Joe Swash taken out by wrestler after Stacey Solomon leaves him red-faced over sex quip

Joe Swash clearly has no qualms with being embarrassed on live TV.

The presenter, 36, was left red-faced after his girlfriend Stacey Solomon called out his sex quip on Thursday before being floored by a wrestler on Friday morning.

Swash decided to take on British professional Justin Sysum on Good Morning Britain – but he was quickly left screaming for help.

Swash walked into the studio claiming to have Sysum’s belt, asking: “You want it? You better come and get it.”

Sysum ripped off his shirt and threw Swash over his shoulder before slamming him to the floor, leaving the former EastEnders star pleading with weatherman Alex Beresford to come and save him.

“Alex come and help me,” he shouted. “Get him. Bring him down.”

Hosts Charlotte Hawkins and Ranvir Singh were left holding their heads in their hands as they begged the trio to stop.

It comes a day after Swash was called out by Solomon for cheekily claiming they sometimes wear blindfolds in the bedroom.

Swash made the comment while discussing new Netflix hit Bird Box, but was unaware show bosses had linked up Solomon via FaceTime.

“That's an interesting take you've got on Christmas, Joe,” she said. “And P.S, we don’t wear blindfolds – ever, for anything!”

Swash and Solomon recently moved in together after dating for two years.

They spent their first Christmas in their new home with Solomon’s sons Zachary, 10, and Leighton, six.

Swash also has son Harry with his ex.
