dark.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>While complaining about her back pain, Williams discreetly popped the water balloon underneath her chair in the studio and looked over at Theakston in shock.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Oh my God!\u2019 she shouted, as Theakston rushed over to see what had happened, quickly pivoting to crisis management and taking Williams\u2019 headphones off
