Holly Willoughby laughed awkwardly on This Morning on Thursday after Alice Beer made a sly joke about her age.
The 41-year-old presenter was talking to the consumer reporter about plant-based milk.
When Alice, 57, gave her and Phillip Schofield different types of milk to try, she said, “Phil, you’re probably from the same generation as me who had the bottled milk at school.”

But Holly stepped in and said she had the milk bottles at school too.
Alice replied, ‘Did you have those bottles? Oh, well, you’re older than I thought.’
Holly burst out laughing and said “Oh no,” while Alice softened the blow by adding, “Love you.”

Holly’s reaction was a lot better than Tuesday’s, after Phillip unknowingly talked about her.
She was unimpressed when Phil, 60, came on the show during a serious talk on the 20th anniversary of the Bali bombings.
Polly Brooks MBE was in conversation with both hosts when the awkward moment occurred.
Holly said to survivor Polly, “Wow, god, and even at…” before Phillip intervened.

Holly then fell silent and watched as she tugged at the face as she got frustrated.
A body language expert has claimed that Holly felt “suppressed annoyance or irritation” by Phil’s actions.
Exclusive to MailOnline, Judi James said: “Holly’s body language response when Philip spoke of her in an interview was one that is familiar to anyone who has been interrupted by their partner at a social event or by a colleague at a business meeting.
“The official response is to smile and move on, but it seemed one interruption too much for Holly, whose facial expression suggested suppressed annoyance or irritation.

Judi continued: ‘She would never have been rude or unprofessional enough to roll her eyes up, but they fell down when Philip came in with his own question, just like she asked her own.
It was an emotional interview and Holly would have done well to work in a double TV act, which is to make an intentional or announcement gesture before speaking to avoid crosstalk.
She had a hand partially raised, but it seems Philip was only too happy to answer his question, and after the pensive drop of her eyes, Holly also pursed her lips to indicate a degree of displeasure.
One viewer shared the clip on TikTok, captioning it: “Holly’s eye rolls when Phil cuts her off.”
One fan wrote in the comment section, “Holly doesn’t seem impressed,” while another said, “Ha that look says it all.”
One fan shot Phillip in defense by writing, “He was probably told to say his lines in his earmold as they normally are.”

They seem to be continuing with the recent “queue” controversy, where Holly and Phil were accused of skipping the line to see the Queen in state.
Holly and Phil have been the subject of online abuse in the wake of the claims, and a petition to have the duo fired from their lucrative presentation roles has reached more than 75,000 signatures in just over a week.
Ofcom has reportedly received a series of complaints about the queue as smoking viewers reached out to the mainstream to demand the pair apologize.
According to the mirrorOfcom received 55 complaints this week, while 209 complaints were filed the week before.
The weeks-long fallout from the incident — which spawned hundreds of jokes online at their expense — has sparked rival briefing wars, with relations between the presenters now strained.
Holly is also believed to be unhappy that ITV didn’t step in to support her sooner, and there has been speculation – since denied – that she could be leaving the show.
After being spotted on the official camera feed at the venue, the pair said they were there to shoot a segment for This Morning’s show, which was set to air four days later.
No TV crews were allowed in other than the official feed.
