This Morning viewers were left cracking up after agony aunt legend Dear Deidre casually pushed someone out of the way of cameras on live TV.
Eagle-eyed fans were quick to spot the mishap, which happened while hosts Eamonn Holmes and Ruth Langsford were trailing 73-year-old Deidre's upcoming phone-in on divorce.
While smiling at the camera, someone attempted to walk through Deidre's shot and without missing a beat, she grabbed them and shoved them back out of the way – all without dropping her smile.
What a pro, eh? A lethal and formidable pro.
Eamonn joked: "We'll let you go and break that woman's legs."
Fans soon took to social media to flag their concern, with some joking that perhaps the expert was just trying to start a fight.
The response was so overwhelming that presenters Eamon Holmes and Ruth Langsford addressed the incident again later in the show.
They explained that unsurprisingly, poor Deidre wasn't actually trying to start a fight, but was simply trying to stop a bumbling producer from accidentally walking into her shot.
Eamonn said: "Earlier some of you noticed that Deidre attacked – and that was live, she wasn't re-enacting – she attacked a member of staff there wilfully, called Catherine."
Deidre added: "I want to make it clear I was trying to save Catherine, not actually karate chop her."
Crisis averted.
This Morning continues weekdays from 10.30am.
