Holly Willoughby left giggling as Gordon Ramsay makes cheeky remark about a 'soft crack'

Holly Willoughby couldn't help but giggle on Monday's This Morning as she and her co-host Phillip Schofield welcomed Gordon Ramsay into the studio.

The fiery TV chef appeared on the ITV show to give viewers some advice on their cooking dilemmas and he couldn't resist making a few cheeky remarks.

One caller was keen to get Gordon's thoughts on how to you make toffee apples for Halloween later this month.

Gordon advised: "Great non-stick pan, low gas, should be about 170 or 175 and then take it off, and also it will continue cooking so be very smart with that?"

"Do you use a sugar thermometer?" the caller then asked.

"That's right, I was gonna say a soft ball or a soft crack, about 170," Gordon replied.

Keeping a straight face, he added: "It doesn't sound appropriate in the morning talking about a soft crack, but we're all talking about sugar."

Mum-of-three Holly was heard giggling as Phillip joked: "Especially not with caramel!"

Another viewer named Carol asked Gordon how she can avoid "a soggy bottom" when making his beef wellington recipe.

"I'm so sorry we've got a soggy bottom first thing on a Monday morning. The secret to that is letting it rest," Gordon told her.

"And also, go back to the beginning when you start searing the meat, if you lock the juices in by a good searing, it doesn't weep. But the secret behind a great wellington is let t rest."

Holly then queried: "So do you mean let the steaky bit rest before you put it in the pastry?"

Clearly baffled by Holly's choice of words, Gordon replied: "Steaky bit, did you just say?"

"You know what I mean!" Holly told him as members of the This Morning crew could be heard laughing in the background.

This Morning airs weekdays at 10am on ITV.
