Did you not...""Barry in my ear, you know!," he added.The Loose Women panellist then placed the toy snake on a stunned Rylan's shoulder as he held his mouth and said: "See if I had my old set of teeth..."Processing what had happened, Rylan began pointing at those behind the camera and exclaimed: "I sat you all down this morning and I said 'Do not do it on air because the words that's my new fault is not daytime'."A giggling Ruth responded: "Oh I know I was worried about that but I thought 'I'm going to go for it anyway'.""Can you read this while I go and have a small stroke over in the corner," asked Rylan as he held his chest.As Ruth began introducing Phil Vickery cooking on a beach in Grenada, Rylan said: "Good for him, I'm out," before walking off set.Viewers found the encounter hilarious and were straight on social media to demand the pair present.
