ITV’S THIS MORNING has a long and proud history of bringing on really *interesting* guests for Holly and Phillip to chat to.
But a segment on yesterday’s show probably topped them all for sheer weirdness.
A man named Arran Lee Wright was on the couch with his sex robot Samantha – and the six minutes of telly won’t be topped on the awkwardness scale for quite some time
It began with Phillip clarifying that “we’ve turned her off, so that she doesn’t come out with anything inappropriate”

Holly just about got a question out:
“Why, why… why… why… is this necessary?”

People started watching from behind the sofa when some of Samantha’s audio “lines” were played out in the studio

They included:
I love you too
Do you think we could get more sensual?
I can take many times much more love just because you can give it
There were many, many awkward stares to the camera from Holly and Phillip throughout

Then Phillip got down to what he really thought with this question:
“It’s a bit like making love to a car GPS, isn’t it?”

Arran then asked the presenters “Wouldn’t you agree that she’s beautiful?”

Two answers came back:
No… no
There were so many shots throughout of just Samantha’s dead eyes staring straight ahead

She has “special skin” that is designed to feel like human skin, too – but then it was explained that the skin is left cold even though it can be “heated up”.
The facial expressions throughout were pained

It was then revealed that Arran has two kids and that Samantha has a family mode – which means “she can talk about animals, she can talk about philosophy, she can talk about science”

*all the awkward silences*
If second-hand embarrassment/cringe comedy is your thing – this is the interview for you
Samantha the sex robot on This Morning. I'm sat here laughing out loud. It has a family mode where she talks about animals and philosophy.

This is only going to end one way
It sparked a real debate about the ethics of such new technology, especially in a family environment
Whoops!
