Lorraine, 64, was proudly set to tell a "really bad" Christmas cracker joke as she gave her daily preview of her chat show.

She asked Ben and co-host Susanna Reid, 52: "Why does Santa have three gardens?"

Yet before she could get the punchline out, Ben quipped: "It's because he's got a hoe hoe hoe."

Lorraine was left stunned as she said: "You've ruined - I'll get my coat," - threatening to quit her show because of the interference in her joke.

Susanna, equally stunned, told Ben off and said: "It's not a quiz."

Referring to his other ITV show, she added: "You're not on Tipping Point."

Defending himself, Ben added: "You forgot to tell me it's not a quiz.

"I am proud of myself for getting it so quickly."

Lorraine then went on to re-tell the joke with no interruptions.

Meanwhile, Tipping Point's return date was recently revealed after fans fumed at the show's absence.
