Larry Emdur Walks Off After On-Air Blunder

's walked off The Morning Show set on Tuesday after making an embarrassing on-air blunder.

The famously cheeky Gold Logie winner, 61, was interviewing Jessica Mauboy about her new beauty line, Desert Rose, when he made a joke about 'four skins'.

Realising quickly that his words could be misunderstood as referring to a certain part of the male anatomy, Larry tried to recover as Mauboy and co-host fell about laughing.

'We're so lucky we work in television, we've got four skins,' Larry said, after previewing the Desert Skin advert featuring Mauboy.

He then blurted out: 'Five skins. Three skins. Do you know what I mean, layers?'

After an awkward pause, Larry tried to recover his composure by asking Jessica to get through the segment with a song, but the Australian Idol coach could not get the words out because she was laughing too hard.

Kylie stepped in to try and save the moment with a quick Idol promo, before joking: 'And you're never, ever going to see Larry Emdur ever again.'

As Kylie signed off, Larry raced from the couch, trying to control a fit of embarrassed laughter.

Taking to his Instagram, Larry apologised to Jessica over his minced words. 

'I may have just been cancelled,' he joked.

'Probably my last show. I swear this was an accident. I didn't realise I said anything wrong till I felt Kylie Gillies eyes burn a hole in my face. Luckily I have more than one skin. O.M.G I'm soooo sorry Jessica - I luv uuuuu.'

Larry's fans were quick to appreciate the humour in the situation.

'I've watched this so many times it gets better each time,' a follower write on Larry's post, while another wrote: 'Trying to change the number made it even funnier. Love you Larry!'

A third person said: 'Sometimes you just can't take LARRY SERIOUSLY. He is  fantastic and hilarious. Larry and Kylie, they both make you laugh.'
