PHILLIP Schofield had This Morning viewers in hysterics after he labelled Jamie Oliver a "filthy pervert" for wanting to put salad in a Cornish pasty.

The Essex chef, 44, appeared on the ITV programme to show viewers how to replace meat in classic dishes with vegetables.

However, one suggestion was too far for Schofield, 57, who was not keen on the idea of salad included in a pasty.

Jamie said to the host: "If you open up a little pocket and shove that salad in there, I'm telling you, add a bit of mustard."

Before Phillip cut him off: "Salad in a pasty! You filthy pervert!"

Fans were in hysterics at Phil's outburst, with one person writing: "Phillip calling Jamie Oliver a filthy pervert is the best thing I've ever heard #ThisMorning."

Another said: "Well said Phil #FilthyPervert #ThisMorning."

A third added: "Salad in a pasty!? You filthy pervert @Schofe that absolutely made my morning #thismorning".

With or without salad, the pasties seemed to go down with both Phillip and co-host Holly Willoughby, 38.

This wasn't the only outburst from the hosts on the show today as Holly screamed while walking a plank in a VR game.

The presenter tested out a VR game in which she was taken up a lift, before having to walk the plank in the sky and retrieve a doughnut at the end.

As soon as she stepped on the plank, she began to scream - something which Phillip, who was watching from the sidelines, found very funny.

A stressed out Holly told her co-host to "shut up".
