The show showed a segment on a Wimbledon competition before switching back to the studio.
And Ben, 42, was quick to compliment Laura, 35.
He said: “Laura’s dressed for Wimbledon today, look at you in your beautiful floral outfit with your bump.”
Talking about the sport Laura said: “I can’t play anyway – so it’s a good excuse not to do any exercise.”
Ben then took it a step further. Cue the crude joke..
He said: “You’ll be playing swingball like you always do – isn’t that how we got into this situation,” as he burst into laughter.
“I said that out loud, I shouldn’t have said that out loud,” he quickly added.
Laura, who is expecting her first child, wrote on Twitter following the hilarious joke saying: “Swingball @benshephard Ha ha. It wasn’t tennis!”
To which Ben replied: “Haha really didn’t mean to say that out loud!! Honest.”
