Alex got the complete wrong end of the stick though and asked Joe: "What do you do...is it fly fishing, sea fishing?"

"Oooh as in goldfish, those big ones?" But a Joe replied: "They're not goldfish though."

To which Alex, looking mortified, replied: "Let's pretend this was never on television," She then joked: "My husband's going to be so not proud of me at this moment."

The presenter has previously spoken about her husband's hobby on the show. She said: "So many, I hate time wasting...my husband does a lot of stuff. Mainly, Charlie, watching rugby videos in the loo or fishing videos."

Speaking about his documentary, which explores issues within the care system, Joe also opened up about his family life and his mum becoming a foster carer. He said: "It's the one thing that she is so proud of, being a mum and she is so good at. She felt that she had more to give.

"It's been the most amazing journey for us. It's been brilliant. And so we have done this documentary highlighting some of the problems in the care system."
