But as talk turned to one of his favourite pastimes, his vineyard, Sam got a little overexcited.

He said: "That’s what I do when I’m not doing my day job."

Phillip commented: "What a lovely time to relax, out in the vineyards," to which Sam replied: "Yes half p****d".

Sam has owned his vineyards since 1993, and now has four plots where he produces Pinot Noir.

Phillip and Holly - who have made no secret of their love of a drink or two during their time together on the show - were quick to agree at just how nice that type of wine is.
