This embarrassing mix-up on the set of This Morning could have caused upset

They used the wrong hashtag.

Disaster.

Holly Willoughby and Philip Schofield are one of TV’s most popular duos and the craic they have together is just brilliant, sending them (and people watching at home) into stitches.

However, the latest slip-up wasn’t down to one of their funny mix-ups, instead the show’s producers had an embarrassing moment when a rather inappropriate hashtag was chosen for one segment of the show.

According to The Mirror, Georgia Rankin, who has been referred to previously by many media outlets as ‘Britain’s Tiniest Teen’ was on the show to chat with Philip and Holly.

The 18-year-old was on set to chat about skeletal dysplasia, a condition she was born with and as it was her birthday, she was treated to the expertise of This Morning’s style and beauty team.

However, it seems that the hashtag ‘Tiny Teen’ which was used for this segment of the show can show up teen pornography when used as a search tool.

One Twitter quickly pointed this out writing:

“Hey @itvthismorning might be best to check what else is on a hashtag search! #thismorning #tinyteen”.

Thankfully, this didn’t cloud Georgia’s appearance on the show and people were very taken with her, even calling for her to have a regular slot on the show.
