Dr Scott Miller was dragged into a lake by a huge Newfoundland rescue dog live on Wednesday’s This Morning in hilarious scenes.
The TV vet, 48, left hosts Holly Willoughby and Dermot O’Leary in stitches after the funny incident as he headed to Wyboston lakes near Bedford to meet the pooches.
He was doing a swimming segment in the waters to demonstrate how the dogs can help people who get into trouble in the water.
Clad in his wetsuit he introduced the section by saying: ‘I’m here at Wyboston lakes to have a swim with them! And the best part about it is you get a little bit of a cuddle or a massive bear hug!’
Then the dog he was holding started to make a move into the water and dragged him in too – just as another trainer was also tipped into the water behind him.
Oh no! Dr Scott Miller was dragged into a lake by a huge Newfoundland rescue dog live on Wednesday’s This Morning in hilarious scenes
Hilarious: The TV vet, 48, left hosts Holly Willoughby and Dermot O’Leary in stitches after the funny incident as he headed to Wyboston lakes near Bedford to meet the pooches
Laughing away Holly said: ‘Oh no Dr Scott someone behind you has just been dragged in!’
Dermot then quipped as he held his head in his hands: ‘God it works doesn’t it! The dogs are like get in! Quick to rescue someone else!’
Dr Scott then managed to stand back up again and hobbled up to the camera as he joked: ‘I might have just got into the water then!’
Holly then tried to check with him if the woman who had been dragged in behind him was alright.
Dr Scott shared a post on Twitter ahead of the scenes: ‘For someone who loves dogs and loves water sports, I’m so excited to be headed to Wyboston lakes and home of The Working Newfoundland Club where I’ll be rescued from the water live on @thismorning @itv at 10:30.’
It comes after BBC Breakfast’s Carol Kirkwood was ambushed by dogs for a third time when playful puppies attacked her mic and chewed her hair as she presented the weather live on air back in July.
The meteorologist, 61, joined live from a Guide Dog puppy centre to present her segment earlier this summer and remained the ultimate professional as the playful pups climbed over her and chewed her hair.
During her live report, Carol said: ‘And we’re in for a treat because they’re absolutely adorable as you can see and they’re so playful as well.
Whoops! He was doing a swimming segment in the waters to demonstrate how the dogs can help people who get into trouble in the water

Awkward: It comes after BBC Breakfast’s Carol Kirkwood was ambushed by dogs for a third time when playful puppies attacked her mic and chewed her hair as she presented the weather live on air back in July
‘They’ve [the puppies] been woken up early this morning just for us, with a lovely start to the day for them too… come on you little scamp… whoops get off my mic, you little monkey… anyway!’
But the puppies didn’t stop for Carol as they kept on tugging and pulling at her hair and mic as she continued her segment.
BBC Breakfast presenter Sally Nugent later praised Carol for remaining professional after the hilarious puppy attack.
She said: ‘Carol, I think you deserve and award for doing a weather forecast while someone was eating your microphone and another one was eating your hair. That was properly professional, well done.’
Earlier tat month, Carol suffered another awkward on-air encounter as she was dragged to the floor by a dog during a live Wimbledon report, leaving her co-stars in hysterics.
Speaking during the segment, Carol began: ‘Isn’t he the most gorgeous boy? This is Ray, he is going to be five in August and he is one of the search dogs here.’
‘I must say, I am just going to stay here for a while with Ray. How well-behaved is he? He has hardly moved apart from to have his tummy rubbed.’
Just after praising the pooch for his good behaviour, Carol was dragged off camera by the spaniel and broke down into fits of giggles.
Speaking through hysterical laughter, Carol managed to squeeze out a ‘yes,’ before adding: ‘I can’t believe it’s happened again! It’s the Chelsea Flower Show all over again!’
And in September 2021, the Scottish weather presenter ended up being taken out by an over excited hound leaving her co-presenter Dan Walker in hysterics back in the studio.
Carol had just given the forecast from Chelsea ahead of the annual Flower Show when the golden Labrador named Flash tugged at the lead and toppled her over.
A flustered Dan then exclaimed: ‘We’ve got a Kirkwood down! We’ve got a Kirkwood down! Someone save Carol!’

‘Flash is strong!’ laughed Carol as she got back onto her knees and put her earpiece back in.
‘Are you alright Carol?’ asked Dan, to no response.
‘We’re just checking that you’re okay,’ Sally Nugent added. ‘Are you alright?’
‘Yes!’ Carol replied. ‘Yes, she’s a very strong girl, Flash.’
The blunder came just moments after Carol had declared that Flash was ‘very well behaved’.
