HOLLY Willoughby and Phillip Schofield were left shocked today after they realised This Morning had named Debbie McGee’s Dallas segment after the infamous porn film Debbie Does Dallas.
Paul Daniels’ widow Debbie, 59, has been sent to Dallas by the show to present a competition section named after the film, which also celebrates the 40th anniversary of TV series Dallas.
Introducing the slot Phil gasped: “Debbie McGee is in Dallas – Debbie Does Dallas!”
A speechless Holly laughed: “Yes she does! She actually does…”
As stunned Phil said: “Here she is… well there’s a surprise!”
They then cut to a VT of Debbie riding a horse in Dallas and giving viewers the opportunity to win £250,000.
Debbie Does Dallas is a well-known porn film made in 1978. It stars Bambi Woods and features a team of cheerleaders trying to earn enough money to send Debbie to try out for the Dallas Cowgirls cheerleading squad – and viewers were left chuckling at the cheeky joke.
One tweeted: “WOh Jesus @Schofe #DebbieDoesDallas @DebbieMcGeeUK you naughty boy #ThisMorning @thismorning”
Another added: “Ooooooooooooooo 'Debbie Does Dallas'
“????????????????????????????????????????????
“What has @Schofe been up to the weekend? ???? #ThisMorning”
And a third posted: “Finally! Debbie Does Dallas!! Hahahahaha #ThisMorning”
Meanwhile Phil’s former co-presenter Fern Briton has denied she and Phillip parted company after rumours of him being paid more for their other show All Star Mr & Mrs.
Fern told Hello! magazine: “That certainly wasn’t true, not least because I had no idea what Phillip had been paid.
"I knew what I was being paid and it was more than fair.

"It is appalling that, if you are doing the same job as a man, you are paid less and I am absolutely all for equal pay but at the time, even if Phillip had been paid more than me, he was doing more programmes on television.
"It is wrong for someone else to be paid more than you are for the same job.
"But it's terribly important to find out where your 'enough' is because everybody's different and I was very happy with my 'enough'."
