Lorraine Kelly left the Good Morning Britain presenters in hysterics after a cheeky remark on today's show.
Tuesday's edition of the ITV news programme was hosted by Richard Madeley and Susanna Reid.
One of the topics discussed on the latest edition was whether it was the right time to handshake and hug again after world leaders were shown greeting one another with elbow bumps at the COP26 in Glasgow.

Famous TV chef Rustie Lee appeared on the segment alongside Dr Hilary Jones to provide their views on whether it was safe to hug again.
The 72-year-old entertainment personality spoke about how she thought it was the right time to embrace one another as we need to de-stress.
She said: "We've all been through such a traumatic time. Even from birth, we all need touch and it's good for our health.
"We've all mostly had the injections so we needs hugs through this to destress. People are meant to have physical touch."
However, Dr Hilary Jones said it was unsafe to hug as we are still in the midst of the pandemic.
He argued: "I like a hug as much as the next person, but right now it's unsafe to do.
"We've had a thousand people die in the last week, we had 7,000 hospitalisations up to October 26 and 40,000 cases a day.
"When you hug somebody, you're in very close proximity and breathing their air."
Susanna Reid was alarmed by the figures before ending the discussion by moving to Lorraine Kelly - who was introducing her show, which was following Good Morning Britain.
However, the presenters were left in hysterics when she waded into the debate with a cheeky remark.
Lorraine joked: "I'm Scottish. We go all stiff when anybody tries to hug us. Not in a good way."
Richard and Susanna erupted in hysterics at the quip.
Susanna said: "Lorraine, I love it."
