Hollywood actor Taika Waititi refused to answer Phillip Schofield's question about Rita Ora during an appearance on Monday's This Morning.
The 46-year-old star appeared on the ITV show live from a London hotel suite alongside Chris Evans to promote their new film Lightyear.
As Phillip and his co-host Holly Willoughby giggled their way through the interview, Taika complained that his ear piece was loose and that's why he kept fiddling with it.
Towards the end of the interview, Phillip said: "Well, we've congratulated Chris on his birthday... so Taika are there wedding bells?"
Taika quickly interrupted him and said: "You can congratulate me! It's in August! Let's talk about my birthday!"
He then proceeded to pull his ear piece out and said: "What? Sorry, you're breaking up!" before adding: "Nope, gone!" as he threw the device to one side.
Chris found the whole thing hilarious, but Phillip still tried his best to get his question in about the wedding rumours regarding Taika and Rita Ora.
"Shall I not ask about Rita?" Phil said as Holly remarked: "I think he can't hear us!"
"Regardless, she's gorgeous, we love her here, she's always a great guest and congratulations!" Phillip said as Taika saluted them before he and Chris were quickly taken off air.
This Morning viewers were left cringing at the whole interview and took to Twitter to comment.
One person posted: "Wow that whole interview was awks #ThisMorning."
Another tweeted: "That interview with @TaikaWaititi and @ChrisEvans was so awkward imagine ending it by trying to ask about Rita when they’re promoting a film, no wonder he pulled his ear piece out #ThisMorning."
Someone else joked: "Are these two actors being held at gunpoint to do this interview? Blink twice if you're there against your will #ThisMorning."
Earlier this month it was reported that Rita, 31, and film director Taika are apparently planning their wedding together, after both stars almost simultaneously popped the question to one another.
Engagement rumours have been circulating around the happy couple for some time now - with speculation the Thor director got down on one knee over Christmas at one point.
But it seems that wasn't the case, with pals of Rita claiming there was "no ring or big build-up" and the pair are planning a low-key wedding very soon to "formalise" their relationship.
The insider says the couple, who "couldn't be happier", will host a more glitzy showbiz bash to celebrate later in the year.
This Morning airs weekdays at 10am on ITV and ITV Hub.
