This Morning host Phillip Schofield has been mocked by viewers, after using the “worst chat up line” on Joseph Denison Carey.
The 22-year-old chef appeared on the ITV programme earlier today (October 25) to make his traditional spaghetti bolognese.
Ahead of the demonstration, Phillip and co-host Holly Willoughby sat down with Joseph for a quick chat.

Joseph explained that he only uses basic ingredients in the Italian dish.
He said: “I take out the things that do not belong there, like peas and garlic.”
Phillip, 59, asked: “What have you got against peas? Have you ever had a pea sandwich?”

Joseph appeared disgusted over Phillip’s remark, replying: “How do you keep it all in?”
The presenter then said: “Sometimes it falls out, but it’s got to be with white bread and proper butter.
“Best thing ever… believe me. You’ll thank me for it!”
How did This Morning viewers react?
Phillip’s comment didn’t go unnoticed with viewers at home.
Taking to Twitter, one said: “Phil using his worst chat-up line on Joseph: Have you heard of a pea sandwich? You’ll thank me for it!”
Another said: “#ThisMorning A pea sandwich? I’m disgusted, you filthy animal.”
