During their regular chat about health with Dr Chris Steele, they were talking about whether regular sex is the answer to good heart health. Apparently, it's only good for men though (err, okay then). Dr Chris explained: "Women benefit less because sexual arousal is less dependent on increased blood flow in blood vessels."

The conversation took a surprising turn when Phil denied having a secret affair with Dr Chris. After the doctor admitted he and Phil were "smiling smugly" because of the research, the TV presenter looked directly at the camera and said: "Let me just say, this is not because Dr Chris and I have any relationship whatsoever."

That wasn't the all though, because Holly was quick to question whether the research was "discovered by a man".

She went on and pretended to be a man and joked: "Darling, it's good for my heart. You may have a headache, darling, but if you love me…"

It was shortly after Holly's joke that the conversation turned X-rated, Dr Chris responded and said: "I don't know… I'm gonna be dashing home for some more treatment tonight!"

Holly was clearly shocked and called Dr Chris "outrageous" but then Phil – who was team Dr Chris – literally made us gasp out loud (in the office) when he said: "We do all the work anyway.

"You don't get any exercise in 'put my nightie down when you've finished'."

Err, we're not quite sure your wife wants to hear that on the TV Phil.

Luckily everyone was laughing and Holly admitted: "This is shocking!"

We're surprised too Hols.

After Dr Chris confessed that he has coronary arteries that are damaged, Holly and Phil advised that he sort it out before quickly moving on from the conversation.

This Morning viewers found the segment hilarious, with one person tweeting: "Watching #ThisMorning @Schofe and @hollywills never fail to make me laugh! love em!!" 🤣🤣🤣

Another wrote: "Doctor Chris is a dirty dog #ThisMorning."

Someone else said: "'Pull my night down when you're finished' @Schofe just go x rate on #ThisMorning."
