Holly Willoughby surprised viewers on Wednesday's episode of This Morning as she snuggled a cuddly puppy on live TV.

The Wizard of Pawz finalists appeared on the show as the This Morning hosts searched for the next Toto – who was starred beside Judy Garland as her beloved dog when she played Dorothy on The Wizard of Oz.

The winning dog was crowned with the title of Toto in today's final.

Holly, 38, sent the nation into meltdown with the tiny Pomeranian pup named Peewee.

As Peewee was introduced onto the show, Phillip, 57, laughed: "He's a little startled isn't he?" as the little bear-like dog appeared to hold a straight expression.

Peewee is turning six next month, and has been selected as a wild card for the final.

Speaking to owner Maria, Holly asked: "Is he pleased to be back in the competition?"

"I think so yeah. He's got plenty of treats," Maria replied as the Pomeranian made waving movements which enlightened the hosting duo.

There were three finalists including Poppi, Tony and Mikey.

And a judging panel waited for the dogs to strut their stuff down the mock yellow brick road.

Love Island's Kem Cetinay, 23, presented the dogs as they stepped onto the road where they had to perform tricks for the judges and of course, Holly and Phil.

Holly couldn't help herself and asked: "Can I snuggle Peewee?" before collecting him from Maria.

Although Peewee was cute, he didn't quite catch the eye of the judges, as Mikey won the competition and was crowned Toto.

Viewers were left shocked by the winner as many of them fell for the gorgeous Pomeranian.

"Good choice but peewee GORGEOUS!!!!!!!!!!" one posted on Twitter after the winner was announced.

Another commented: "Peewee is absolutely hopeless. But how can you resist that little face"

While a third joked: "#toto I want that Pomeranian".
