Vernon Kay admitted he was left “tipsy” after a boozy segment on This Morning, ahead of another drinks-filled section of the ITV daytime show.
The 47-year-old presenter, who is standing in for Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield during the Easter break alongside Josie Gibson, made the admission at the start of Wednesday’s show.
The T4 presenter said he had been left “tipsy” at the end of Tuesday’s show after the pair were tasked with trying a range of hot cross bun flavoured drinks in the lead-up to Easter.
Josie and Vernon were tasked with another boozy segment, with an Easter cocktail hour on Wednesday's show, as they were shown a dazzling line-up of chocolatey cocktails.
As Vernon ran down the schedule for Wednesday, they got a glimpse of the mini-egg martinis, chocolate orange and rum cocktails as well as chocolate stout.
Josie laughed as she said: “Wow that looks good."
Vernon then said: "I thought I was tipsy after yesterday's show with the hot cross bun beer, but just you wait until later."
He then turned to the camera to say: "Tess, I’m getting in and going straight to bed.”
This comes after Vernon took a cheeky swipe at This Morning producers during Tuesday’s show for guilt-tripping him into going to the gym by inviting hunky guests on the show.
The 47-year-old was reduced to giggles by a topless snap of guest Alessandro Cinquini.
The Italian hunk appeared on the programme remotely from Florida alongside girlfriend Nicole Hayden to open up about their experiences of catfishing online.
After Nicole told the TV presenters how she had started dating Alessandro after being 'catfished' with his photos by a stranger, Alessandro detailed having his identity stolen for the purpose.
As This Morning showed ITV viewers Alessandro’s beach snap in the middle of the conversation, Josie quipped: “No wonder you were clicking Nicole. That is a lovely picture.”
Meanwhile, Vernon was equally awed by the “100 percent Italian” fitness fanatic, particularly after he gushed over a shirtless Dr Scott on Monday’s programme.
He said: “Two days in a row! Dr Scott yesterday and now this. I’m just floored by blokes with huge tremendous rigs.
“Look at this guy. This is subliminal. Alright, I’m going to go to the gym. I get it This Morning. Crikey.”
The TV presenter could not help but swoon over the TV doctor, as he presented a segment from a beach in Costa Rica, wearing just a pair of swimming trunks on Monday's show.
Vernon said: “Look at this guy, phwoar, bring it on. Forget the crocodiles. Forget the crocodiles it's all about the pectorals. Goodness gracious me!”
This Morning airs weekdays at 10am on ITV and ITV Hub.
