Judi bought along some deodorant and a bowl of sweet potatoes to demonstrate her method. Ranvir spotted Judi's props and said: "Now most people have a croissant for breakfast, but you appear to have brought a bowl full of sweet potato and some deodorant?"
Judi replied: "For those who are going out into the sun, please wear your deodorant because it’s hard for us, especially when we’re in close proximity with each other. And this sweet potato, you can boil it, make it cool and put it under your armpit if you’ve got an odour issue."
A shocked Ranvir said: "What?!" "And have those been under your armpits yet or…?" Ed asked. Judi explained: "No! You have to boil it, mash it, let it cool a little bit, just put it under your armpit and let it draw out the stench!" The Loose Women star admitted it was an "old school method".
"Can I just say, it’s an education Judi. Everything you say is an education, it’s a joy to have you in," Ranvir said. Judi’s method may have worked for her but some viewers were stunned.
One fan wrote: "#GMB did Judi Love just recommend putting mashed sweet potato under your arm pits to help with body odour???" "What ????? Don’t forget to put sweet spuds under your armpits…" another wrote.
"As usual Judi Love talking a load of [bleep], She could be responsible for people with odour issues ending up in A&E with burns in their armpits, caused by hot sweet potato!" ranted another viewer. "What the [bleep] is this on @GMB sweet potatoes under your arms. Is this news?" another wrote.
