Alastair Campbell was left startled on Good Morning Britain over "deeply inappropriate" comments being made in his earpiece while he was presenting the show.
The 64-year-old former Labour press secretary has joined Susanna Reid to host the ITV programme for the week.
After an ad break, Alastair was seen trying not to laugh as he told viewers: "Good Morning Britain, it's gone 7 o'clock."
Baffled, Susanna asked him: "You alright?"
"I was laughing at something, sorry," Alastair replied.
Susanna probed him: "You want to share it with the group, Alastair?"
"I don't think I can, really, but there's something going on in my ear and it was deeply inappropriate," he replied.
It comes after Susanna was left cringing yesterday as Alastair asked her to feel his "wrinkly apples".
Just minutes into the ITV show, Alastair said that he needed to voice a complaint about his Ocado shop.
The 64-year-old said that he was shocked after receiving a pair of wrinkly apples and, when calling up the store, was told it was essentially a result of Brexit.
After pulling out the two pieces of fruit, he said: "Last night, my Ocado shop arrives. Apples - have a little feel of my apples."
Reaching across the table towards Susanna, she hesitantly took the apple as she said: "Right... OK. It's a little wrinkly."
"It's wrinkly and it's soft and a bit rubbery," Alastair said. "So we checked it out with Ocado and they said basically it's because of a shortage of pickers, shortage of drivers and a shortage of CO2. So all these things we've been talking about, they're affecting our apples as well.
"So this is a Brexit apple, I would argue."
Later, he blasted Prime Minister Boris Johnson over the fuel crisis, warning that he needs to "get a grip".
