Holly Willoughby has awkward on-air 'gimp' blunder
This Morning’s Holly Willoughby was left giggling and red-faced after David Domoney revealed he was going to explore Poison Garden in Alnwick and the “gimpy” plant.
During the link to David where he was outside the gates of the garden, he explained: “The gimpy gimpy plant and apparently if you touch this and get stung.
“It feels like a swarm of wasps have stung you, acid is on your arm and then you have been electrocuted all at the same time.
“I am going to be going in there to take a look at some of these poisonous plants and looking at the gimpy gimpy plant at the same time.”
During his explanation, Holly was seen giggling alongside Criag at the name of the plant and had to confirm: “Can I just double-check something?

“How are you spelling the name of that plant, I thought I heard the name of it but I wasn’t quite sure, did you call it the… I don’t know if I can say it, what was it called?”
David said: “Gimpy plant, gimpy gimpy plant,” and began to spell it out but Holly interjected: “That’s what I thought, we’ve got it, we’ve got it, we’ve got it.”
Giving some more information on the plant, David continued: “In Australia it’s called the stinging tree as it’s known.”
Holly joked: “That’s better, go with that,” as Craig teased: “That explains the gimpy gimpy suit your wearing.”
