Cat Deeley left co-host Ben Shephard lost for words as she cheekily swore at him off-air during This Morning’s VE Day 80th anniversary segment.
During Thursday’s instalment of the ITV show, Ben and Cat were joined by British Army musicians to commemorate VE Day’s 80th anniversary across the country.
Victory in Europe Day marks the end of the Second World War in Europe on May 8, 1945, when the Allies accepted the surrender of Nazi Germany.
Four days of celebrations, which have been organised by the government, began on Monday and will run until Thursday.
So, to mark the anniversary, Cat, 48, wore a tall bearskin hat and played the trumpet alongside the musicians.
However, once she noticed her co-host sneakily taking pictures of her, Cat stuck two fingers up at him, all the while continuing to play the trumpet.

Taking to his Instagram Story to share the hilarious snap, Ben, 50, captioned the post with: ‘Am sure that’s a victory sign right?? (shocked and laughing emoji) @catdeeley.’
To commemorate 80 years since VE Day, historic landmarks across the UK have been lit up in red, white and blue.
A total of 83 monuments, buildings and attractions in the four nations and the Channel Islands have been covered in colour.
Key sites that glowed on Tuesday night were Buckingham Palace and the Millennium Bridge.
Historic castles such as Enniskillen Castle in Northern Ireland will also bask in red, white and blue lights.
Earlier on Tuesday, in a touching tribute, 30,000 ceramic poppies were installed at the Tower of London.
The poppies have been set to resemble a wound to reflect the long-lasting sacrifices made during the war.
On Monday, the nation fell silent as the clocks struck midday, Hollywood star Timothy Spall then recited extracts of Winston Churchill’s rousing and inspirational VE Day Victory speech in 1945.

Thousands of people lined the streets of central London as a military procession of 1,300 members of the armed forces passed through the capital.
The iconic Red Arrows also delighted crowds with a stunning display, leading an RAF flypast.
At a Buckingham Palace tea party, veterans of the Second World War, aged from 89 to 104, met the King.
British and Commonwealth armed forces veterans from the Royal Navy, the British Army and the Royal Air Force, plus Wrens, Special Operations Executives, D-Day veterans and Desert Rats are among those who attended the tea party with Charles and other members of the royal family.
They were joined by veterans who are still in active conflict in other parts of the world after VE Day.
And people who contributed to the war effort on the home front, plus their families and carers.
Evacuees are also among some of the other 20 Second World War generation guests who attended.
A service at Westminster Abbey will begin with a national two-minute silence of reflection and remembrance on Thursday, where veterans will be part of the congregation.
Horse Guards Parade will then hold a live celebratory concert to round off the commemorations.
