Phillip Schofield let slip a rude joke on today’s This Morning, during a live discussion on teenage masturbation.

Phillip, 56, couldn’t resist sharing a cliched sex joke towards the end of a chat with co-host Holly Willoughby, 37, when they were joined by guest social worker and comedienne Judi Love and relationships expert Annabelle Knight.

They were on the morning show to discuss the idea of teenage girls being given vibrators as a means of normalising sexual exploration and to ‘close the pleasure gap’.

The chat appeared to have gone off without a hitch and, just as it reached its climax, Phil pipped up with a joke that went straight over Holly’s head.

‘Well’ of course’ as you can imagine this has sparked a mass debate,’ he quipped. The guests roared with laughter but Holly remained oddly composed – suggesting she hadn’t clocked on to Phil’s naughty joke.

Viewers certainly noticed his cheeky comment…

@Schofe WE SEE WHAT YOU DID THERE MASS DEBATE

This is absolutely ludicrous, the only rabbits 13 year old girls should be interacting with are the ones you get in Sylvanian family sets! Nice use of the words "mass debate" too @Schofe #ThisMorning @ITV
