Rhino was being interviewed by Alex Jones and McFly's Harry Judd on Tuesday night's The One Show.

When Doc Martin star Martin was asked what his Gladiator name would be, he said: "Perhaps I should be called Spearmint."

Fans were in hysterics as Martin appeared to refer to famous strip club chain Spearmint Rhino.

One said: "What's your Gladiator name?"

Another said: "Love Martin Clunes - Alex and Harry totally missed the Spearmint gag!"

A third chimed in: "Spearmint '!!Totally over 'Rhino's' head."

Martin was on the show to discuss the final episode of Doc Martin on Christmas Day.

DOC Martin fans have been treated to the first look at Martin Clunes back in the titular role, just weeks after the show came to an end.

The ITV drama aired it's final episode at the end of October after 18 years, with the Doc deciding to stay in Portwenn rather than move to London after all.

Fans were gutted that the show was over, but were granted a reprieve as the cast will return for another episode this Christmas.

Sadly, their joy will be short lived, as the festive episode is a one-off, with no plans to make any further series once it's aired.

Despite this, the first look trailer got many excited, as the seaside town was full of festive fun.

That was until the grumpy GP - played by Martin - had the grotto closed down because he feared Santa had something contagious, upsetting the children, including his own son James (Elliott Blake).

The Doc Martin Christmas special will air on ITV1 on Christmas Day at 9.05 pm.
