David Walliams shocked Britain's Got Talent viewers this evening with a semen joke just minutes into the live show - while hosts Ant and Dec looked panicked.
To celebrate the Queen's Platinum Jubilee, the ITV programme had arranged for some tea and scones for the judges to enjoy during tonight's show.
But Simon Cowell couldn't resist getting a bit of payback against David, 50, by smashing a cream scone into his face.
Noticing that David's face had been smeared with cream, Dec asked "what on earth had happened".
"Simon just put a cream scone in my face," David said, prompting Dec to give Simon a ticking off.
"It wasn't me, honestly," Simon insisted with a grin. "It was Alesha."
Ant and Dec turned back to David, who joked: "You can't see anything, can you?"
"You've just got a little bit dribbling down your chin," Dec pointed out.
David quipped: "Not for the first time!"
The hosts appeared panicked as they swiftly moved the conversation along, but the moment didn't go unnoticed by viewers.
One tweeted: "Loved how Ant looked slightly panicked about what David was going to say about being creampied #BGT."
While another commented: "Ant and dec embarrassed by David's obvious sperm joke #BGT."
A third wrote: "David seems pretty determined to get them taken off air this week… #BGT."
One fumed: "david's "i'm apparently gay and it's so funny lol" jokes are so tiring please shut this man up #bgt."
Another quipped: "Did David Walliams REALLY just say that? Jeeeeeez."
"Absolute filth from david then......#BGT," one joked.
A viewer reminded the judge: "Family show, David. Family show."
Another agreed, commenting: "WOW ‘ed David …wrong show #bgt."
*Britain's Got Talent returns on Sunday at 7.30pm on ITV
