an agony aunt during the phone-in.

But as per usual with the Harry Potter star, things didn’t quite go to plan as her stint saw her suggest Holly Willoughby’s skirt was too short while also branding a crew outfit a ‘p***y pelmet’.

Shocking: Miriam Margolyes threw This Morning into chaos during her guest appearance on Wednesday – and fans were loving it

During a debate with the hosts, Miriam discussed skirt lengths and told how people shouldn’t be allowed to wear what they to work want after she was previously banned from wearing shorts to auditions.

Holly then made to defend a person’s right to wear what they please, saying: ‘I think it’s very rude of person to suggest what you should wear, you should wear what you like shouldn’t you.’

Miriam then retorted by calling out a member of the This Morning production team. 

She remarked: ”No when you go to an audition you’ve got to wear what is acceptable.

No way! Things didn’t quite go to plan as her stint saw her suggest Holly Willoughby’s skirt was too short while also branding a crew outfit a ‘p***y pelmet’

‘I mean one of the ladies who works here, she’s just wearing a p**** pelmet.’

Looking off camera, the outspoken star added: ‘It’s far too short!’  

Holly and Phil were seem gasping in shock with Phil, suppressing a laugh, asking the actress: ‘Well who was that?’

To which Miriam replied: ‘She’s a lovely girl. Ella.’

As Phil then urged the camera crew not to pan to Ella and show her shirt, he said: ‘Do not point the camera at Ella, do not point a camera at Ella, you look gorgeous.’

With Holly then adding: ‘She does look gorgeous, but it’s too short.’
