Winterwatch served up one hell of an innuendo tonight
Fans of the BBC Two nature programme rushed to joke on social media when Chris said of a bird while previewing tomorrow night's episode: "I'll get Michaela out of bed to show her black c**k in the flesh."
"Chris Packham is waking Michaela up in the morning for some what??? Serious innuendo bingo," wrote one fan.
Another joked: "*spits tea everywhere* What did Packham just SAY?!"
"Massive kudos to Chris Packham there. The wife nearly choked on her pizza," remarked a third.

The presenter was labelled a "dirty boy" by another user, while someone else quipped: "#ChrisPackham Getting a close to the 'bone' as possible on the BBC with his last c**k comment!"
At the time of writing, Packham had not responded to any of the tweets since the show came off-air, and nor had Strachan.
The show has dominated social media conversation this evening, beating the likes of Celebrity Big Brother, BBC Two's Real Marigold Hotel and ITV's Sugar Free Farm.
Fans can watch every night this week
The show is one of three annual series by the BBC, alongside Springwatch and Autumnwatch. The whole franchise has been running since 2005.
Packham, replacing Bill Oddie, joined in 2009, while Strachan came aboard in 2011. The on-air team also includes Martin Hughes-Games.
Winterwatch continues tomorrow at 8pm on BBC Two.
