This Morning: Holly Willoughby was left in fits of giggles over the sexual innuendo

This Morning host Holly Willoughby was left with uncontrollable giggles as gadget guy Steve Wilson made a shock sexual innuendo live on air.

Holly had joined co-star Phillip Schofield and Steve for a Father’s Day segment as Steve showed off the best gadgets for the big day.

However, as Steve operated a cardboard fishing rod, which is powered by a Nintendo Switch, Steve let slip an x-rated comment.

The star had attempted to demonstrate what happens when you catch a fish, telling the hosts: “I wanna catch one!

This Morning: Phillip Schofield adopted a blank expression as Holly Willoughby laughed

“Because when you actually catch it, you bring it up to the surface and you flick your rod and it brings it up to your screen.” 

At this, Phil turned to the camera as he successfully suppressed a laugh by adopting a blank expression, before retorting: “I would in sheer delight!”

However, Holly was unable to help herself as she burst into giggles.

But while Steve and Phil ploughed on, Holly continued laughing in the background as she struggled to continue.
