Children can always be relied upon to embarrass you in the most awkward situations - something which Jason Manford knows only too well.
The comedian recalled a story on Wednesday’s (12 April) ‘The Nightly Show’ which left us cringing on his behalf - mainly because it involved his daughter uttering the phrase “ball massage”.
We’ll let Jason take it from here:
“Recently on a holiday with my kids, we went to a little shop and my daughter, she’s seven, bought a bouncy ball. A big thing with lights in it.
“She was rubbing it into my shoulder in the afternoon – I’ve got a bit of a dodgy shoulder – and it sort of released something in my shoulder.
“I said, ‘Oh God, that feels really nice.’ It lasted about 30 seconds and we thought no more of it until that evening.
“We were in a restaurant and the waiter said, ‘Are you having a nice time on holiday?’
“My daughter, top of her voice in the middle of a busy restaurant went, ‘I gave my daddy a ball massage!’”
Cringing, he added: “We’ll just have the bill please mate.”
Excuse us while we just uncurl our toes.
Jason’s guest stint as host of ‘The Nightly Show’ has been well-received by viewers after he made his debut on Monday.
The show - which has also been fronted by the likes of David Walliams, Davina McCall and Gordon Ramsay - has been slated by critics and suffered low ratings.
Amanda Holden was the latest person to slate the programme, claiming she and ‘Britain’s Got Talent’ co-star Alesha Dixon could have made it a hit.
‘The Nightly Show’ airs weeknights at 10pm on ITV.
Throughout his tenure on 'Never Mind The Buzzcocks', Simon sent up whichever stars crossed his path, no matter how high-profile, and while he's devoted himself to writing and stand-up in recent years, he'd be the perfect if ITV want to bring a bit of edge to series two of 'The Nightly Show'.
A singer like Lily Allen would be a great celeb to take a chance on for five nights of 'The Nightly Show', especially as she's got no qualms about speaking her opinion, no matter the topic.
Even if they deliver a joke that doesn't land, the two somehow manage to pull it off, which 'The Nightly Show' could definitely have done with during its first run.
Mel and Sue were among the initial rumoured guest hosts of the ITV topical show, but ultimately couldn't make it work due to 'scheduling conflicts', so let's hope they can get their diaries straight second time around.
The unlikely duo are able to brighten up even the drabbest of mornings, and given Rylan's already got late-night talk show experience, we think having Alison at his side could only make him even stronger.
True, we can't exactly imagine them lampooning the political news of the day or giving a serious piece to camera, but you know there'd be laughs aplenty (which were arguably lacking from the first series).
While Alesha's presenting history might be a bit ropey, we'd put that down to the quality of shows like 'Dance Dance Dance' and 'Your Face Looks Familiar' rather than her own abilities as a TV personality.
Watching her in interviews, Alesha is constantly chatty, articulate and opinionated, and we can imagine her being a great host if she had the chance.
While their co-presenting efforts are mostly restrained to awards shows, we do think they'd bring a young edge to 'The Nightly Show'.
Whenever Miriam makes a talk show appearance (usually 'The Graham Norton Show'), it is always a riot, so there would be guaranteed laughs.
The 'Mighty Boosh' star's sense of humour isn't for everyone, but given that 'The Nightly Show' wasn't exactly pulling in viewers in their droves, why not take a risk and go with someone as left-field as Noel?
Plus, he's about to bag a whole load of new fans, thanks to his upcoming stint on 'Great British Bake Off'.
With stars like Michaela - who's already proved her writing chops in the past two series of 'Chewing Gum', as well as her delivery - that risk is eliminated.
Plus, 'The Nightly Show' could potentially be a great place to showcase rising stars in the comedy world, rather than just already-established names.
We reckon Will's unique outlook would definitely make for an interesting spin on the week's big news stories, though admittedly the jury's out on how well he'd manage steering an interview.
Give her a week on 'The Nightly Show', and we reckon Joanna could truly shine - she's hilarious, she's informed and she's not afraid to get stuck in.
Given the right platform, we think the always-opinionated TV personality could really offer a fresh take on the week's news, and if the BBC were willing to loosen those golden handcuffs of theirs for just five nights, 'The Nightly Show' could be the place for him to do it.
