As Eamonn reacted to new research findings which suggests breakups occur most August, his wife surprised him with her cheeky quip.

When Eamonn said: "People getting on your..."

Ruth replied with rhyming slang: ";Thrupenny bits".

Eamonn's eyes widened and he jumped in shock to the comment as he said: "You can't say that."

Eamonn held back his giggles as he said: "Before Ofcom report us I'd like to apologise to any children watching for old potty mouth Langsford there!"

Ruth began to laugh as she said: "Am I allowed to say that? I just realised what it means."

"Thrupenny bits" is Cockney rhyming slang for "t**s", hence Eamonn's shocked reaction.
With Ruth still giggling, Eamonn then threw the show over to a property expert joining them on video link from New York to carry on with the show.

This Morning continues airs weekdays at 10.30am on ITV.
