Rancid’s Lars Frederiksen announces solo spring tour

Strictly Come Dancing sisters Motsi Mabuse and Oti Mabuse have become firm favourites on the show, adored by the British public.

This Morning presenter Phillip Schofield gave fans a teaser for what was to come on the show today.Taking to Instagram, the talk show host addressed a dilemma with his followers, as he took a photo of the ITV show's latest guest in quite an extraordinary position. Phillip, 59, posted the bizarre update in view of his three million Instagram followers.Towards the start of the show, Phillip couldn't help but wonder if he should step in to help out his guest.Pictured was a woman dangling upside down, seemingly supported by a piece of fabric. The flexible guest had her legs wrapped around pieces of silk attached to what appeared to be some sort of metal frame. Next to the photo, Phillip wrote: “Not sure if I should rush in and help this guest!!!”There are forms of gymnastics, acrobatics, and dance that make use of aerial silks, which seemed to be what the woman in the picture was attempting.The practice of Aerial Silks involves two lengths of fabric rigged from the ceiling, where adventurous aerialists might attempt to climb and contort around the pieces of fabric, which help to build strength. On the show today, Phillip and his co-star Holly Willoughby, 41, also hosted a debate on gender neutral bathrooms, chatted to resident chef Gino D'Acampo and spoke to Strictly’s Craig Revel Horwood about his upcoming solo tour.
