Mischievous Phillip Schofield had fellow This Morning host Holly Willoughby in giggles after swearing on the show.
Befuddled by money-saving expert Martin Lewis’ advice on lifetime ISAs, Phil seemed to entertain himself with a silly rhyme that included the German word for ‘something beginning with ‘s’ that rhymes with ‘twit’!
“ISA, LISA… Scheisse,” he intoned, after Martin revealed he was about to move on to explaining the saving scheme’s more complicated details.
Martin allowed himself a brief chuckle before soldiering on with his report – but Holly was unable to stop herself from aiming a smirk into the camera.

However, Martin later hit back on Twitter after he came under attack from viewers who thought he had been terse with an elderly caller.
The caller had asked whether it was possible to avoid mobile banking and Martin had tried to explain the benefits of banking online but viewers felt he had been dismissive.
I’m very upset you feel I came across that way. I was trying to explain that I don’t feel there is a security risk. However I was also clear it is her decision and presented other options

That’s very unfair. I said I disagreed over her safety concerns but that’s she’s entitled to workI then explained other options and said I’d bring her more
