Presenting live television often comes with added pressures. It could be swearing, passers-by waving dildos, or corpsing - especially if it starts after a rather unfortunate accidental innuendo, as Susanna Reid and Dan Stevens found out on Thursday morning (September 4).

Former Downton Abbey star Stevens is asked a bit of a dodgy question by Reid in the video below.

At first, Good Morning Britain co-host Reid appears to have no idea why Stevens and some of the crew are laughing at her question about "beating off" other actors, and even asks it more than once.

Stevens then can't stop the giggles for a good 30 seconds or so, as Ben Shephard does a stellar job trying to move the interview along while Reid appears utterly confused.

To make it even better, Stevens later manages to sneak in a bonus gag about Ben Stiller not being able to "beat" him at QuizUp.

Question is - is Susanna Reid really that innocent, or did she secretly know what she was doing?

The British actor took the incident in good spirit, as his rather hilarious tweet proved:

Stevens will next be seen in the upcoming thriller The Guest, which will open in UK cinemas on September 5 and September 17 in the US. Watch a trailer below:
