This Morning presenters Eamonn Holmes and Ruth Langsford felt the force of nature when a plant blew into them mid-interview live on TV.

The ITV morning show was being hosted outside on London’s Southbank when a gust of wind uplifted a plant on set.

Eamonn quickly pushed it back and then checked on wife Ruth, who said: “I’m absolutely fine, it’s only a plastic palm.”

They were mid-interview with Dr Dawn Harper, discussing vaping and e-cigarettes.

The plant was quickly removed from the set by one of the crew.

This Morning tweeted a photo of the plant after the incident.
