This Morning’s Matthew Wright could have his ponytail chopped off live on the ITV programme.
Matthew, 55, was on the show discussing the weekend’s headlines with hosts Phillip Schofield and Rochelle Humes.
During the chat, talk turned to a recent study that was conducted which found that “women who wear too much make-up are seen as less intelligent by both sexes, and more likely to have casual sex”.
Fellow guest Camilla Tominey made a cheeky dig about Matthew’s hair as she exclaimed: “Are you going to wear extra make-up with that ponytail?”
Phillip quickly jumped in: “The ponytail has released the floodgates, hang on a minute!”

Rochelle had never noticed the ponytail and told Matthew to turn his head so she could see it.
Phil said: “Oh you’ve only just noticed that? The rat tail!”
Matthew said he would chop it off for a good cause as Phil replied: “Oh listen, I’ll come up with one straight away!”
Camilla added: “How about the Duke of Edinburgh Awards?”, to which Phil said: “What a good idea! For the Duke go Edinburgh Awards we cut it off… next week.”

The show then conducted a poll and asked viewers if Matt should have it cut off live on air, to which 91% voted yes.
Earlier in the show, Phil and Matthew clashed over being cautious after lockdown restrictions relaxed recently.
They disagreed while discussing the pubs reopening across England for the first time in months last week.

During the segment which also featured co-host Rochelle Humes and guest Camilla Tominey, Matthew said that although it was nice to be normal, “what about the risk of the virus?”
Phil said that “all of the vulnerable people have been vaccinated” as he pointed out the number of people who suffered from mental health issues amid the pandemic.
Schofield added: “And for a weekend you get anxious about the fact there’s a new variant and what it’s going to do.
“Then you look at the news today and it says it’s not a great cause for concern.
“You think ‘how dare you frighten me for another weekend?'”.
Later, Matthew said: “The unvaccinated population anywhere on the planet could be the source of a nasty variant…”
Phil hit back: “You’re the sort of person that I shout at over the weekend!”
This Morning airs weekdays at 10am on ITV.
