This Morning viewers were torn between being charmed and horrified as actor Nigel Havers flirted with presenter Holly Willoughby on live television.
The actor, 65, asked Holly, 36, if she fancied “a spot of lunch” on Tuesday after switching interview roles with her on the ITV show.
Co-presenter Phillip Schofield chimed in: “Are you chatting her up? You can’t chat up the guests!
'This feels really weird!'

“It’s unacceptable…you smoothy.”
Nigel, star of 1980s TV drama The Charmer, appeared relaxed and confident as he teased Holly from the interviewers’ side of the sofa.
Some viewers couldn’t help but be taken in by his smooth moves.
@thismorning Nigel Havers – a definite charmer! (reminiscent of Oliver Reed!)
