TV hosts totally lose it trying to pronounce a weatherman's name

Say Schafernaker three times fast!

What on earth could be funny about the word "Shafernacker"?

Morning TV hosts Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby often find themselves struggling to keep a straight face on This Morning, but yesterday they succumbed to a fit of the giggles when Holly botched announcing the name of their guest Tomasz Schafernaker‏.

Schafernaker is a BBC weatherman and was on This Morning to show off his portrait paintings, which are ridiculously photo-realistic.

Anyone who's ever got the giggles in public can sympathise with Schofield and Willoughby, and considering how composed they've managed to remain in some of their weirder interviews, they're probably owed a little giggle-session.
