Ruth Langsford collapsed into hysterical giggles over a cheeky quip while presenting her fashion range live on QVC this week.
The broadcaster, 65, was left speechless when co-host Jackie Kabler asked if she’d ever ‘done a thumbhole’ after inspecting the sleeve on a jumper.
Startled Ruth said: ‘I thought that was a joke then, no I have never done a thumbhole’ before the pair broke down into giggles.
Jackie tried to keep the show on the road, but Ruth was forced to turn her back to the camera as she wiped tears from her eyes.
The two continued repeating ‘thumbhole’ which only made matters worse with the Loose Women star left bent over in hysterics.
Finally things got so out of hand QVC’s Jackie send the show to a break while Ruth asked for a tissue to wipe away the mascara that was running down her cheeks.

Ruth’s madcap TV appearance comes after Daily Mail revealed how real life has kicked in for her ex Eamonn Holmes, 65, and girlfriend Katie Alexander, 43, after they had previously enjoyed lavish holidays including a cruise around the Mediterranean.
One friend suggested their romance is ‘struggling’ to Consultant Editor Katie Kind, saying: ‘Let’s just say the honeymoon period looks like it is very much at its end.’
They continued: ‘He’s grumpier than ever and his health problems [he has chronic back pain] really aren’t helping but, instead of moving closer to Katie and settling, he’s spending more time with his family in Belfast, often without her.
‘The lavish gifts and the swanky holidays don’t seem to have made him any happier
That sentiment was echoed by some of Eamonn’s colleagues at GB News, who describe him as ‘very, very moany’ – with one saying he’s ‘a miserable goat even on a good day’.
‘He goes into GB News in the morning, and he moans and moans,’ the colleague said.
‘It seems to be fizzling out for him. He is very low – the only thing that cheers him is going to work, he loves working.’
Daily Mail previously exclusively revealed that the broadcaster and father-of-four had had a terrible falling-out with Niall, 32, the youngest of his three children with first wife Gabrielle.

And more devastatingly, Niall has sided with his stepmother Ruth over his own father, following the couple’s split.
It’s also understood that Jack, 23, the son Eamonn and Ruth have together, has sided with his mother.
Eamonn is also father to son Declan, 36, and daughter Rebecca, 34, from his first marriage, and is believed to still be close with both of them.
Ruth and Eamonn announced a year ago that they were to part divorce after 27 years as a couple, and 14 years of marriage.
It was previously reported Eamonn and Katie were first in touch 12 years ago, when it’s claimed they exchanged flirty messages.
It’s suggested that, in the year before their split, Ruth learned Eamonn had been showering Katie with gifts.
However, both Eamonn and Katie, who was also married, insist nothing went on until both their marriages ended.
The fact they are still together is said to have ‘gone down like a lead balloon’ with Eamonn’s family.
