The problem with hosting a show with someone you’re also mates with is that when one of you gets the giggles, it’s pretty hard to recover from – something that This Morning hosts Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield will definitely be able to attest to.

Considering it airs during the day, it’s pretty remarkable that the ITV show has become almost as famous for its double-entendres as it is for its helpful cooking segments and celebrity interviews, with Holly and Phil often struggling to keep a straight face after royally putting their foot in it.

To make matters worse, the show airs live, meaning that whoever it is that’s made the slip-up has no choice but to at least try and gather themselves in front of the nation. The whole country can do nothing but watch as the presenters giggle like 11-year-olds at something that (in most cases, at least) is actually completely innocent.

Not that we’re complaining, of course. This Morning innuendos are something we can’t help but laugh at ourselves, and have become a huge part of the show’s success over the last three decades. 

Here are 15 of our favourites (and trust us, narrowing it down was a tough job) for you to have a chuckle at...

'Maybe she just needs cream!'
Phillip's reaction to Miley Cyrus "working a lot with The Flaming Lips" was pretty priceless.
'Once it's in, I love it!'
After much cajoling, Holly finally agreed to eat a mussel. The outburst that followed probably made her wish she hadn't bothered.
'It's a slide!'
Every second of this video us either gasp in shock, cringe deeply or laugh out loud.
'I've got a tinted blow job waiting for me'
Lynda La Plante's unfortunate choice of words raised a giggle from Phillip and Holly.
'It is actually... it's coming between you'
Introducing a segment about the effect of pornography on relationships, Phil couldn't help but notice a few poorly chosen words on the autocue.
'He's never coming in my keyhole, let me tell you that'
Oh, Mandy.
'I have never gone to sleep with it in my hand'
Cue a 30-second giggle fit from Holly Willoughby.
'Please do me! Stay and do me'
Holly Willoughby's plea from this "real-life Sherlock" raised a few eyebrows in the studio... and among viewers.
'You fork the spaghetti, you fork whatever you want...'
Believe it or not, the repeated use of the word "twiddle" wasn't responsible for this particular laughing fit.
'Now you've got a wet sausage'
Very mature, Holly.
'I've never whizzed it all over the kitchen'
Phil's wife "really doesn't approve of that", apparently.
'You've just been eating salty worms, you're on about seeds in bedrooms'
In hindsight, probably not the thing to say in front of Keith Lemon.
'A beautiful long sheet'
How they kept it together all the way through this is beyond us.
'You don't mind dunking a bit of beef, do you?'
The original and best.
'I've still got a mouthful of beef'
Fern's legacy lives on.
