Russell Howard downs cider live on air at 9am before his naughty magazines are exposed

Russell Howard cheekily downed cider live on Good Morning Britain today at 9am.

GMB viewers caught the comedian cracking open a tinny while chatting to Lorraine Kelly from his childhood bedroom.

Russell had already left the Scottish presenter in shock by discussing the 'moans' coming from his parents' room while in lockdown.

He said: "You know what I could do without. The endless newspaper articles on how to spice up your love life.

"It’s tough enough as it is. I don’t want to hear those kind of moans coming from my parents’ bedroom."

Russell got a telling off from Lorraine for not tidying his room, but the comedian admitted he loved getting disciplined by the presenter.

Dr Hilary hilarious told him: "Hide those magazines from your mum."
