Watch awkward moment Rylan is left speechless on live TV as co-host Emma Willis makes raunchy blunder
RYLAN Clark has left This Morning viewers in hysterics after he was rendered speechless thanks to his co-host Emma Willis.
The duo were on the ITV sofa together marking VE Day when Emma dropped a very unfortunate double entendre.
Emma and Rylan had been joined by Gyles Brandreth and Alison Phillips for a headlines review and they began to discuss the trend of “bear-backing”.
Getting himself off the hook at the first chance, Rylan began by saying: “I’m going to hand this over to The Willis, as I don’t want to get us taken off air.”
Emma, 49, continued: “Okay, it is called ‘bare-backing’ for Gen Z, where they travel without anything. So no backpacks, no digital devices.
“They do wear clothes. They’ve got to have something because if you’re getting on the train, how do you pay?”
Rylan, 36, said nothing and instead raised his eyebrows and tightly clutched a cup of tea in a Union Jack mug before taking a gulp.
Gyles, 77, told the group: “I began doing this a few years ago and I was called a ‘raw-dog’.”
The This Morning camera immediately flashed to Rylan’s exasperated face as he tilted his head to the side in dismay.
“You’re living life in the raw,” Gyles continued. “Getting back to reality. Putting away all the contraptions, devices, distractions. And just feeling the moment.”
Emma told Gyles: “I’ve heard of raw-dogging as well.”
To that, Rylan leant back in his seat and sighed as Emma glanced at her co-star and attempted to maintain her composure.
The amusing clip as now gone viral on social media, with almost 300,000 people liking it.
One person commented on Instagram: “Rylan’s broken the 5th wall- he looked to camera and just knew in this moment was going direct to instagram.”
Another added: “I love the way Emma Willis gives him a little extra stare, daring him to lose it .”
A third wrote: “That man had more composure in that 2 minute timeframe than I’ve had in my whole life .”
And a four even said: “Rylan babe, you did SO well Emma was having the TIME of her LIFE!”
A rep for condom giant Durex has even comment on the footage, posting: “I couldn’t keep a straight face .”
Rylan, meanwhile, has also acknowledged it.
He simply posted a ‘shrugging’ emoji, which has been liked almost 29,000 times.
One fan even suggested Rylan be put forward for an award of the highest order, saying: @Rylan your stiff upper lip here deserves an OBE.”
