Phillip Schofield had to be towed home after putting unleaded fuel in a diesel car.

The This Morning host admitted he became confused when he used his wife Steph's car and filled it up with his usual fuel.

"Just forgot which one I was in as I tried to decide whether I wanted wine gums or crisps!" he said on Twitter.

"I did start the car, then I drove it about 500 yards before it died. So it's not gonna be cheap."

The presenter had to wait a couple of hours to be picked up by the AA and taken home.

He now faces a bill of £300 to have the car fuel tank drained and flushed.

After spotting his bungle, he said: "Note to self, don't put unleaded in a diesel, it REALLY screws up your Sunday."
