Jamie Theakston was in for a bit of a surprise this morning when his usual co-host, Amanda Holden, who's currently on a break from the Heart FM Breakfast show, gave the studio an unexpected call.
Amanda, who is currently off filming a new Netflix series, joined in for a lively chat with her stand-in, Davina McCall, leaving Jamie a tad exasperated as the two telly icons and pals bantered live on air, poking fun at how Jamie supposedly disturbs his family's sleep with his early morning routine.
Interrupting the friendly exchange, Jamie joked: "Alright, this is turning into like my worst nightmare. Is Davina allowed to use your mug, Amanda? That was the question."
Amanda's response was warm and inviting: "Of course she can use my mug - anything she wants. She must treat it like it's her own home there."

Previously, on June 6, Amanda had announced that Davina would be filling in for her while she's away shooting Cheaters: Unfinished Business in Mallorca, describing her as "wonderful and hugely talented".
Amanda is buzzing with excitement as she takes a brief hiatus from her Heart radio gig to film her latest Netflix series in sunny Mallorca. She gushed on Instagram: "So thrilled the wonderful and hugely talented @davinamccall will be keeping my @thisisheart seat warm for 2 wks while I film my @netflix show in Mallorca."
Listeners of Heart have been quick to sing Davina McCall's praises, who's filling in during Amanda's absence. The fitness guru and former Big Brother host has been winning hearts with her charm and presenting prowess on the morning programme.
Davina, set to co-host with Jamie Theakston from 6:30 am to 10 am until Amanda's return on June 24, shared her own excitement: "I'm so excited to be stepping in for Amanda to guest host Heart Breakfast."
She continued: "I've known Jamie for forever, so this isn't going to be like work, more like a two-week playdate! I love listening to Heart, on the train, at home, anywhere, really! " She's also looking forward to spinning some top tunes, saying: "I can't wait to get into the Heart studios and play all the best feel-good music for you all!"
When she's not on air, Davina keeps busy with her weekly podcast 'Making The Cut', which she hosts alongside her beau, Michael Douglas, and has co-authored a book with Dr Naomi Potter called 'Menopausing'.
Meanwhile, Amanda's upcoming Netflix venture, Cheaters: Unfinished Business, promises drama as it throws exes together in a ten-bedroom villa to confront the infidelities that shattered their relationships.
