Watch: Brit Talk Show Host Fluffs Meaning of 'Fluffer' in Interview with Out 'Bridgerton' Star Jonathan Bailey

READ TIME: 2 MIN.

British talk show host Lorraine Kelly made a hilarious fluff involving the meaning of the term 'fluffer' this week that left everyone laughing.

During an interview with "Bridgerton" star Jonathan Bailey, she asked about a pic of him being prepared for a risque scene from the trending Netflix series in which a makeup artist is working on his bare bottom.

"Now that's got to be one of the best jobs in the world," Lorraine observed. "That's a wee lady who is, I think they call it fluffing? Is that what they do?"

"In the porn industry," the Independent writes in reporting on the incident, "a 'fluffer' is the name given to a person who is responsible for helping on-screen performers maintain an erection between takes."

"Well I don't know what they call it, Lorraine," Bailey responded. "I think it's called ice-breaking, isn't it?"

She later laughingly admitted her mistake in an interview with with showbiz correspondent Ross King, the Metro reports. "You know I was talking to the lovely Jonathan from Bridgerton and I said, you know when he was getting his bottom made up, I said, "is that a fluffer?" and I've just realised what a fluffer is and it's not that,' she said.

Ross responded: "Well done. I didn't want to point that one out. It's close-ish, but it's definitely something different."

"My phone is going nuts!" Lorraine responded laughing. "Oh jheeze, I'm sorry."
