Eamonn Holmes left This Morning viewers blushing today when he compared his penis to a pineapple in a cheeky chat about naked calendars.
While discussing Coronation Street's male cast members participating in a nude calendar shoot, This Morning's soap expert Sharon Marshall revealed Dev Alahan, played by Jimmi Harkishin, posed with fruit "in front of his bits".
However, Dev's son Aadi was left cringing when he discovered part of his father's manhood had not been edited out.
Stunned by the revelation, Dev instantly raced to take a closer look but clarified that it was, in fact, a particularly "hairy kiwi".
Following a discussion about Dev's slip up, Eamonn, 61, revealed he was once asked to participate in a naked photoshoot but politely declined the request.
Looking towards Eamonn, soap whizz Sharon asked: "Would you do it here? I don't know how much fruit we'd need?"
"Not a pair, not an orange, no-no," said Eamonn.
He continued: "I have to say, do you have any pineapples? Maybe something like that?" as he held up a prop pineapple.
"I was asked to do one of those calendars once," after being asked by wife Ruth Langsford who had asked him, he continued: "It was a rugby - I had to cover myself with a rugby ball!
"I think it was for testicular cancer, do you want all the gory details?" he asked Ruth.
However, she said: "I was just wondering how I missed this one but you didn't do it?"
"I didn't do it, no," confirmed Eamonn.
Joking about the incident, Sharon added: "Well at least it wasn't ping pong - at least it was rugby!"
However, one viewer was left rather saddened that Eamonn turned down the calendar, they tweeted: "Eamonn would be great on a charity calendar #ThisMorning."
Earlier on the programme, the Dublin-born journalist revealed the delightful news that he had become a grandfather for the first time.
Opening today's instalment of the hit ITV show, Eamonn announced that "things had changed" since viewers had seen him yesterday.
"You're a granddad!" said Ruth before she began clapping.
Eamonn stated: "It wasn't just me - it was my son Declan and his wife Jenny, they are the happy couple and Jenny gave birth to Amelia."
"Lovely name," said Ruth as she beamed from ear to ear.
Speaking about his new granddaughter, Eamonn confirmed that she was born at 7lbs and 6oz's before saying: "o that's the first grandchild, my mother's a great-grandmother."
"What are you going to be?" Ruth asked. "Gramps, granddad? Grumps we came up with, didn't we, but he wasn't too keen on that one."
Eamonn joked: "It surprises people because they think, 'He's too young to be a grandfather' and already I've got people getting in touch with me about glamorous granddad competitions and that kind of thing.
But my friend Bill, he's anointed himself 'Papa'."
This Morning airs weekdays at 10am on ITV.
