This Morning viewers were in disbelief following one of the phone calls on the show

Over the years we've seen and heard a lot of unusual stories on This Morning; there was that woman who claims she has sex with ghosts, Martina Big who says she's a black woman and a woman got a "designer vagina" live on television.

However, viewers couldn't quite believe one woman's confession during the phone in session on This Morning.

Check your moles

Elaine developed a small mole on her cheek, but years later a friend said it looked different. That's why you need to check your moles every month. It's a good idea to take photos too, because you see yourself every day and may miss changes. If you're not sure, show your mum, sister or friend. Also check places like your back, bum, scalp, soles of your feet, and between your fingers.

Know your risk

If several relatives have had skin cancer, you're more likely to get it too, so any mole that looks suspicious should be checked. Elaine is fair-skinned, which also ups the risk, but nobody – whatever their skin type – should use sunbeds, and nobody should get burned. Burned skin is a sign you've damaged your DNA and that's a cancer risk.If you have more than 11 moles on your right arm, or any really big ones (bigger than 6mm across), your risk is increased too. If having lots of moles makes it hard to check them, you could use an app like SkinVision or Miiskin, or even pay for a mole mapping service. They cost about £150 – but if you've spent years using sunbeds, it could be a wise investment.

What to look for

A healthy mole should be even, so both halves look the same, and the edges should be sharp – not jagged or blurred – and it should be one colour, not bigger than 6mm across and it shouldn't change. If it does, see your GP. Symptoms can take 20 years to develop, and can be caused by being burned from as far back as childhood. If you remember being as red as a lobster on childhood holidays, you need to keep checking your moles.

Don't be fooled

Sunbeds can give out UV rays stronger than midday tropical sun, so don't think that because it's a nice machine in a shiny salon it's safe or medicalised. Those rays can also damage your eyes, so look out for dark spots or changes in your vision.Melanoma is the third most common cancer in the UK and the earlier you spot it, the easier it is to treat, so make checking your moles a monthly habit.

Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield were alongside therapists Nik and Eva Speakman and were talking to a caller named Sarah who's afraid of frogs. Things took a surprising turn when she revealed the reason she's afraid of frogs is because she got hepatitis from one when she kissed it!

Yes really.

She explained: "When I was about six, I believed if you kissed a frog you’d get a prince, but ended up with hepatitis instead."

Both This Morning presenters were visibly shocked and Phil struggled to keep his laughter in. Holly then asked: "Can that happen?"

Sarah then replied: "Yeah, they carry all sorts of diseases."

The mum-of-two went on to reveal how bad her phobia affects her, "I can’t even look at them, I have two boys that are very typical boys and love frogs and things, I can’t even look at pictures of them.

"I have to check story time, I can’t read anything that’s got a picture of a frog in the book, Peter rabbit has a frog or a toad or something in it, and I can’t even read or watch that with him."

Luckily the Speakmans managed to help the caller out with her fear, however viewers couldn't believe her confession, with one person tweeting: "She kissed a frog and got hepatitis 😂 Jesus Christ these phone ins get worse. #ThisMorning"

One more added: "Watching Phillip Schofield try not to laugh at this woman kissing a frog and getting hepatitis is absolutely hilarious #ThisMorning"
