This Morning's guest host Christine Bleakley almost turned the same colour as her turtle neck when Matt Di Angelo decided to describe what he wore to "protect his modesty" during the steamy scenes in his new series.

The former EastEnders star is appearing in BBC One's Ordinary Lies, and admitted to presenters Christine and Phillip Schofield that he stole his penis protector prop (for want of a better term).

We hope he gave it a rinse first...

"There are a couple of steamy scenes," Matt explained. "And when you do sex things, you're stark naked, so there's things to preserve your modesty, and every costume department has something different."

Referring to a previous TV sex scene, he continued casually: "They have given me a triangular piece of cloth before and some glue, so I turned up to a castle with a massive triangular piece of silk to cover myself."

Notice Matt dropping the "massive" before the triangular there...

Revealing what he had to wear for Ordinary Lies, he blurted: "A silk shower hat with a string!

"Yes, I took it home and I sent a picture to my girlfriend because it was hilarious and so strange."

The Danny Brocklehurst drama, which returns for a second series tonight (October 18), follows an ordinary group of colleagues and friends whose seemingly small lies spiral out of control.

Matt stars as Fletcher, who has been lied to by his family about the identity of his real father.

"Fletcher's one [episode] is different - it's family members who are keeping secrets from him," Matt continued. "His episode is more reactional (sic) - his mum has confided in his wife about who his father is, and his wife decides to tell him.

"Everyone has been keeping it from him."

Ordinary Lies returns to BBC One at 9pm tonight, while This Morning airs weekdays at 10.30am on ITV.
