Ireland AM viewers couldn't help but notice the awkward moment host Alan put an end to a guest chef's apparent sexual innuendo.
Chef Jack appeared on the Virgin Media show on Tuesday to show viewers how to make a classic minestrone soup.
The culinary master brought in his own homegrown vegetables and quickly turned to show the camera his carrot, which was short and fat.

Quizzing chef Jack on his goods, Alan said: "Now, before we start, you were growing your own vegetables, and this was your - we were saying your wonky carrot earlier on."
To which co-host Tommy Bowe shouted: "It's huge!"
Alan complimented the chef and said: "Look at that. You grew it yourself."
Jack then made an apparent sexual joke about the crooked carrot.
He said: "What it was missing in length - it had in girth."
The hosting duo were stumped by the remark as Tommy replied: "Okay."
Alan quickly moved on from the topic, saying "Now, let's not go there." Jack laughed off the joke and said: "You brought it there!"
The news comes after Ireland AM hosts Muireann O'Connell and Tommy Bowe got a fright live on air that caused them both to scream out loud earlier this month.
It occurred while the pair were chatting to ghost hunter and Most Haunted presenter Yvette Fielding.
Yvette joined them to talk about her new children's book and spoke about her career in ghost hunting.
At one point, Tommy pointed out how jumpy Muireann is, with everyone on set creeping up behind her at different times to frighten her.
He said: "I don't know how you would cope with [ghost hunting]."
She agreed and said: "Alan [sneaks up on] me all the time, and I freak out."
The conversation continued with Yvette speaking about when Boyzone and Louis Walsh joined them on an investigation for an episode of Most Haunted.
However, as Tommy tried to move the conversation on, he was interrupted. The two hosts screamed as Alan Hughes jumped up from behind the couch. Even Yvette seemed to get a fright.
