PHILLIP SCHOFIELD hit out at Paddy McGuinness after the game show host made a controversial remark on This Morning.
Phillip Schofield and Paddy McGuinness clash on live TV
Paddy, 44, was discussing Take Me Out as he prepares for his tenth season as the programme's presenter.
Tensions erupted when the actor mentioned an upcoming old-age pensioners special for contestants over 50 years of age.
Phillip, 55, took umbrage with the inference that those over 50 were “old”.
“Hang on, hang on, you just haul yourself right back here,” he said, “For how old?”
This is awkward
“This is awkward,” Paddy exclaimed.
Phillip replied: “Oh you complete and absolute a**e.”
Paddy was left open-mouthed at Phillip’s choice of words and confronted him.
“What? I’ll take the dog chew but I didn’t actually swear. I’m not watching Dancing On Ice this Sunday.”
However, it was clear there was no bad blood between the two as they proceeded to laugh at the exchange.
Paddy had already caused chaos on the set as prior to the interview he had nearly bitten on the crotch by This Morning’s dog, Digby.
“That is not a dog chew,” he said to the canine, “It has been in the past but…”
Fans were tickled and took the Twitter to expressed their amusement.
“Paddy McGuiness on This Morning... #thatisnotadogchew #ThisMorning # that made me chuckle,” one viewer wrote.
While another added: “Let the dog see the chew @PaddyMcGuinness @Schofe @hollywills @thismorning.”
This Morning airs weekdays at 10.30am on ITV.
