Phillip Schofield was taken aback after his This Morning editor gave him an 'unbroadcastable,' message through an ear piece live on the show, which he refused to divulge to viewers.
As Phillip and his ITV co-host Holly Willoughby were joined by Vanessa Feltz for a phone-in about neighbour disputes, a caller contacted them, saying she was growing sick of hearing her older neighbours having sex all the time.
Reading out the plea for advice from the woman named Kay, Holly said: "Kay says 'our neighbours are over 70 and are always, let's say, 'at it,' like rabbits all day and night. We're constantly hearing particular noises and it's awkward as I have two children and they notice it too. It's very hard for me to explain why they're having so much fun.'"

After first joking: "What are they on to be doing that over 70?" Vanessa responded: "I think you need to say: 'Listen, I'm sure you wouldn't like to now your most private activities are clearly audible from our house. I thought I'd point out it to you as I don't want you to feel embarrassed that everything you're doing, which is terrific, is audible to us and the kids and the milkman, the dustman and everyone else in the vicinity."
Having another quip about the situation, Venessa added: "How are you doing it? Please wrote a book that we can all buy. 'Yes, yes, yes,' but not so loudly that we can all hear it. I can't believe she hasn't just shouted out the window 'shut up!' I think that shows amazing resilience."
Phillip replied: "It's a tricky conversation to have," before he became distracted by something said in his ear and then adding: "Well, let's be very thankful that they don't live next door to our editor whose advice down our ear is not broadcastable and not very diplomatic. You can't say that out loud!"
