As Mariah Carey ascertains, lighting is everything (darling) when it comes to having your photo taken.

Shame Phillip Schofield didn’t get the memo.

The Dancing On Ice presenter shared a behind-the-scenes picture from the ITV skating show on Sunday night, but it looked as though Phil had had a wee little accident…

Thankfully, the presenter cleared things up, explaining that it was actually the perfectly-placed shadow of his stylist David O’Brien that had created the illusion of a wet patch.

“When glam shots go wrong!!” Phil captioned the snap on Instagram. ”@DavidOBrien75 didn’t realise his shadow made me look like I’d pee’d me troos!!”

Ahead of this weekend’s show, it was announced that Billie Shepherd had become the third celebrity forced to quit this year’s series.

The disaster-struck ITV show had already lost Denise Van Outen and Rufus Hound unexpectedly in the last two weeks, before Billie dropped out after an accident on the ice. 

The former TOWIE star suffered moderate concussion after hitting her head while rehearsing with professional partner Mark Hanretty.

Doctors have said she must miss this weekend’s show and, according to the ITV show’s rules, she must therefore exit the competition. 

Dancing On Ice continues on Sunday at 6pm on ITV.
