This Morning’s Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield left baffled by couple’s pampered pet pig
Hannah and Mike share their sofa with their pet pig Penny
THIS Morning's Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield were left baffled by a couple who have a pampered pig as a pet.
Holly wasn't the biggest fan of Hannah and Mike's large pig Penny and kept close to Phillip as they chatted to the pair about their unusual pet.
Phillip quizzed Holly about why she was so spooked saying: "You're practically sitting on my lap".
But she defended herself saying: " It's very big, much bigger than your average dog."
Holly then asked Hannah and Mike why they decided to get a pig instead of another dog or a cat.
Mike said: "We've got everything else already, it's just something unique."
A baffled Holly then asked them about how they keep her in their house asking: "Is she clean?"
They replied saying: "She makes no mess, she's not smelly, she's toilet trained.
"She'll squeal at us to go outside."
But Holly still wasn't convinced saying: "It's so bizarre!"
The pig has escaped a number of times and once their dog Lady even let her out the back door.
Hannah explained: "The first time she got out, she was rounded up by the police. The second time we both to work and left the back door unlocked, Lady opened the door, the pig got out and broke the fence. So the dog let the pig out!"
Another time the pig ended up trashing the bathroom and spilling a tin of blue paint EVERYWHERE.
Mike said: "The entire and the bathroom were blue."
While they love their unusual pet and are known around their neighbourhood with people calling her name when they take her for a walk, they admit she's a little tough to handle.
Mike said: "We don't regret her but we regret having a pig, we wouldn't recommend it."
