Alex Jones threatened to halt filming of The One Show on Thursday evening (July 20) after the confession of a guest reduced the studio to silence.
Co-hosts Alex and Roman Kemp were joined on the sofas by celebrity chef Tom Kerridge and comedian Adam Hills.
It was the latter whose comments stunned the pair, meanwhile, during a debate about the best flavour of ice cream.

It followed a more serious segment on the BBC programme, in which the group had discussed the subject of ice cream vans becoming more eco-friendly.
After Roman read out a tweet from a viewer who declared coffee flavour to be the best, The Last Leg star Adam duly agreed before adding the bizarre stipulation that it couldn’t be from an ice cream van.
With Alex and Roman confused, Adam asked: “Can I admit something?”
“Go on, an intrigued Alex responded.
“I don’t like soft serve…” continued Adam, resulting in Tom questioning, “What… how?”

With Roman looking dumbfounded too, Adam repeated his stance, before Alex interjected: “Adam, we are going to have to finish the programme that’s too much.”
Standing and heading off the set, Adam replied: “I’m sorry.”
Returning to his seat with the studio now in hysterics, he quipped: “The room went silent.”
One viewer certainly sided with the comic however, who tweeted the show: “I agree with Adam, soft scoop ice cream is horrible, rum and raisin for me!”
Another wasn’t so sure, however, asking: “@TheLastLeg #isitok that @adamhillscomedy does not like Mr Whippy and happy to admit on #TheOneShow.”
Fellow guest Tom clearly disagreed, meanwhile, as he went on to declare his love for a Mr Whippy.
“Mr Whippy with a flake on the top… and some of the bright blue raspberry sauce,” he enthused.
The One Show continues weekdays on BBC One at 7pm.
