Joe Swash confessed Loose Women has "caused so many problems" with him and Stacey Solomon.
Stacey admitted the couple were going to spend the whole journey home arguing after Ruth outed their heated conversation they had in the TV break.
So it's no wonder Joe, 38, playfully hit back as he claimed Loose Women always causes him problems with his lover.
He told TV audiences: "Coming on this show is a really bad idea. Every time it just causes me and Stacey problems."
Just moments before, Ruth raised eyebrows when she said the conversation with Stacey and Joe in the break was "interesting".
"Conversations in the break here are very interesting," she said.
Stacey responded: "We are going to be spending the whole journey home arguing."
The mum-of-three then burst into giggles while she sat beside her grumpy long-term lover.
Cheeky Joe crossed his arms and raised his eyebrows at his girlfriend's bold remark.
Then he had the guts to hit back in jest when he said the show caused them "so many problems".
The former I'm A Celeb star and Eamonn Holmes joined their other halves Stacey Solomon and Ruth on Loose Women's special episode.
Joe and Stacey have a happy home life together at their lovenest where they raise their son Rex as well as her boys Leigh and Zach.
Stacey juggles being a mum with her high-flying TV job which includes regular appearances on Loose Women as a panelist.
Elsewhere in the interview, Joe fumed Stacey lied about saying him doing the housework was a turn on to get him to help her out.
He said to Stacey: "No, you just said that you think it's sexy when I do housework. She goes to me, 'Oh, clean the windows, clean the windows! Let me film you!'
"The first three or four times I thought, 'Oh my god, I must be doing this really good. Shall I bite my lip?'
"In the end, I realised it was just to get me to do housework!"
*Loose Women airs weekdays at 12.30pm on ITV
