Thursday’s episode of This Morning took a rather unexpected turn—and left the crew in stitches—after two adorable guests created a mess live on set. Ben Shephard and Cat Deeley were in high spirits, marking both the first day of Spring and the International Day of Happiness with a feel-good outdoor broadcast. But things got a little too real when a pair of Shetland ponies joined the fun.
Spirit the teddy bear and Missy the unicorn weren’t just there for cuteness overload—they’re therapy animals, regularly visiting care homes, schools, and hospitals to lift people’s moods. Alongside them were guests Alice and nine-year-old Gracey, with Alice sharing how Gracey’s heart absolutely melts whenever she sees Spirit. “Horses are non-judgmental and bring joy to thousands,” Alice explained. “Their cuteness really lights up a room.”
