Steve Harvey left sweating as Family Feud contestant makes shock confession on show

Family Feud descended into chaos after a contestant claimed she and married host Steve Harvey had been "sleeping together for 12 years".

The TV funnyman, 66, tied the knot with his third wife Marjorie back in 2007 – but according to recent show participant Darlene, he's been 'sleeping' with someone else.

In a shocking preview for a new episode, Steve and the live studio audience were left speechless as the shocking revelations were unveiled mid-show.

"I just have to tell you one thing if you don't mind," the contestant asked a worried-looking Steve as he introduced this week's line-up of families.

"We need to go ahead and let the cat out of the bag," Darlene explained, before revealing: "You and I have been sleeping together for 12 years."

It was silence in the studio after the audience gasped before Steve, who looked completely shocked by the comment, quipped: "That's way more than the cat!"

Clarifying that she was joking, clearing up exactly what she meant, Darlene explained: "I have managed to fall asleep to you for the past 12 years!"

Clearly thankful after finding out that Darlene meant 'sleeping together' virtually while she watched his TV shows, Steve replied: "Oh thank you Jesus!"

Producers captioned the hilarious clip on Instagram : "Darlene’s secret makes Steve Harvey sweat! MEOW. #FamilyFeud."

"Steve was scared that Marjorie was going to ask him about it as soon as he got home when it aired," joked one fan – mentioning his wife.

Another added: "At least Steve Harvey has a secret admirer." While a third wrote: "That was hysterical! Look at Steve’s reaction. He is funny as hell. I love this show!!"
