As the pair chatted about his eight-year-old twin boys, Matteo and Valentino, who were born via surrogate in 2008, Ricky couldn't hide his pride in being a father to his sons.

He said: "They are amazing, I’m such a proud papa.

"They travel with me everywhere. They are doing some sightseeing [today]."

As the live link headed back to the studio, June Sarpong blurted out: "You have got the boys with you, have you got any plans for any more do you think?"

The question left the 44-year-old stunned for a moment, before he opened his mouth wide in mock shock and joked: "After the twins I was traumatised…no only kidding."

But things took an even more toe-curling turn when Janet Street-Porter piped up, saying: "You’ve got Linda there, she might be a surrogate."

As Linda and Ricky laughed, he replied: "Lets do it, lets do this.

Ricky, who came out as gay in 2010, replied: "I thought it was going to be harder. My kids were born on the road.

"Every time we spend more than 4 days in the same city they say 'OK dad what’s next? We’re ready.'

"What’s normal is relative, they are happy and they are healthy.

"People say, 'but Ricky they need stability' but I’m their stability, if I’m around they’ll be fine, they feel protected. If I’m not around they feel weird.

"I’m very lucky to have very supportive grandparents who are doing an incredible job."

To end the interview, Linda gave Ricky a packet of Hobnob biscuits, a Loose Women mug and a framed picture of herself.

The cheeky panellist then managed to get a big hug out of Ricky before they kissed each other on the cheek, to the delight of the rest of the panellists and the audience in the studio.
