In the Send To All segment, the comedian sent a tongue in cheek text to the This Morning host's children's headteacher - much to her horror.

A snippet of the upcoming show was aired on Children In Need tonight.

Michael McIntyre, 42,  explained his gag during the charity programme: "So here's a quick reminder of the text I sent from Holly Willoughby's phone earlier."

Switching to a sneak peek of the upcoming show, he read out the message he sent from Holly's phone.

He said: "As you know I am a global style icon.

"This Morning are doing a feature where I help people with absolutely no dress sense and I immediately thought of you.

"What WAS that hideous thing you were wearing last time I saw you??"

But the joke was taken to the next level when Michael then asked the school teacher to come into the ITV studios to show Holly and Phil his clothes in return for a makeover.

Michael's message continued: "Hope you won't be offended but could you come in with a few of your outfits for Phil and I to laugh at.  In return you'll get a whole new wardrobe.

"What do you say? Need to know ASAP.  Love Holly xxx."

Michael then revealed he sent the message to Mr Hook, the headteacher at her children's school.

The mum-of-three looked aghast, and when asked who exactly Mr Hook was, she said: "Oh my God, that's my kids' headmaster.

"That's the one I'm worried about the most."

But things got even worse for Holly, who is set to present this season's I'm A Celebrity with Declan Donnelly in replace of Ant McPartlin.

Michael revealed Mr Hook replied to the message, and he believed it came from Holly.

The response read: "Yes of course, but I'll probably be busy with pre-prep assembly.  Are my suits really that bad?"

Michael joked he would then reply: "Quick text back 'yes, see you tomorrow'", but Holly pleaded against it, she added: "No. Don't you dare!"

Michael McIntyre's Big Show airs tomorrow night on BBC 1 at 8:10pm.
