Cutting back to the studio, Piers and his colleagues Charlotte Hawkins and Susanna Reid were seen laughing as Andi attempted to carry on with his link.

He said: "My producer over there is literally laughing so much.

"This trip, trip literally, is turning into my worst nightmare coming to Outer Mongolia with no notice, but anyway, you could be having lots of notice getting that call from us saying you’ve won £500,000."

After he explained the competition to viewers, Charlotte told producers to replay the hilarious moment.

Andi joked: "As if I'm not making Piers happy enough and then I fall over. This is a nightmare."

Andi has had many embarrassing moments live on air - from getting the location wrong to messing up the script.

One amusing moment earlier this year saw the 48-year-old left repeatedly knocking on a competition winner's door.

Despite having £5,000 to giveaway, the man couldn't open the door because he was naked.
