THIS Morning hosts Rochelle Humes and Joel Dommett were left lost for words today, after a ‘crazy’ segment saw Big Brother presenter Will Best hugging trees.
Will Best took part in a segment that saw him explaining the benefits of tree hugging, and towards the end he sat on the man’s head in a bid to hug the tree himself.
Will awkwardly balanced on the man’s head, as he attempted to hold him up and position him on the tree as they filmed in the forest.
Will asked what was going on, as the man beneath him screamed: “Ouch my head.”
Firmly positioned on the tree, Will appeared very uncomfortable and desperate to get back down as he clung on to a branch.
The man, dressed in camouflage, was also seen rolling on the floor during another point of the segment, as Will attempted to help him up.
When This Morning panned back to the studio, Rochelle and Joel fought back tears of laughter.
Rochelle asked Will if he was OK after the tree hugging ordeal, while Joel said: “I’ll be honest, that was some of the best telly I’ve ever witnessed.”
“We’re lost for words I think,” Rochelle added.
Fans were left gobsmacked by the antics happening on their screens, with one person even saying on X, formely known as Twitter, that it was the “craziest thing they’d ever seen on TV.”
Another person wrote: “This is absolutely mental,” and a third said: “What the actual hell?” and tagged This Morning.
A fourth person questioned: “What the heck is going on on my TV right now?”
But despite the chaos, some viewers coined it the “funniest segment ever” and asked that This Morning has more tree hugging segments in future.
It’s not the first time that This Morning has had a segment of this kind on their screens.
In 2021, Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield were taught how to “hug a tree to bring happiness” in a bizarre segment.
The pair were joined via video segment by Jim Tubbs Galley, who was educating viewers on what he called the “ultimate lockdown remedy”.
The nature lover told the hosts that hugging trees was the “key to helping the spirit of loneliness”, which makes it perfect amid the UK’s third national lockdown.
Fans at home at the time found the whole thing hilarious, flocking to Twitter to share their reaction.
One perplexed viewer asked: “Why tf have I turned on the tv to see Phil and Holly hugging trees?”
This Morning host Alison Hammond has given it a go in the past too, and ventured into the forest to hug trees during a segment of the show.
It looks like Will Best was the latest member of the This Morning team recruited to hug trees, leaving viewers very amused in the process.
