Lewis Capaldi left Naga Munchetty flustered - and viewers in hysterics - after making a racy sex joke live on BBC Breakfast.
The Scottish singer was on the show on Saturday morning to talk about his new single Forget Me, which shot to the top of the charts last week giving him his third Number 1.
But during the chat with Naga and co-host Charlie Stayt there was a “classic breakdown of communication” Lewis explained on Twitter afterwards.
It all started off innocently when 25-year-old Lewis told Charlie he had “great hair”.
“You’ve got great hair too,” Charlie replied, before Lewis leant in to give the breakfast presenter a high five.
Naga then jokingly asked the pair if they “would like a room” as their budding bromance continued.

This is where it all went wrong, as Lewis mistakenly thought Naga had said something else completely.
Seemingly forgetting he was on live TV, Lewis replied: “I thought you said rim.”
A shocked Naga covered her face in embarrassment and stared down at the camera as she swiftly moved things on.
Ending the interview, she told viewers: “We’re going to have a little word with Lewis” as he laughed in the background.
Sharing the now viral clip on his Twitter account afterwards, the singer wrote: “A classic breakdown in communication.”
Fans were quick to comment on the hilarious clip with one saying: “Hahahahaha this might be your finest work yet.”
Another said: “Quite possibly the greatest interview of all time. Lewis you're a legend sir!”
A third wrote: “This is the most awkward thing I’ve ever seen, I love it. That moment when you realise you will end up in a HR meeting later...”
A third was left-red faced after tweeting: “I've just had to explain what rimming is to my Mum on her 76th birthday cos I was laughing too hard at this she wanted to see the clip... It's not the gift I wanted to give her!”
While a fourth joked they were “off to go tidy my rim”.
Another viewer pointed out it was not the first time Lewis had dropped a clanger on breakfast TV.
“First you’re offering Lorraine ‘7 inches of me’ and now this,” they tweeted.
A couple of weeks ago Lewis appeared on Lorraine to again promote his new single and ended up leaving the host red-faced.
As he handed the presenter a copy of the track on vinyl, he quipped: “It’s seven inches of me.”
Following up the joke, he quickly added: "There you go, my seven inch... record. Sorry."
Luckily Lorraine saw the funny and thanked him for the gift and for "lifting the nation's spirits".
