ODAY host Lisa Wilkinson was the victim of a prank when her phone rang on air this morning, her co-host Karl Stefanovic has revealed. As a taped segment ended, a loud ring erupted from below the desk, seemingly taking both presenters by surprise. "Is that yours?" Stefanovic asked. "I've got an awful feeling it is?" Wilkinson replied, turning red. Have you ever pranked a co-worker on camera? Let us know at news.feedback@ninemsn.com.au Stefanovic then pretended to speak to Wilkinson's daughter, asking her to call back after the show had ended. Stefanovic has now revealed the phone call was a prank on Wilkinson, with sports presenter Ben Fordham actually making the call from the side of the desk. "She leaves her phone on the set all the time, so it was all about teaching her a lesson," Stefanovic told ninemsn. "She fell for it hook, line and sinker." An embarrassed Wilkinson is now planning her revenge. "Clearly Karl's an excellent liar, and Ben is too," she joked. "I didn't pick it, and I normally do. "Georgie (Gardner) and I are cooking up something up as we speak." Wilkinson said that the others also have their phones on the set to allow them to keep up to date with the newswires, but she had turned hers off before going to air. "My phone wasn't on — they switched it on," she said. "That's why I was so shocked." Coincidentally, the prank followed a segment from reporter Mike Dalton which included a joke about turning mobile phones off
