However, as they played the clip back producers edited an even louder fart noise into the segment leaving Phil red-faced.

Ever the good sport, Phil laughed along but later on in the show the presenter got his own back.

What happened?

Bradley, 59, pretended to be a very strict dad called ‘Roger’ who was forcing his son to wear school uniform.

He also told the hosts he’s giving his son detentions and is demanding he’s called “Mr Smythe” at all times.

He revealed he’d taken his son on a school trip to the front room.

After a break, Phil revealed to a shocked Holly that Bradley and Barney were behind the call.

Bradley said: “We’re making a show from our shed and it was Barn’s idea to prank call you so that’s what we did,” as he did Roger’s voice.

He added: “I wondered if you had sussed it out at all because twice I called you Polly deliberately.”

Holly joked: “I’ll answer to anything!”
