A Good Morning Britain debate with between Piers Morgan and a man who wants to legally change his age was never going to end well.
But the presenter got more than he bargained for when 'age-fluid' guest Emile Ratelband made a rude comment on the early morning breakfast show this morning (November 12).
Speaking to Piers and Susanna Reid, he said: "If you are a small girl and now you are as beautiful as you are now and you say 'I feel like a man, I want to have a dick'," before hastily being interrupted by Piers halting him saying "whoa, woah, woah."
Piers later apologised for his language before continuing the debate with Emile.
The 69-year-old said he doesn't feel his age and legally wants to change it to 49 so he can work for longer and have better luck with women.
"12% of the people in Holland are over 60. In 20 years, more than 35% of the people will be over 60. If everybody can choose their own age, everybody has the decision to work as long he likes. He can do whatever he likes," he said.

When asked why he doesn't just tell people he's younger than he is, Emile answered: "I don't want to lie."
But he didn't seem impressed with how Piers and Susanna were taking his argument saying: "Are you open for my comments or listening like the lawyer and the judge?
"At first the judge was laughing but then I told him the serious side and he said 'You have a point. Maybe I want to be younger also'.
"It doesn't cost anything, I just bring more money to the government. I don't take my pension, I just pay more for 20 years."
Susanna ended the conversation saying: "Ageing is a blessing. Embrace it."
Good Morning Britain airs on weekdays from 6am on ITV.
