Rochelle warns This Morning team over nudity segment
During the lively start to Friday's This Morning, Rochelle Humes didn't hesitate to issue a direct warning to the crew over the coverage of Rylan Clark's daring new dating series.
As she and her co-host Joel Dommett briefed viewers on the day's segments, they touched upon the risque upcoming show featuring entirely naked contestants on the quest for romance.
Joel quipped, "Trust us, it leaves very little to the imagination."
When a subtly censored teaser was aired, Rochelle revealed the behind-the-scenes scramble to ensure no indecent exposures slipped through, urging, "I mean, we are covering this on daytime television so the team have been blurring clips of that show all morning."
Sympathising with the staff's meticulous vigilance was Joel, acknowledging their need for heightened precision, reports the Mirror.

Rochelle then gave a light-hearted yet stern reminder to the powers-that-be, saying, "He's not on until a little bit later so just check them again guys, check them again. Make sure we've not missed anything ok? no bits!"
Her words were accompanied by laughter, but the message was clear; inadvertent nudity is not on the agenda.
Joel chimed in with comedic support: "We don't want any bits slipping out."
Rylan's newest venture entitled Dating Naked UK promises to serve up a blend of sun, sea, and skin with 10 single contestants shedding their clothing to find love under tropical skies.
During the segment, the hosts shared that Joel's mum Penny would be joining the show later to offer viewers gardening advice. Rochelle explained that Penny would provide tips and tricks to ensure everyone's gardens are in top shape.
However, this announcement was met with a lukewarm reception from fans, who pointed out that the presenter's wife had also been featured on Thursday's programme.
One viewer expressed their disbelief, commenting: "Joel's mum? ! Are you f***ing kidding me!?".
Another fan took to Twitter, exasperatedly posting: "So we've had Joel's mum, Joel's wife. What next? His b***dy baby?"
A different viewer questioned the family features, saying: "Joel's wife yesterday and today it's his mum...........why?".
Mocking the situation, another tweeted: "My mum's a good gardener too, can she have her own segment on the show?".
And yet another viewer remarked: "Joel's mum.. they must be dreadfully short of guests."
This Morning continues weekdays on ITV from 10am.
