Phillip Schofield has threatened to perform a vasectomy on Holly Willougby's husband.
The 'This Morning' presenter has warned his co-host's husband Daniel Baldwin not to get her pregnant again as he misses her too much when she's on maternity leave.
Speaking about her return to the ITV show next month, Phil said: "And she's not having any more babies ... I've told her husband Dan that if he ever falls asleep anywhere near me I'll give him the snip myself."
However, Holly - who has children Harry, six, Belle, four, and five-month-old Chester with Dan - confessed she would consider having another.
She said: "Never say never."
Amanda Holden and Christine Bleakley replaced Holly during her absence and while Phil enjoyed working with them both, he's confessed he's not sure he'd remain on the show if the blonde beauty quit for good.
He told the Daily Mail newspaper: "If she'd decided not to come back I'd have had to rethink my own position. If Holly had said, 'I'm going', I'd have had to think seriously about whether I wanted to go on."

Tom Bradby tried to save a man who committed suicide.
The ITV journalist took to his Twitter account yesterday (16.08.15) to reveal he'd jumped into a Greek harbour in an attempt to save an old man who tragically killed himself.
He wrote: "Just watched an elderly man commit suicide in Greece by driving his car off the harbour wall in Rafina.
"Dived in, tried to help, couldn't get him out. Completely shocking."
The 'Agenda' host - who is on holiday with his family - claimed that although a number of police officers and other law enforcement agents witnessed the incident, he was one of few people who tried to help the man.
Tom, 48, added: "Of the 9 or 10 customs officials and police on the quay only 1 went in to try and get him out as the car sank. The rest watched. Jesus...
"Am shaking with shock and anger. So much for the Greek holiday trade being business as usual."
The Rafina Port Authority in Greece has confirmed a man died after his car went off the wall and while a spokeswoman said the incident took place at around 4.30pm local time, she refused to give any further details.

Cilla Black tried to have her life turned into a West End show before she died.
The legendary entertainer, who passed away earlier this month aged 72, held meetings with senior theatre officials before her death - and although those efforts were subsequently put on hold, various production companies are now trying to rekindle the ambition.
A source explained: "Cilla had a meeting with producers interested in turning her life story into a musical.
"She had actually granted them permission but it wasn't the right time.
"Now people are swarming around the rights. It seems the perfect time to bring her fairytale story to the stage.
"She led an incredible life both professionally and personally. If done in the right way, it would be a huge hit and sell out every night."
It's been suggested Sheridan Smith, who played the singer in ITV drama 'Cilla', could assume the role once again.
The insider told The Sun newspaper: "Sheridan's portrayal was wonderful. She's a great singer and more than capable of making the role her own."
Meanwhile, Cilla's funeral is to be held on Thursday (20.08.15) at St Mary's Church in Liverpool.

Lauren Goodger thinks Mario Falcone quit 'The Only Way Is Essex' because he "needs his own space".
The 28-year-old star - who quit the ITVBe show in 2012 - has revealed she supports her former co-star's decision to move on.
She exclusively told BANG Showbiz: "I think people are going to move on. I think that's what happens and there's only so much you can do on a show like that. It's repeating history and it is difficult and sometimes people need their own space so fair play to him and fair play to people that want to move on."
Mario - who was suspended from the show for promoting diet pills earlier this year - announced he was leaving 'TOWIE' after four years last week.
He wrote on Twitter: "I can confirm I have left #TOWIE. Thank you for having me @OnlyWayIsEssex for having me!! And thank you to the fans (sic)."
Lauren - who was previously engaged to Mark Wright - also admitted she no longer talks to her former co-stars.
She said: "Lydia [Bright] I don't speak to, no, and [James] Arg [Argent] I've known for years, but they're more like work colleagues you know? Like when you just bump into people that you used to work with.
"I bumped into Lydia a few weeks ago and she was saying that I'm going to have to come over. A few of the girls message me every now and then ... It's just like seeing old work friends really, which is quite nice."
Lauren and her boyfriend Jake McClean have teamed up with Foxy Bingo for the release of their new chocolate body paint Fur Afters.

Julian Fellowes "forgets" the characters in 'Downton Abbey' aren't real.
The 65-year-old writer and creator of the hit ITV period drama has confessed he gets so caught up in his storylines and the performances of the actors that he sometimes forgets they're not real people and is feeling emotional about the show coming to an end.
Speaking at a screening of the first episode of the sixth and final series of the show at The May Fair Hotel in London, Fellowes said: "The thing about fans that's always bewildering is when they can't tell the difference between the character that's being played and the character of the actor who played them and they get all merged, but I think I'm guilty a bit of that.
"The unreality of the show I slightly forget because they've been so real to me for so many years now, for six years I've been going with these people and so I do think you have a little bit of sadness, no matter how idiotic it is, and sentimental, you do feel rather sorry to say goodbye to these people because I've enjoyed the creation and I'll be sorry to see them go."
The 'Gosford Park' writer also insisted he doesn't have a favourite character but enjoyed being able to write differently depending on the personality of the actor.
He explained: "I think I'm in love with all of them ... But also when a part is very well cast, the actor starts to bring qualities into the characterization that you then start to write for so it becomes completely collaborative and I think that's true for all of them.
"Mrs. Pattmore wasn't all that funny in the beginning but when we realised how funny Lesley Nicol was, well you start to write for that and she becomes the downstairs Violet [Dame Maggie Smith] in a way."

Ben Cohen's estranged wife Abby believes he did cheat on her with his 'Strictly Come Dancing' partner Kristina Rihanoff.
The professional dancer - who has been nicknamed the Siberian Siren - recently spoke out to insist she and Ben did not get together until after his split from Abby, but the retired rugby star's estranged wife believes their relationship began when they were partnered together on the show in 2013.
Abby said: "I feel like he deceived me on every level you can imagine.
"My husband, who I was with for 23 years, unconditionally loved and was completely loyal to in every respect, has left me for a f***ing Russian dancer."
Rumours of an affair between Ben and Kristina first began circulating when they were competing on the BBC One dance contest.
But the pair - who now admit they are dating - claim they didn't get together until earlier this year, following Ben's split from Abby in September 2014.
Abby told The Sun on Sunday newspaper: "The last two years have been the most traumatic thing to ever happen to me.
"He's done the dirty on me. I want people to know.
"I don't want to cause stress or further damage by stirring things up. But I'm just trying to recover from what has been the most horrific time of my life."
Abby - who has twin daughters Harriette and Isabelle with Ben - recently filed for divorce and is now "concentrating" on her children as well as her photography business.
Meanwhile, Kristina - who previously dated retired boxing star Joe Calzaghe following his stint on the show - is reportedly thinking about quitting 'Strictly', telling friends she "can't take it anymore".
A source said: "Kristina is right on the point of resigning. She has been saying that she can't take the criticism day in, day out. She doesn't want it and can't do it anymore.
"She is a real professional so it was a shock."

Kierston Wareing and Bruce Montague have joined the cast of 'Hollyoaks'.
The former 'EastEnders' actress - who played Max Branning's secret wife Kirsty from 2012 to 2014 - and the 'Butterflies' actor are joining the Channel 4 soap as venomous vixen Ashley Davidson and Nana McQueen's abusive ex Derek Clough.
Kierston - whose character has already been mentioned on-screen by Sgt. Ben Bradley (Ben Richards) and Trevor Royle (Greg Wood) - said: "I would describe Ashley as a control freak - I don't believe she has a nice bone in her body but I'm enjoying every minute of playing her. I'm also thoroughly enjoying working with Greg Wood, Jorgie Porter (Theresa McQueen) and Charlie Wernham (Robbie Roscoe) among others. Their characters are just a few who get manipulated by Ashley in some way or another, so stay tuned to see if she gets what she wants."
Meanwhile, Nana (Diane Langton) will be left stunned when her former flame Derek calls her from hospital to tell her he's dying.
Speaking about his new role, Bruce said: "I've done a lot of television over the years but working to a soap schedule is a true test of character. However, nobody complains and the cast are true professionals. I'm also preparing for an exciting stage role but my character in 'Hollyoaks', Derek, could not be in greater contrast. May 'Hollyoaks' go from strength to strength, it certainly deserves to. The actors with whom I worked most closely - Diane Langton, Zoe Lucker, Twinnie-Lee Moore and Kai Owen - are consummate."
Both Kierston and Bruce will make their first appearances in the soap next month.

Shayne Ward wants to stay on 'Coronation Street' for 20 years.
The 30-year-old pop star is set to make his soap debut as Aidan Connor next week and he is hoping he is a hit with viewers so he can stay in Weatherfield for a long time.
He said: "If they want me for the next 20 years, I'm here. I'm now part of one of the most iconic shows on TV. It's amazing. I'm living the dream."
Though he has only been on set for a few weeks, Shayne is loving every minute of filming.
He said: "It's been amazing. I've been filming for a few weeks now and it feels so great to be part of the cast. Everyone has been so welcoming - they've really made me feel relaxed on set. I'm having a great time."
And while he is excited at being in 'Corrie', the former 'The X Factor' winner is devastated that the British Soap Awards are scrapping the Sexiest Male prize as he would have loved to have scooped the honour.
He told OK! magazine: "I've just been told they're stopping the Soap Awards' Sexiest Male category! I was like, 'What?' Just to have been nominated for that would have been brilliant."

Sir Tom Jones has slammed the BBC for axing him from 'The Voice' without warning.
The 75-year-old singer has been a coach on the UK version of the singing competition since its first series four years ago, but it was announced yesterday (14.08.15) that he would not be returning next year.
In a message posted on his Facebook page, Sir Tom said: "In good faith, as part of the team, I'd put the time in my schedule to be involved in Series 5, as I've done so for the last 4 years. I've supported the show and the BBC since the beginning. I was told yesterday [13.08.15], with no consultation or conversation of any kind, that I would not be returning."
The 'Delilah' singer - whose contestant Leanne Mitchell won the first series of the show - admitted he's disappointed with the way he's been treated.
He added: "Having been through plenty of transformations throughout the years, I support and admire creative change. But being informed, as a matter of duty and respect, is an important part of creative relationships. This sub-standard behaviour from the executives is very disappointing. I will always admire the courage of the performers who participate in the show, as well as all the production staff who worked tirelessly to make a great family viewing experience for the audience at home. I wish the show well."
Sir Tom Jones and Rita Ora - who jumped ship to 'The X Factor' earlier this year - have been replaced by Boy George and Paloma Faith while will.i.am and Kaiser Chiefs frontman Ricky Wilson are set to return as coaches.
