Lorraine Kelly fluffed her lines to hilarious effect during today's (January 5) interview with Bridgerton actor Jonathan Bailey – and it all got rather NSFW, so consider yourself warned...

Discussing his very first day on the set of the Netflix drama, Jonathan was shown a behind-the-scenes snap from when a crew member applied make-up to his naked bum for a shot.

"Now that's got to be one of the best jobs in the world, that's a wee lady who is sort of... I think they call it 'fluffing', is that what they do?" queried Lorraine.

"Well I don't know what they call it, Lorraine. I think it's called ice-breaking, isn't it?" Jonathan went on to joke.

However, the Scottish TV star couldn't have been further from the truth, as you'll find through a quick online search. And yes, it's *very* adult.

Apparently, a 'fluffer' is someone specifically employed to keep a pornstar's penis erect on set.

She made light of her naughty blunder later on in the show, confessing through laughter: "I've just realised what a fluffer is... and it's not that! My phone's gone nuts!"

As you'd expect, viewers tuning into today's episode quickly cottoned on, as one tweeted: "re Bridgerton this morning on your show, you need to look up the word "fluffer"!! Made me spit my cereal out!"

It's not even midday...

Lorraine airs weekdays on ITV.
